Original Alien cast reunite for Alien: Isolation

So I was hyped about getting Alien Isolation but now I'm escstatic because most of the cast are returning for the video game Alien Isolation to lend both voices and likeness's . Details are still sketchy but it will be in the form of two parts of DLC. The First called Crew expendable will focus on the events just after Brett is killed in the hanger of the Nostromo and you can control either Dallas, Parker or Ripley who must lure the Alien to the air shafts.

The 2nd part of DLC is called Lone Survivor and play as Ripley as she trys to turn off the cooling tanks and blow up the ship all the while avoiding the "Big Chap".

That fact that Weaver and the rest of the cast are returning to lend this clout to a game is impressive and I for one can not wait.

Interview with awesome artiest and Aliens fan Josie Ann Marshall


Im interviewing Josie Ann Marshall one kick ass artiest from Uath and also a major action and sci-fi fan.


Martin: Which charater of the Aliens franchise was your favorite and why?

Josie: I like Ellen Ripley. I like her because she's a strong leader and always tries to say what she thinks and do the right thing. I love that she has a soft side too, but can also be tough as nails when need be. She was well written and seemed very organic.


Martin: Which of the Aliens franchise was your favorite and why?

Josie: I liked Aliens. I enjoyed the characters, plot, and Queen Alien. I enjoyed how the threat level went WAY up because in the first one there was 1 alien that wiped out the crew, now there were over 100 as most of the colonists were thought to have been hosts. I enjoyed the interactions between characters, the child being in danger and Ellen risking everything to save her, the budding romance, I enjoyed the end battle with the amazing Queen....It's just an awesome film on all levels, one I could pop in any day for a watch.

Martin: What was the scariest moment in the Alien movies for you?

Josie: Scariest part for me in Alien was when Newt and Ripley were standing amongst hundreds of eggs and low ammo.

Martin: Has anything from the movies ever influenced your art?

Josie: I've drawn a few pictures from the movie(s). I really enjoyed the Queen and have done a few pictures of her

Martin: Do you think the first two movies still hold today and if so why?

Josie: Yes. Well, the stories are awesome with likable and well written characters that play well off each other. The sets were awesome and I believed they were isolated in space...the practical effects on the aliens just blows my mind every time I watch the films.
