" A valiant effort that brings the Alien franchise full circle" (CC2K)

"This is what science fiction is all about." (AvPGalaxy)

"The best 'Alien' script in twenty years." (PlanetAvP)

"This could be the Alien sequel fans have long been hoping for." (Alien Experience)

"The script itself is decent enough, and with a little reworking an a few touches here and there it could be a very interesting option to see come to life and definitely better than the dross we’ve endured recently." (Little White Lies)

"An ingenious little script, this is surely one of the most ambitious independent projects I’ve seen in years." (AndersonVision)

Friday, July 31 2009: Today it was confirmed that Ridley Scott will direct an Alien Prequel scripted by Jon Spaihts. I glad that Mr. Scott is returning to the franchise that he started. To me personally, this meant that I should finally stop my work on ALIEN PLANET because these guys are hopefully gonna rock the franchise again. I decided to make the screenplay available on the blog. Sure it's not perfect, I'm still learning, my basic English translation is flawed, especially in the dialogues, and the characters could be tighter and more fleshed out in the first act, but in the end it has a heart. And that is what most films lack. Feel free to read this as pure entertainment with a glass of wine, with Sigur Ros, Efterklang or Clint Mansell music in the background. A screenplay that you can imagine as a what-if, as a 3D film, and nothing more, something that takes you into another mood - to another planet. This is meant for daydreamers. Feel free to copy, paste and forward it! For those that fear any legal response, the screenplay is registered at the WGA West under the mysterious ID 1161616. I don't know what the hell that means ;-) I for my part would like to thank all those people that invested time into making Alien Planet a great experience. I wish Scott Free and Fox good luck. Let's colaborate, create and be productive. Please share your opinion in the comments!

Wreckamovie - AION (GOODBYE 5: AION)

Wreckamovie - AION (GOODBYE 5: AION)

"Rasputin and Rosa are astronauts on the spaceship AION. Both are now very old, and still in love, but the fading oxygen brings them into a desperate situation.

I hope you like what we have achieved so far with the first four GOODBYES (http://www.wreckamovie.com/productions/5goodbyes). Now it is the time to finish it with a BANG, it's time for GOODBYE 5: AION. This time there will be much more room for interaction. This is why we have started a new project for AION.

In its heart, AION is a love story. It is also a Science-Fiction short film (20 minutes) in the tradition of cerebral adventures as 2001 - A SPACE ODYSSEY, THE FOUNTAIN or SOLARIS. I hope that we'll be able to prove that you can do a film like this with collaboration and a small budget. Also, AION will conclude 5GOODBYES as a 100 minute feature film in which all 5 parts will be edited together.

I want to invite everyone who is interested. We're currently looking for CONCEPT ARTISTS, PRODUCTION DESIGNERS and other CREATIVE FOLKS who can help us designing the spaceship and the props. Attached you will find the screenplay and a letter/list with all details."

First Four GOODBYES now with subtitles!

5xABSCHIED - 5GOODBYES are 5 digital no-budget short films. Each film is completly different, but shares a similar theme: saying goodbye. Together they form a circle of life, starting with a 9-year-old girl and ending with two 70-year-old astronauts. Four films are already finished, the fifth is in preproduction.
We wanted to follow the DIY-attitude that would prove that you could do small independent movies without a film school and without a budget. The films are in German with English Subtitles.
