[San Diego Comic-Con ’12] It Gets Even Better, NECA Reveals “Game Over Man” Hudson From ‘Aliens’ — Cpl. Dwayne Hicks Next?
While we still dream of a Ripley figure, NECA continues to do well by fans by turning away from creatures and focusing on the awesome characters that make the classic horror franchises so badass.
Just now, this very second, NECA pulled the black cloak off revealing “Game Over Man Hudson” from James Cameron’s 1986 epic Aliens, my personal all-time favorite movie. Thanks to Evan Dickson, we have your first ever look, and will be updating this post with a massive NECA image gallery loaded with everything from Gremlins to Left 4 Dead.
There are still more figures in hiding. What could be next? Dare I say the earlier teased Cpl. Dwayne Hicks (played by Michael Biehn)? We’ll update this story when the next cover is pulled off…

Amblin Movie ‘Thursday Murder Club’ Sounds Like ‘Knives Out’ Meets ‘Cocoon’
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
