Species 4

FilmRot has a plotline for the fourth installment of this questionable franchise. Nick Lyon will be directing. His entry in IMDB does not give confidence as far as experience goes.

The script by Ben Ripley, who penned Species III, follows Miranda Hollander, a beautiful and brilliant young university professor who’s horrified when her “uncle”, Tom Hollander, reveals that she is not actually human after all, but an alien hybrid he created in a laboratory with his former scientific associate Forbes McGuire. When Miranda’s bestial alien side emerges, with bloody consequences, Tom rushes her to Mexico, hoping that Forbes will be able to help. But when Forbes and Tom combine forces to prolong Miranda’s lapsed life span, they soon learn that the “cure” is far worse than the disease.

I won’t lie. I own the first two Species movies. Mostly for Natasha Henstridge. I mean, the tagline for the second movie was “mating season begins…” I don’t regret buying that DVD in any way. Unless this Miranda Hollander is played by Henstridge, I’m not sure what the point of this movie will be.
