I'd say the first movie was a little bit more of a Night of the Living Dead zombie setup, with the alien apocalypse on top of it. It was definitely coming more from a horror standpoint.
The characters were coming more from a horror standpoint. For part two Part of it was because of the mixed feedback from part one, but even before Skyline came out, we came up with the idea for part two. We knew we wanted to go in a more action movie direction. We already had the idea of the cop being the lead in part two. Part one was like, "what would a normal dude in the middle of an alien invasion do in a hopeless and dire situation?
It's this guy. Like, whatever he says, I'm gonna follow him. I really embraced the character archetypes that I love the most. I wanted to do Die Hard with an alien invasion. I wanted him to be this John McClane type of character. The way we ended up casting Iko and Yayan, it was a total stroke of luck. We were over in Indonesia and the producers were having dinner with us and were like, "They'd be great in this movie!
Like, they're available? That's possible? And it ended up perfectly fitting their schedule. They were like, "Do you want us to do choreo? Like you said, it secretly became a martial arts movie. And then for part three, I always wanted to do an adventure to an alien planet.
I was thinking about that when we were filming part two, but I didn't know quite how to get there. When we did the wraparounds with Lindsey, which were the last things we filmed for Beyond Skyline, it was when I saw I really loved her dynamic.
Even at the end of that movie when she's cracking jokes with Trent and then swaggering in and blowing up the aliens, that was the tone that the new movie becomes. It is, like you say, a little bit more fun! It really embraces This a movie that, when it's safe to have my friends come over, I want to order a couple of pizzas and buy a few six-packs, and I want to just watch their faces during so many moments of this movie. Like, when the movie just spontaneously breaks into that kick-ass martial arts fight, I want to see them when they realize how delightfully off the rails this movie can go, in the best possible way.
That scene was one of those things where I was like We had even more martial arts in the cavern fight. It was so hard because I knew we had such a big story, that we would have to cut that down and stick to the story.
Because every shot of the new shadow aliens is expensive, and there was only so much we could do on our budget. But the choreo team had a ten-minute fight where they were just murdering aliens in the most amazing ways, and it breaks your heart not to include all of it. But then it was definitely important to me to still have the martial arts flavor that we introduced in Beyond.
We wanted to hold back and then release it in some surprising and fun ways, with both Daniel Bernhardt's character, and Yayan's triumphant return! Oh yeah. There's a whole act in the film that's just cheers compounded on top of cheers. I really had a great time. That was the one scene I really wanted to see with an audience. It was very much designed for I saw Beyond Skyline at every festival we were invited to.
I tried to embrace the experience and watch it in theaters with an audience as many times as I could. It was really an education on how to engineer those fan interaction moments for part three. That was one of them where I really wanted to see it with an audience, but I couldn't because of the pandemic. I imagine some filmmakers might be combative against an audience, like, "You're not supposed to be cheering or laughing, I'm very serious, this is my art!
I think people don't laugh enough because they don't quite get my sense of humor.

Specifically, outtakes after the credits.
This is another idea that's interesting on the outset—a tenuous coexistence of two species previously at war with each other— but it becomes a muddled idea due to O'Donnell's weak character development.
Their journey takes them into a worm hole and to a planet called Cobalt 1, where evil aliens mill about. Like a lot of the action thrills "Skylines" tries to offer throughout, it's comprehensible, but almost functions mostly to keep your eyes away from noticing the stagey sets, which thankfully later embrace red and bright lights for contrast. Things are a little brighter back on Earth, where the alien pandemic leads to intermittent, frantic ambush scenes in London that at least take place in daylight.
Mal Rhona Mitra has figured out a serum but is trying to hold off attacking aliens; she gets assistance from Elaine Samantha Jean , who too can fend them off with firepower. This sequence is spread out in the overall story as if it were one big action scene we get as a commercial break from the Cobalt business; like Rose's mission to capture the aliens' egg-like life-source for the aliens, it feels mostly inconsequential.
The movie is so unoriginal that I realize I had the same complaint for "Beyond Skyline.
