    Quote from: GrimmVision on Apr 28, 2024, 05:44:23 AMI was able to get a group of 20 friends and co-workers to see the last screening at an AMC on May 1st for my very late birthday celebration ;D So far, we're the only people in the theater for that showing. There's a handful of people in my group who have never seen it either! 

    I got to see the director's cut for the 40th anniversary in a theater, but I'm positively thrilled to finally see the original theatrical release in theaters for the first time!

    Here's hoping we get a screening with the interview of Fede and Ridley.

    Yeah they had the interview for my showing - was a very nice addition to hear Ridley's insight on the movie.

    Incredible getting to see this on the big screen again. Just, perfect. I don't think I'll ever skip an opportunity to see the film this way. My God, the sound design alone...

    Also, I did get the Q&A, and it ends on such a funny moment as Fede asks Ridley if he has anything else to add before the film starts, and Ridley just responds: "No." :laugh:

    Quote from: Xenomrph on Apr 27, 2024, 03:22:57 AMJust got back from seeing the movie with my dad. It had the Fede/Ridley interview. Nothing particularly groundbreaking about Alien or Romulus, but still kinda neat.

    Did it include behind the scenes footage as well? Or just Ridley and Fede talking?

    Just booked myself into James Camerons "challenging the Deep" exhibition followed by a showing of the special edition of Aliens  8)

    Not often us Western Australia residents get something cool! ( and it's at the Museum theatre)

    The wife remains to be convinced  :laugh:

    Really nervous about all these reports of screenings without the interview, given that a core part of the marketing for the rerelease was built around that. :-\ Hope it's straightened out for my showing today.

    And hopefully it makes its way online very soon.

    Just got back from seeing the movie with my dad. It had the Fede/Ridley interview. Nothing particularly groundbreaking about Alien or Romulus, but still kinda neat.

    Turns out my dad had never seen Alien. He thought he had, but it was entirely cultural osmosis (he knew what facehuggers and chestbursters were) or bits and pieces of other Alien movies. In the end he thought it was "f**king scary". He was also convinced that Jones was going to end up being an Alien somehow.

    Sadly the Romulus preview didn't happen. Got an explanation from the cinema too stating server technical issues (they couldn't download in time).

    Didn't ruin a glorious night though - seeing Alien in 4K on an IMAX screen is a must (if you can). Looked absolutely glorious. So many little things I've not noticed before (and I've seen this film countless times over the past 40 years). Magical.
  10. Nightmare Asylum
    Well crap. A friend of mine saw it today at the same theater chain I'm going to tomorrow (different location though) and they didn't play the Ridley/Fede chat for him. Gonna be really bummed if they don't for me...

    Anyone seen any theater exclusives for regal or AMC theaters?   I tried one regal theater earlier but they had nothing. I remember they had litho prints exclusives for the first weekend of alien covenant years back.

    Quote from: CANNON on Apr 23, 2024, 02:01:39 AMVery very excited for this! Does anyone know if there will be a trailer or any promo for Romulus prior to the 45th anniversary showing of Alien?

    Two separate Australian theatres have now claimed there will be a "sneek peek" from Romulus included in the 45th anniversary screenings.

    Not sure if this includes all other territories as well or not.

    All we know for sure is that two clips from the film were shown at CinemaCon, so we know they have clips ready for public viewing.
  13. Nightmare Asylum
    If there is a clip, I'm guessing it'll be introduced by Scott & Alvarez within their back and forth discussion, rather than something that rolls separately from that.

    Though a part of me still wonders if perhaps that discussion might just be what some theaters are referring to when they cite a preview of Romulus.

    Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Apr 16, 2024, 03:28:13 PMI'm a little hazy now as to whether there will be a Romulus clip, or if this conversation between Ridley and Fede is what was being cited as a clip previously.

    I would love to get a clip, of course, but I'd also be more than ok with it if it's just the conversation.

    The Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace makes it sound like a clip from the actual film. We know two seperate clips were shown at CinemaCon 2024, so we know they have the material available and ready.

    Another theatre that claims a clip from Romulus will be shown:
