Alien Romulus connections to other Alien media?

Dial it back several notches.

For a long time, I've had this mental image of a man trapped on a deserted ship with an Alien with only thing separating them being a thick door. Slowly driven to madness by hunger, thirst, loneliness and memories of his past he starts to see it as a friend,  to talk with it and to think that he should really open that door ...

I think there is a comic that does something similar. Survival, maybe? But I'd be all onboard with this being a feature too.

I don't think there's necessarily enough there for a full feature, but I think it would make a good episode of TV. 45 minutes of story I think would work, but there may not be enough material for 90-120.

I dunno..I guess it could work if it opened with the guy talking through the door, and then the movie is told as his story so we see what happened, and the reveal that it's the alien on the other side of the door comes at the end after the story concludes 😊

For 90 minutes?

Great short idea.

How long was Alien: Alone (the Tongal short)? 12 - 15 minutes? Like Eighth Passenger said, this is a similar idea; it would probably stand a similar length.

Kradan, you should write it up as a one act play and send it to that school that did the stage version of Alien. A simple set, one actor, monologue, 12 minutes.
