They just won’t quit!

Probably we can expect a Prey-level boiled down Alien thing.

I thought Prometheus and Alien Covenant formed their own spin off series (similar to AvP films) Was Cov. the fifth film and Prometheus the outlier?

Well, six official installments and three spin-off movies over the course of 45 years is kind of considered a low count these days.

Yeah. It's not an Alien movie even though it is.

I think it's more notable when a franchise keeps getting recycled/rebooted despite not having a universally well-regarded movie since 1986. I know both Prometheus and Covenant have their fans, but... it's a franchise that peaked in the mid-80s and hasn't come anywhere close to recapturing that level of success.

Prometheus, Covenant and the one that got cancelled after Covenant were the prequel series to the original Alien.

Going to be Alien: Romulus, apparently.

I still want to see Blomkamp's Alien. The concept art is awesome.

's Sign me up, I really enjoyed Prey.

See the Terminator franchise, except the early 90's.

Dude... What if like... The Aliens ended up fighting the Romulans from Star Trek?

Aliens in the Ancient Rome?
Rome was founded by Xenomorphes!?
Roman Emperors were Xenomoprhs in disguise?!?!!?

I would watch that!

Followed by Predators vs Klingons and finally Borg vs Terminators.

Shooting next week:

Apparently it takes place in a "distant colony" with a group of young people trying to survive the xenomorphs.

Friday 13th meets Xenomorhps?

So while the Alien TV show will take place "around Prometheus," this movie will take place between Alien and Aliens, and will have the original people making the suits for Cameron's Aliens. So it'll have an Aliens look.

Hm... so that's all it is, then? I thought maybe it'd be the colonists' story on LV-426 (because what else could it possibly be, between Alien and Aliens?). Maybe it'll turn out alright but it looks like more "Alien: Greatest Hits Collection" like Covenant was.

Second trailer.



I hope people aren't expecting too much of this. From what I wager, I'd expect something technically impressive and capable (if small in scope), but mostly just a lot of people running around and screaming. I don't think we're going to be taken any place "new."

There hasn't been a good Aliens movie since Aliens in 1986. After the 4 meh to bad movies before this I don't think anyone is expecting much.

That's why Prometheus was terrific. It had a an amazing story, enough fibers to become the franchise itself, and the VFX work were photo real in every capacity. But now we will do more dark and smoke scares with Xenomorphs.

There was nothing wrong with the story (beyond it almost being an almost copy-paste remake of AVP! finding travel coordinates from temples, traveling to a temple with traps in it, etc.) but it's a pity it was full of truly stupid-headed characters. Which they then doubled down on with Covenant. Which killed Ridley Scott's prequel quadrilogy dead in its tracks.

Yeah, I didn't hate Covenant but.....I don't go back and watch it. At all.

The first Alien film is probably one of my favourite films ever. Apart from that one bad second where you see the Xenomorph for the first time and it looks like a guy in a rubber suit going „BOO!“, it‘s flawless. The second one has this pulpy 80s-action-B-movie feel to it in the beginning but the final act is fantastic. I also enjoyed the third one, mainly because I used to be a fan of David Fincher.

But everything after that was people trying to milk a franchise in which everything had been said. Alien 4 was dumb, Prometheus looked great but was incredibly stupid. With this one I‘m not even going to watch a trailer.

Yeah looking back at it there is a lot of Alien content out there on film and yet it's only been "great" a couple of times..... It's the same with Predator too. The first one, then the one with Adrian Brody were terrific. I thought Prey was brilliant and honestly "Predator throughout history" is probably the best way to go with that franchise....

Predators was great until the end of it. They totally screwed up at the end and it was a huge missed opportunity.

I think there's a lot of ways to go with Predator they haven't gone. A Machiko Noguchi-type story where a human earns their way into a Predator hunting party, going world to world would be neat. A National Geographic-style almost documentary of "day in the life" or "week in the life" of a Predator growing into manhood on the Predator homeworld would be neat. A focused, Saving Private Ryan, storming Normandy Beach-style AVP movie where a pack of Predators take on a full-on Alien hive, possibly even on the Alien homeworld would be neat. Predators and Engineers? Maybe there's something there. The most boring thing to me is just a rinse and repeat, "A Predator comes, there is a cat and mouse until an unlikely hero gets the upper hand and outsmarts/outwits the Predator." Enough time had passed that we hadn't seen that formula before with Prey, but to do it again would be dumb.

To be honest they need to do a direct sequel to Arnold's movie - but they do something that develops the story. Dutch gets involved again at the governments request because they acknowledge these things exist and they have to do something to stop the Predator race from coming to Earth en masse because they started looking down on us rather than just hunting, or something like that. Maybe even put Adrian Brody in it somehow.

Something that raises the stakes and takes the story up a level.

I'd be all about that! Just call it "DUTCH," but in the Predator font. They'd better do it quick while Arnold is still able to stand.

So any thoughts to how this takes place between Alien and Aliens? We know Weyland-Yutani hadn't found that derelict vessel on LV-426 all the way up to Aliens... so how are there Aliens in this? They had to have found that drone Ripley ejected from the Nostromo, floating in space? Right? What else can it be? And it looks like we have Drones being "born" out of sacs from the wall, sort of like the Drone was facilitating in the walls in the deleted scene in Alien.

And then this Romulus station obviously gets thoroughly destroyed by the end of the movie. Otherwise why would Weyland-Yutani care so much about sending Ripley back to LV-426 or even Ripley herself in Alien 3 and so on?

I've seen the movie.
