Yes, here's hoping for John. Just saw him in the original Alien (1979) again last night, realizing how it's still the best entry in the series, although I'm really looking forward to Prometheus 2 (which many people hated because it didn't give them the answers they sought neatly packed as they'd foolishly hoped, when it was announced from the start as the first in a new series, so people called it "jumbled" and lacking in logic simply because the story was stretched out over more films than this one).
But to re-connect this with Terry, Alien Resurrection (1997), while a lot better than most people say it is if you're a fan of Jeunet's 90s work up to that film, was the weirdest (the 1979 original was weird in a dark wonder and abyss way, and definitely not as quirky as Resurrection) by being made by a Terry fan but without using Terry's trademark wide-angle lenses as he'd had in Delicatessen (1991) and The City of Lost Children (1995). Overall, I'm giving Resurrection 7 points out of 10 as for what a Jeunet Alien film coulda been. Which is a 7 that includes one bonus point for a strangely immersive pull it has on re-watching somehow (only wanted to take a look at the underwater scene again that somehow reminds me of Tarkovsky's Stalker where they're also passing a flooded facility, and ended up seeing pretty much the entire film from then on) by being pure Jeunet, that is without Terry's lenses, nor being as nauseatingly saccharine as everything he's done ever since Amelie.
