NECA Pulls Back the Curtain On “Alien: Isolation” Figures #SDCC
Ellen Ripley’s daughter made an appearance at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con as NECA revealed two completed 7″ Amanda Ripley action figures as seen in the terrifying “Alien: Isolation” video game.
The assortment includes two versions of Amanda (one in a jumpsuit and one in a spacesuit) and the Isolation Xenomorph. Amanda Ripley (Jumpsuit) comes with motion detector, flamethrower and backpack accessories. Amanda Ripley (Torrens Spacesuit) features a removable helmet and comes with a handgun accessory. The Isolation Xenomorph features a bendable tail.
Figures range from 7” to 10” tall. Each is highly articulated and entirely authentic to the video game.
As explained by Wiki, “A deleted scene from Aliens, which was later included on DVD releases, reveals that Ellen Ripley has a daughter, Amanda. She was ten years old during the events of Alien, but grew up, married (taking on the surname McClaren) and died during her mother’s 57-year stasis between the events of the first two films. A picture of Amanda as an older adult is shown to Ripley. The picture is actually Sigourney Weaver’s real-life mother, Elizabeth Inglis.”
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
