With news of the next Alien film’s existence coming to us back in March from The Hollywood Reporter, it seems as though things are just about ready to kick into high gear! And now, according to a Film & Television Industry Alliance (FTIA) Production listing, Alien: Romulus will begin filming Feburary 6th, 2023, something first shared by the Budapest Reporter earlier this month!
The working title of Alien: Romulus is a name that has been floating around online since November. Budapest Reporter’s news piece also says it’s likely that filming will be taking place at Origo Studios in Budapest, where a number of prominent sci-fi films such as The Martian, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune (2021) have been shot.
The folks over at Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast, who have been in contact with director Fede Álvarez also previously posted that a round of filming had already begun in Australia as far back as September, and to our knowledge they were also the first to mention the location of Origo Studios last month.
Actor Cailee Spaeny, who was announced last month by Deadline to be in talks for the lead role, recently posted a piece of H.R. Giger artwork to her Instagram, and is currently the only cast member on the production listing here. It seems safe to assume she got her part in the film secured!

I know this deleted moment from Dune was shot using that screen, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think anything that actually made it into the film was.
The Mandalorian has been pretty hit or miss with its use of the Volume. Sometimes you get really great visuals there as a result but I also often feel a bit disconnect between the subject in the foreground and the digital wall backdrop, likely because of how harshly the main subject has to be lit in the foreground.

The audition is for Bjorn, it also reveals characters Rain (gender unclear) who considers an android named Andy their brother, because Andy belonged to Rains father. Bjorn doesnt buy Andys personhood and connection to Rain, calling Andy "WY damaged goods your dad used to own". Bjorns dad is also dying from a disease "everyone is dying" from and some hailstorm is related to that but I dont fully understand whats being said. Gonna leave the rest to you.
That fan-made trailer made use of this animation by David Weinstock.

If this local crew account is to be believed, yes.
The account also posted this odd fanmade teaser for some reason... Anyone know the source of this thing?
EDIT: Found the original upload of the fanmade teaser:
But anyways, yeah, if that guy's account is to be believed, it seems like production is indeed underway, and has been for a week now.
There movies with deleted blood
(Like marvel tv from netflix)
How they make in prey prometheus or covenant? Ha ha?
Outside of America, yes.
Does that mean Disney+ will get them as ?
A different country and culture, but the new Japanese Godzilla movie has been in post production for a while now, with a release in November of this year. Not a set photo or leak has been revealed officially. There's some rumblings and rumors, but everything is tight lipped.
That's the best way to do it in my opinion. Makes the actual viewing of the film more rewarding when you don't know the plot, designs or what's coming. Kinda like how it used to be before the internet days. Though speculating on all the bits we get is always fun too.
No, we didn't really get anything to announce shooting. It was a very quiet production, and I was expecting the same for Romulus. Seems like the Hulu productions just aren't going to make as much noise for us all to discuss.
As long as they're as good as Prey was, I don't mind as much. I'd prefer they get up on the big screen, but as long as they're quality in the end, that's fine by me.
I think we might have known Amber Midthunder and that's about it when production started, which is about on par with this. Cailee Spaeny's name was officially in the trades a couple months back.
Only time will really tell, of course, but it seems like these Hulu originals do shoot a bit under the radar, at least in comparison to other films coming from 20th Century Studios that are aiming for a wider, theatrical release.
The anticipation and counting the days are gonna be torturous lol
I'm still looking forward to it! I love being a fan of Alien / Predator.👏

Can't wait to hear and see more of it!
I thought it was an edgy way of saying Alien: Resurrection. 😅
No idea where this is stemming from, can't find anything anywhere referring to it as "Renaissance," but if there's any inkling of truth here, there's some potential for thematic overlap with "Romulus," what with the Renaissance period's revival of certain ideas/concepts from the ancient Rome that Romulus had supposedly founded.
Maybe we might be seeing extraterrestrial sites (or, perhaps, human sites) built atop the ruins of far more ancient extraterrestrial sites from a long-past era, perhaps?
Alien: Renaissance
No way I'm subscribing to that, so I'm really hoping someone posts it soon...
Hmmm, can't seem to find any of it spilling onto Twitter yet (maybe I'm just searching the wrong key words?). Will keep an eye out...
🤔

If he sees an opportunity to keep Alien in the Scott Free stable, he'll take it.
Having a generous but not huge budget bodes well.
