Ill not hold my breath, weve been down this road many many times and 100% been let down, not a single predator star wars or alien has been worth watching. Why would they suddenly get it right now? And the cast looks garbage.

02:46 So "Alien: Romulus" will not be a sequel to "Alien: Covenant"?!

Harkonnens were slowly but surely turning into the first Borgs!

It looks brilliant

The monochromatic lighting and overall look of the Geidi Prime scenes also appear to owe a lot to the HR Giger concepts he did for Jodorowsky back in the 70s.

As a purist... There are no machine hybrids mentioned in Frank Herberts' original works. These "machine hybrids" are a manifestation of corporate Hollywood, and are destroying a literary masterpiece, standard behaviour for the breed. If only there was a Hollywood director or film producer who was respectful of Authors and their hard work. Edit: the Harkonnen penchant for cruelty was already embellished upon by Frank Herberts' descriptions of their predilections for various forms of control and their enjoyment of torture.

I can only hope it winds up on broadcast TV. Ron W4BIN

I heard something similar for the last movie. I'll wait for the reviews. Seems like a lot of directors are saying they are going back to our roots then they fumble it or just say it to get the fans interested. Sounds more like they are making a movie only to keep the rights of said movie. Still needs good writing story and character development. Don't have a lot of faith in this...

Yeah yeah yeah... but is the story good? Tell a great story and cgi vs practical etc... won't matter nearly as much

Let`s hope mate

Retro Futurism!!!

GOOD NEWS Everyone!

Loved the original film can’t wait to see old school syfi

The Beauty and the Beastie... "a Wolf?" "no a sand-worm" "holy...." "but he's a super-rich god emperor though" "ok i'm interested now"

Why the crap voice..?

Will be there opening day. This is by far my most anticipated movie of the summer.

We will see when the original Alien came out it was awesome scared the crap out of me maybe the magic is returning hopes are high

Elaine, Stop getting me hyped! This dude is saying all the right things. I hope it is good.

Good to see them going back to old school special effects (where appropriate). Hopefully they've also have a good script with believable characters....

Honestly, the Alien franchise is off course IMO. A bunch of sweaty people stuck in some space, trying to escape a near certain death by facehugger and chest explosion. We've done this too many times. When it started to get to the race which created the Aliens, it finally started to give the franchise some room to grow¹. Alas, that path was clearly killed off. And now we're stuck with sweaty people screaming in fear for what, the hundred millionth time, now? ¹ ideas for where the franchise could've gone: show the Engineers first attempt to eradicate human life, and how ancient humans survived. This would tie in with the AVP film. Show the internal conflict amongst the Engineers that ultimately led to leaving humanity alone Show the Engineer's conflict with the Predators. Show humans and Predators allying against the Engineers Show humans ultimately being the "monster" the Engineers feared them to be, as humans eradicate the Engineers, basically plunging them into a dark ages. Humans, having killed their "gods," become the new gods, and the cycle repeats with Engineers, eons later, overthrowing an overgrown human empire.

A lot of anti-sjws keep making the same mistake of saying that Paul is on a “Hero’s Journey” unlike the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. BOY they are in for a fuckin RUDE AWAKENING when Dune Messiah comes out. Also, I completely cannot understand how anyone can see Paul as being on a hero’s journey when it’s literally spelled out for you even in Dune Part 1 that the prophecy is a lie and that Paul is only using the Fremen for revenge.

Romulus reminds me of Alien: Isolation a lot…at least in some of the story beats I’ve heard

It is amusing to think about the visceral reactions of the actors to the physical presence of a 'creature' or a set. Maybe some have only worked on sci-fi/ horror where it was mostly CG and they were performing in front of a green-screen. For the cast and crew to be creeped out and frightened while doing the scenes brings some of that old depth of character acting back.

I had not heard of this film before. (really). I'm optimistic about it.

I will enjoy seeing it on the big screen

Villeneuve movie. Chani from what I heard rejected Paul for doing this

Thanks cookies! This gives me hope that there'll be more than 2 Alien movies! Meaning I'm not that big of a fan for anything after Aliens. Aliens 3 was ok and sort of interesting due to its setting though. I love that the original movies are now being called retro-futuristic. Like so much of science fiction rather than retro-futuristic they were heavily stamped with the aesthetic DNA of when they were made. But yeah, by today's benchmarks, they've evolved into the retro-futuristic aesthetic due to their age. Be interesting to see if he sticks with the CRT (tube) monitors rather than LED/LCD and other little things like that.

I'm cautiously optimistic...

I am definitely excited for this movie. Great video!

I love what I heard on this video. I’ll go see this latest it iteration!

I’m cautiously optimistic about the film. Good to hear the director went with the original special effects crew & practical effects.

Seeing that bts with the r/c facehugger is what's given my hope that this will be a worthy addition to the Alien franchise.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I really love what Alvarez said there about using practical along with CGI. Story wise, it'd be really nice to see movies that take an approach similar to what was done in the old Dark Horse Comics Alien (and Predator) comics, where the xenomorphs were almost a backdrop to tell very human stories, much like how zombies are best used, like in "Train to Busan." For great one-shot examples, check out "Aliens: Salvation", "Aliens: Sacrifice" and "Aliens: Pig"

Nerd Cookies.... As long as they don't have the David timeline in here, I'll go and see the movie.

Why don't they just decanonize everything after Aliens?

I hope the movie isn't about recovering the original Xenomorph from Alien.

the CJI was shockingly crap on the newer series. the life models of 1978 added more realism.

Worst part of the movie by far! Not only was there no real chemistry between her and Paul, but turning her into a SJW anti-fundamentalist was the worst part! It changes their whole dynamic from the book and her character in general. Bad call IMO

I'll save my determination on the films relevancy and uniqueness after it launches without DEI influence.

It shows he has a respect and carefor the original story material and for the mythos that has the Alien franchise so iconic. Plus, it illustrates that this director is a true craftsman when it comes to creating an awesome and terrifying movie without using more advanced methods. It's more grounded and reliable in away. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and Geek- on.😂👽🖖🤓

Movie sounds mid. Everyone is a critic and I realize I’m in the MINORITY but I want a conclusion or more exposition on the subject of the ENGINEERS. And what of the fantastic Androids/Automatons? David 8, Bishop, Ash? Romulus looks like cheap scares and cheap thrills

You make it sound really good.

I love how the producer is doing movie that is in line with the former fell of the movies and thus doing the job the right way instead of re-inventing the storyline by using props as much as possible and only resorting to CGI effects for scenes where you can't actually obtain them in real life.

Do you think I'm interested in seeing the matriarchy? Story.

I want a breathable atmosphere. I NEED an rc facehugger xenomorph!

I can't wait to see this, it does look really good. The set, production quality is simply top-notch. Fede Alvarez does seem to be a very good choice for making a new Alien film and bringing it all back to that classic "sci-fi horror." I would really luv it if he makes a gruesome scene, where a protomorph, or just whole-new type of "morph", bursts out of one of the character's bodies. Like a entire "body-burster" thing, where the bones, flesh, muscle all just ripped apart as the new creature comes out of it. Got to say i'm getting abit tired of the "Ripley-esqe" look of these female lead characters now. Shaw, Daniels (with a seriously horrible haircut in Covenant), and now Caley Spaeny; basically wish they wouldn't keep hiring brunettes. But i'm willing to give Spaeny a chance. This and Deadpool & Wolverine are only the movies i'm looking forward to now for rest of this year.

As a fan of the first 2 Alien movies, I'm not gonna really hold my breath for what comes next. I hope Alien Romulus and the other iterations are good, but they're really going to have to clear a high bar to bring me back.

I thought Covenant was okay tbh, undeniably inferior to the first two movies but I was entertained and I found it endlessly amusing to see James Franco burn up 😁🔥🔥

Encouraging stuff, love practical effects.
