AFTER TEN YEARS IN DEVELOPMENT HELL, ALIENS CROSSOVER FILM GIVEN GREENLIGHT

T.A.M.P.O.N. exclusive

The long-in-development flick combining Hollywood's baddest space-monster franchise with one of the BBC's best loved gangs of military buffoons looks like it's finally getting off the drawing board.

Resident Evil director Paul Anderson has been tapped to direct the film for 20th Century Fox, Daily Variety reports.

The tussle should be a good one. Introduced in 1979's Alien, the jaw-dropping, acid-blooded insectoid race probably would have taken over the universe by now if it wasn't for the heroic efforts of Sigourney Weaver. And the Japanese would surely have won the second world war had it not been for the valiant struggle of the British Army's concert party in Burma as chronicled in the BBC's classic seventies sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum.

Initially thought to have been permanently put on hold due to the recent death of Don Estelle, Fox surprised everyone by announcing that they were intending to go ahead with not only a CGI version of the diminutive actor - playing "Lofty" Newt - but also a CGI Michael Bates, starring as the android Ranji Bishop.

Basically a retread of the 1986 classic Aliens, directed by James Cameron, Aliens vs Concert Party (working title It Ain't Half Acid Mum) is to star Windsor Davies as Sergeant -Major "Shut Up" Apone and Melvyn Hayes as Bombadier "Gloria" Hudson as well as many other members of the original It Ain't Half Hot Mum cast.

The film will see an updated version of the classic concert party lineup being sent to the Earth colony on planet LV-426 to entertain the colonists, only to be caught up in a bloody battle for survival. Mr "Lah-di-dah" Gunner Drake and others will be pitting their wits against the most lethal creatures ever discovered, and just who survives and who dies is a secret that will have to remain unknown until the film's release.

Overseeing the project will be original It Ain't Half Hot Mum writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft, as well as David Giler and Walter Hill, who produced all four Alien films.
