With less than 3 months to go until Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus hits the big screens, the publicity continues to drip feed and tantalize us! Talking to Total Film for their upcoming issue, Fede Alvarez reiterated to the outlet about the emphasize on practical elements and working with both Alien director Sir Ridley Scott, and consulting with Aliens writer/director James Cameron on Alien: Romulus’ script.
Scott is a credited producer on the film and was instrumental in helping the Evil Dead helmer Álvarez land the gig. Meanwhile, Cameron helped consult on the script during an “extensive” phone call with Álvarez and Alien: Romulus co-writer Rodo Sayagues where they discussed details as granular as the size of the engines on the film’s ships.
“At the end of the phone call, he thanked us for letting him brainstorm with us, which I found hilarious,” Álvarez recalls. “I was like, ‘You don’t have to thank us; it’s the best day ever for us!'”
The article also included a brand new publicity still showing Cailee Spaeny’s character Rain giving off some strong Alien: Isolation vibes, wielding what looks to be an improvised weapon of some sort.
Alvarez also discussed how the upcoming film compares to the original two films, stating that:
Álvarez is clear that the film will pay homage to its point in the Alien timeline too. “The environments, and the pace of it as well – it’s more similar to Alien for quite a bit,” he adds. “And then gradually – you won’t even know – you feel like it’s more Aliens. It’s a natural progression, and it happens effortlessly.”
The next issue of Total Film is due to hit the shelves on the 23rd of May and will apparently include a larger feature on Alien: Romulus. Thanks to Nightmare Asylum the news.

Nope frankly; that's still The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the writer for which worked on Dark Fate and I suspect anything good in it's chalked up to his contributions.
That film had a serious bloat of writers in general.
Dark Fate had some good and interesting ideas, but still overall fell flat imo.
From what I remember, I think Genisys did more of a multiverse thing. I'm hazy on the specifics of that, though. Only saw the movie once and did not like it at all.
From this guy as well:

Yeah something like that. The closest thing we got was in Resurrection with Gediman punishing an alien in his cage, and he seemed to hate it. I would like to see it against facehuggers or a grown and roaming free xenomorph.
I particularly enjoyed it being Cameron's idea to kill off John Conner at the start of the movie, after spending years bitching about how Alien 3 killed off Hicks and Newt at the beginning of the movie and how it was "disrespectful to the fans".
Yeah, it doesn't have a pilot light like a flamethrower should have.
You mean liquid nitrogen? So that she would use it to freeze the facehuggers or aliens without risk of hull breach or fire?
I'd consult him blindly about weapons design.
Almost wondering if there's a chance that cannister might be loaded with some CN-20...
(Rain better strap on a gas mask if so!)
