As Muthur’s countdown continues until the release of Alien: Romulus on August 16th, the wheels of the publicity machine continue to turn! In a new article posted by Empire, Fede Alvarez talked about the challenge of making a film that felt both Alien and Aliens.
“To ask an Alien fan to choose between them is a perverse question. So I thought, ‘How do I do both?’” Get ready, then, for a film that aims to conjure the slow-build scares of Alien with the oh-god-they’re-everywhere assault of Aliens, set at a point between the events of those original two movies. That even extends to the film’s look – with the galactic Renaissance Station split into two sections, the Alien-esque Remus, and the more advanced Aliens-alike Romulus. “There’s a moment where the characters are walking around areas familiar from the Nostromo,” says Álvarez. “Then they cross through that building and on the other side: boom! You’re in a hallway that looks like Hadley’s Hope [from Aliens].”
Alongside a brand-new publicity still featuring Cailee Spaeny’s Rain and her synthetic brother, David Jonsson’s Andy, Fede also spoke more about the background between the characters.
“When her father was dying, he left Andy to be a kind of caretaker,” explains Álvarez of the pair’s dynamic. “But Andy is a bit damaged and he’s an older model. So more than a surrogate father, he becomes a younger brother to her. And that was always the heart of the story: this relationship between the two… and how that relationship unfolds once shit hits the fan.”

What?
What was "the franchise supposed to be"?
Remember if you copy and paste your response twice, it makes for a stronger argument.
The script that the studio agreed to had the Alien defeated by Roby/Ripley. You're imagining a franchise that never existed.
Scott mentioned elsewhere they had some "vodka martinis" while brainstorming this as they usually did. I don't think he was roaring drunk. This kind of thing is par the course for Ridley whether sober or tipsy. He's like a machine that just churns out ideas at an alarming rate.
But in the end Ridley always wins and in the end he got his dark ending in Covenant as well as his "martian".
I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
Do you really think the dark ending of the original Alien was Scott's drunken idea? Then why did Scott talk about that dark ending during a phone call with a Fox executive? The Fox executives forced Scott to change the ending, and told Scott they would fire him if he refused to change it.
You guys' minds are bound by human-centrism. Cameron's portrayal of Ripley has led you guys to believe that the franchise can't be separated from Ripley. You guys are forgetting what the franchise was supposed to be.

Movie Fox not Disney. Production 100% Fox.

The first omen is movie Fox very R.Disney and Fox delegates in director in movie and fight with MPAA.
Disney creative liberty to Fox in polemic scene sexual in First Omen and Fox delege/supports directora.
Fede says it, Romulus is a movie of autor not film studio and less Disney.
Disney delegates to Fox.
IN MOVIES ALIEN is normal than the protagonist who is always a woman survives.
And survive NEXT TO a robot ( or nearly ).
Shaw and David8 in end Prometheus
Katherine Waterston and David8 in end Covenant
Ripley and Bishop in end Aliens
It's not because she is a woman or he is Black.
It's because she's the PROTAGONIST and THE a ROBOT ( becose Narratively that relationship is always attractive).
i must say i loved Res too. I wish we could have gotten a sequel continuing Ripley 8's story.
It gave me that vibe from the outset. Nothing so far has changed that.
It does tbh, and I'm 200% on board for that aspect of it coz I love Rez to bits.
A youtube grifter told him to be mad about it.
By people you mean misogynistic men?
Women have the right to be great in anything. Evolve dude. And if a movie is good..WHO CARES?! I couldn't care less if a great old movie had a male protagonist and a current solid installment had a female lead. So what? You think I believe in stupid conspiracies and agendas to destroy bigots?
I know right? Society was better off when synths were only considered three fifths of a person.
lol. That ending had everything to do with Riddles being half-cut when he suggested it and everyone realising it was shite when he sobered up, and little to do with "Cthulhu".
That said, I'm avoiding most stuff about Romulus to dodge spoilers but old mate is doing little to dispel the notion this is a big budget fan film.
The franchise shows a hostile universe whose doesn't see anyone differently based on their skin color, gender, ideology, etc. The xenomorphs will treat everyone equally.
Cailee Spaeny has said that while her portrayal of Raines resembles Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in temperament, the character she plays will never be the same as Ripley.
Fede Alvarez has said that the later of the new movie will have theatergoers collapsing, cheering and screaming.

Sorry, you were saying something about alien 3 and people loving it.
Please, do continue and spread the good word.
Spoiler
Most likely this is what Noah Hawley is doing with his series.
