30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong

8. Alien franchise

Premise of the movies: The Alien franchise started with just one single movie, which instantly received critical acclaim. In the original movie, a team wakes up from cryo-sleep in the middle of their journey to hear a distress call from an alien vessel. On the vessel, they find alien eggs and soon gain more than they bargained for.

The movie may have come earlier than it did if it wasn’t for movie studios having little hope in the sci-fi genre. It was Star Wars that saved that.

Why they need the Lego treatment: Since the creation in the 1970s, Alien has already spawned multiple sequels, books, games, and much more. The only thing missing is a Lego version of the movie. It has to happen, right?

The benefit of Lego is that the story can stay largely the same without feeling like the original movie is ruined. In fact, many of the original actors could take up the voices of their original roles. There’s a chance to create a bigger and better monster, even bringing in other similar franchises into the mix. After all, Star Wars and the superheroes have already proven that introducing other franchises and mixing genres work.

This would be a chance to do something with Alien that has never been done before. That’s hard to say now considering just how much has happened over the last almost 40 years.
