I understand all those complaints but to me it was still my favourite part of the movie by far. One of the chief criticisms was by the end it sort of outgrew its place structurally because it started to feel like it was the beginning of another act. We just really liked the world of the ship and everyone we showed the early cuts to wanted to learn more and more about it so we kept expanding that and the visual effects grew and grew. If we were going to do a sequel then we had to explore more of the mothership Originally the coda on the ship was meant to be this really mysterious “Twilight Zone” sort of ending where we revealed that she wasn’t dead and that someone or something was off-screen whispering her name. The ending kept evolving all the way through, from the second draft of the script, to the day of filming, and of course even more in post. We came up with the idea midway through November in 2009 and it was in theatres in November 2010. Skyline was such a quick turnaround from script to post to screen. We found the story for Beyond, which is still very much the structure and the seed of this idea while we were in post for the first movie. Some people thought we shouldn’t address the cliffhanger should just go and completely do our own thing but I felt it was important to the people that did like the first one that we tied it all together. I want it to be accessible for audiences who haven’t seen the first, so it’s designed sort of as a standalone feature but it is connected to the first film in a rather pivotal way. The 2010 movie Skyline ended with quite the cliff-hanger does Beyond Skyline connect the dots at all or is it more of a standalone feature?
