Earlier this week Total Film shared a brand new publicity still and a snippet of an interview with Alien: Romulus writer and director Fede Alvarez. That article is now out, and the team over at Perfect Organism have shared a copy of the article in its entirety.
In it he reiterates some of what we’ve heard previously about the practical effects and working with Sir Ridley Scott and James Cameron, but he also talks a little about his goals for Alien: Romulus and the reaction he wants from the audience.
Despite promising ‘connections’ to the wider series, and with a now dense mythology to draw from, Alvarez claims that Romulus, first and foremost, aims to fright and delight. ‘You want to give something to the audience so that while they’re experiencing it in the theatre, they go, “Fuck, I’ve never seen this in a movie before, and it’s fucking shocking, and scary and delicious, all at the same time.”‘

We literally have a teaser trailer (two versions of it, at that!) and have been getting consistent production stills/articles/interviews/etc. over the last few weeks. There's no behind the scenes trouble going on that would cause a delay in marketing, we just haven't gotten a feature length trailer yet because Disney/20th Century Studios hasn't yet reached that point in their pre-release gameplan. I'm sure that'll be coming very, very soon, and then shortly after the release of that full trailer, marketing materials will roll out in such quick succession that we'll all wish they'd stop because they're showing off way too much.
Well, then happy Pride month to me!

What's Fox and Fede up to?
Will do.
I knew how old she was. She has a slightly youthful face, but its her height that makes her look younger imo. She is a vertically challenged oompa loompa, and when God squished her down he blessed her with DONKEY.
These are the age group that actively hit on me now(that is the spaeny age group), so I don't think about it really.
Let me get this straight, Cailee looks like a twelve year old but has a nice ass? Wtf guys
The film was probably more coherent before all of the reshoots and whatnot, but overall I think a lot of its major problems do fall on Black and Fred Dekker as well, in addition to the higher ups at Fox.
The AVPs and The Predator might not have killed the franchise, but they do keep me up at night...
Halloween Ends rocks. Most interesting slasher sequel in... decades, probably.
But no franchise has probably suffered more "killers" than Halloween. Although I did love Ends even though that seems most hated.
But I don't think I found it as bad as the ones I mentioned.
It's a matter of taste and I don't assume the commercial success of the films mentioned. The list of my hate films is long (that's certainly the case for everyone) and would probably go beyond the scope.
Maybe even too much for a own thread, maybe there is already, I don't know.
Admittedly, franchise killer may be the wrong word...
For me, it's the films that I completely ignore. If there are more films from a brand that are better, then I'll be on board again.
And even then, Terminator has an anime series coming to Netflix this year.
Supposed "franchise killers" very rarely keep a franchise dead for long (unless said "franchise killer" is the Friday the 13th shareholders, I guess).
I can't deny that.
I went to see it at the cinema and was entertained but aside from a crush on Bryce Dallas Howard I didn't really retain any of it.
Someone had to say it.
She's got a nice dump truck tho.
Credit where credit is due, though, there's some really great Stan Winston animatronics in that movie.
Thank you! I felt like I was going crazy for years seeing everyone hate salvation.
I liked dark fate quite a lot but I absolutely agree with the criticism it gets regarding what it did.
Salvation is a film I think that could been something great. It didn't try to rehash the time travel angle and focused on the future but I think it just executed it wrong. Still fairly enjoyable but I think out of all the post T2 sequels, Dark fate may be something I would rewatch more.
Genisys had some moments but it was too goofy and they butchered the portrayal of Kyle Reese.
He supported it because he was supporting his old pal Arnold, mostly.
James Cameron was very involved in the making of Dark Fate. He assembled the writer's room, helped break the overall story arc of the trilogy, brought on Tim Miller, etc. It was more or less the same sort of working environment as making Alita: Battle Angel, except that where Cameron and Robert Rogriguez worked together without issue, Cameron and Miller butt heads a lot during the production of Dark Fate and didn't quite see eye to eye, and both parties have been very vocal about that after the fact. I'd argue that anything Cameron ever said about Dark Fate, good or bad, he genuinely believes. He never minced words about the nature of working on that movie or the messiness of his collaboration with Miller, so I can't imagine why he'd mince words about the end result, either.
With Terminator: Genisys, on the other hand... it seems like anything nice that he had said about that one ("I start to see things I recognize...") was more just a fluff piece favor born out of his friendship with David Ellison (head of Skydance). Dark Fate was more or less a direct response to his actual disappointment with what Genisys and the other sequels had done, allowing Cameron and his team to sort of "take back" and reorient the franchise as they best saw fit at the time, while still leaving it under Ellison's roof.
