Before even seeing District 9, we had a feeling there’d be at least a hint of human-alien sex, because science fiction, smart or dumb, has always had a fascination with the idea of inter-species love. And while bestiality may still be a taboo subject for Hollywood, the movies are always okay with the interplanetary variety, probably because it’s (usually) more consensual.

The aliens in District 9 are not sexy, though (not to us, anyway). They look like, and are derogatorily called, Prawns. So there are no apparent romances between these creatures and humans. But there is a reference to Nigerian prostitutes selling sex to the prawns, and there’s also sort of a depiction of a man and a prawn going at it “doggy style.”

While human-alien sex is commonly found in outer-space tales, such as Star Trek, we decided to look primarily at examples of visitors to Earth getting it on with the locals, similar to international sexcations that occur in the real world. Of course, because we’re not too familiar with sci-fi porn, there are likely a few good sex scenes we’ve left out. Feel free to tell us about them (if you’re not embarrassed) in the comments section.

  • Russell Brand is remaking Arthur and may star in the title role, which originally earned Dudley Moore an Oscar nomination. Hopefully it’s not too big a hit, though, because we can do without another Arthur 2: On the Rocks. However, if Brand is the new Moore, I’d love to see him in a redo of Mickey + Maude.
  • Another remake:  John Carpenter’s They Live is being recycled at Universal, and hopefully they’re eyeing a WWE star for the lead. Triple H perhaps? Or John Cena? The new film will join the mixed bag of Carpenter redoes including Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog and the upcoming Escape from New York. At this point it seems that every one of Carpenter’s films will have been remade by the time he’s dead.
  • And yet another remake: Fox is redoing Romancing the Stone, which is a shame, because they should just continue the franchise. Even if they still recast all the characters, it’d be better than a straight copy.
  • Finally something original: Lorne Michaels is making a movie about David Fishman, the 12-year-old aspiring food critic recently profiled in the New York Times. Sounds a bit too cute for my taste buds, but I’m always down for more foodie movies.
  • Hilary Swank still needs a better agent, unless she really wants to make yet another lame stalker thriller.
