They just won’t quit!

*Andrew NDB* · 11-16-2022, 07:57 PM

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

*oldmanwinters* · 11-16-2022, 08:00 PM

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.

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?

~~Sumac~~ · 12-22-2022, 02:55 PM

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-03-2023, 06:26 PM

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-20-2024, 01:21 PM

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-04-2024, 12:56 PM

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."
