As we continue to wait for the first official teaser trailer or publicity stills of Alien: Romulus, the actors have started to open up about the film. Isabela Merced recently talked about a “disgusting” scene that had her co-stars looking away. Now, in a new interview with MovieWeb, actor David Jonsson has described Fede Alvarez’s upcoming film as “very, very, very different.”
“I mean, I’m not too sure what I can say just yet, but I know that… I know that it’s very, very, very different. I think Alien was slightly before my generation, in terms of its depth and its impact at the time, but you know, we have such an incredible spin on it. And we had Fede Álvarez as our director, Ridley Scott producing it. It was incredible to work with those people, and opposite Cailee Spaeny, who is just a brilliant actress. I think it’s going to be cool. I’m very excited.”
“We have such an incredible spin on it” describes Alien: Romulus actor David Jonsson.

Just checked that one out on YT. I love how they reveal The Queen without actually revealing much. Just her legs coming out of the dropship and a brief shot of her face. Perfect. Can imagine audiences back then going all "What ... what the hell is THAT ?"
Would it be out of the question to do a retrospective a look back to the teaser brief glimpses of the previous films
The first Alien had a really effective teaser with the barren terrane and a single egg which scrawls as it hatches and a flashes of snips from the movie Ending with the line "In space ... no one can hear you scream".
The other teasers had good novelties, Aliens's with brief flashes then the line "This time it's war".
The misleading Alien³ teaser with an egg floating over earth and the line "On Earth... everything can hear you scream".
Alien Resurrection's Twinkle Little Star worth brief flashes and the line Witness the Resurrection.
AVP's silhouette of the monsters then the line Whoever wins...we loose.
AVP Requiem had a teaser which brief glimpses of the movie with the red band trailer revelling in the gore.
Prometheus's vague glimpses that makes use of the original Alien teaser siren and the Alien "The search for our beginning could lead to our end".
Alien Covenant's teaser giving a glimpse at the back burster in medbay, use of a song Nature Boy sung by Aurora,
various glimpses and ending with the shower kill.
Neat to look back at what's come before, the excitement, the speculations, the letdowns, the expectations met, the effectiveness of promotion and viral marketing overall enthusiasm as fans what they have in store.
I can easily see this too.
For the trailer on Alien Day, well it seems less likely regarding recent information. It points towards an earlier date.
Like SiL said, there isn't really a bible for the production side of things. Steve Asbell (who oversees film production for 20th Century Studios) doesn't even have any official overlap with the studio's television side (though he did say that they chat about certain things).
It's been delayed a million times, but (so far) is on track for late this year now. We have a thread for it here.
Not sure what has caused all of the delays, but it has been confirmed by some folks in the know here that the delays are not to accommodate Romulus and that the film will not be accounted for in the book.
The butthole has aWOKEn...
Criticizing religious fundamentalism and traditional values while having prominent women save the "chosen one's" life and manipulate the whole of the human species for millennia. Things are really getting out of hand I must say.......
Dafuq ? I'm not watching this movie anymore.
My Grandpa was a pilot in WWII and then after flew planes around in Alaska. He had a job where he would fly people in by seaplane to land on lakes or rivers and drop people off to go fly fishing for salmon. He often flew Herbert, which led to them building a friendship. One day he brought Frank over to the house to have cigars and some drinks, the only time he ever came over. My grandpa told my dad, who was in late elementary or jr. high school age, to come hang out with them, but my dad had a slight cold and just stayed in bed.
Later on my dad rises from his nap to find my grandpa saying how surprised he was that my dad didn't want to come out and meet his favorite author, Frank Herbert, who had been sitting in his living room for hours.
Frank Herbert better not go and write a super depressing sequel novel doubling down on that notion because he was frustrated that people somehow missed the point the first time around!
And Denis better not be planning to adapt that sequel, either.
It's been bursting out of my butthole ever since...
There's definitely no pizza delivery boys swimming with girls who think about clocks a lot in this one.
Also.......I really hope he doesn't mean teen slasher..we got that with AVPR.
The originals were woke in a non preachy way, which is good and the best way. They just showed a person go through some tough shit and develop during the course of the film. Just write movies like that. Then just put whatever type of person they want in the role and it will sell itself just fine.

This is a feature, not a bug. Maybe you just hate things that are FUN!.
I fun up with a headache this morning.
Nah, these word filters are a disaster.
Try typing out the word s-n-i-g-g-e-r (scornful laugh) as you would normally do and then post it and see what happens.
