[Toys] Prototype For NECA’s ‘Alien’ Nostromo Spacesuit!
Already reported out of the San Diego Comic-Con this past July, NECA is gearing up for the 35th Anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Alien in 2014.
As Figures.com reminds us, fans will receive 7-inch action figures celebrating the classic 1979 sci-fi film, with confirmed figures including “Captain Dallas” in Nostromo spacesuit, “Kane” and “Jones the Cat” (the feline will come packed with a figure). Still no Ripley, as allegedly Sigourney Weaver won’t sign over her likeness…
The site scored a new behind-the-scenes look at the very early wax sculpt of the Nostromo spacesuit, most likely for Dallas.

Oscar Nominated ‘Poor Things’ Starring Emma Stone Heads Home in February
Nominated for eleven Oscars including Best Motion Picture of the Year, director Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things is coming home in a couple weeks, we’ve learned this morning.
Poor Things will be available for digital purchase & rental on Prime Video beginning February 27, and it’ll also be streaming on Apple TV+ the same day. It hits Blu-ray on March 12.
Emma Stone stars alongside Willem Dafoe in Poor Things from Yorgos Lanthimos (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Dogtooth), a Frankenstein-like tale based on the 1992 novel by Alistair Gray. Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott, and Mark Ruffalo also star.
Lanthimos’ latest tells “the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.”
Poor Things has been rated “R” for “Strong and pervasive sexual content, graphic nudity, disturbing material, gore, and language.”
Stone previously starred in Lanthimos’ ruthless period comedy The Favourite, marking a reunion between the actor, director, and screenwriter Tony McNamara (“The Great,” Cruella).
Meagan wrote in her 5-star review for Bloody Disgusting, “Poor Things’ dedication to bluntly exploring the weirdest quirks of humanity, from infancy to adulthood, is the precise type of strange cinema that mainstream audiences will find off-putting. Yet through Stone’s audacious performance and Lanthimos’ awe-inducing approach, Poor Things fearlessly and humorously champions the magic of curiosity that’ll reward adventurous movie lovers.”
