following the success of lost prometheus was diliberately dumbed down by damon lindeloff at the behest of fox. they used it to milk the expectancy of an alien prequel directed by scott and knew that the dissapointment would set up more expectancy for the sequal which turned into       "same old same old"  and when scott was asked by our own corporal hicks why he returned to the alien in covenant after stating that the beast cooked... i cant exactly remember what he answered. i know fassbender was there as well.

fox made scott go back to the tried and tested and they will do the same here and add young adult to the mix because that will be profitable. in the current "cut and run " economy "for a quick buck" that will kill not only  what people who knows the franchise wants but will make it virtually impossable for any kind of success form a director like trachtenburg to follow so that he can lay no claim to any kind success which which follows. look what happened to the thomas brothers in predator. fox/disney had to destroy any kind of claim that could be laid by them so that they could cut up smaller companies to sell it off to as it become no longer viable in the current economy. if fox was profitable they would not have sold it off to disney. therefore they have to cut any possibility of claims to the ip completely down to the ground. thats why you will see woke bullshit all over the place to make people afraid of speaking out against unfair downsizing in the movie industry so that they make people afraid of speaking out agianst it. they will make movies for sure if it is profitable. but it cant be profitable if too many people knows who actually made the ip what it was . and the possibility of possible NO PROFIT scenarious rearing its ugly head in the furure.

so when voodoo magic spoke out about :

"

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE ALIEN FRANCHISE GETS A COURT CASE THAT COULD KILL ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT IN A FRANCHISE FOR THE FORESEEABLR FUTURE

"

no one really were as upset as he was .

i also didnt agree with what he said on certain things

BUT

he had undeniable passion for the the predator franchise.

if i was on a forum where i was an alien fan and no one was really upset about what was done to killing off the franchise so god knows what for then i would also leave because i wasnt able to find a kindred spirit.

just sayin.

people who caused a website to be closed down because they cant agree with a director on how a movie was made shouldnt be judging other opinion when they fear the same thing happening to their franchise and website.

thats rich. i also just want to have a discussion. when it matters to me.

I'm not opposed to young actors. Amber Midthunder was great in Prey; and in the context of the film it made sense and it worked. But with this new Alien film, however, I'm getting "trending" vibes and I feel like I've seen the film already after looking at the young cast. Of course, you gotta be civil and wait and see, but I can't help but roll my eyes a bit.

I hate that I feel this, I am one thousand percent more interested in what Noah Hawley does, even if it is to the chagrin of traditionalist fans.

Yeah, same. I think Noah Hawley has opportunity to go down different avenues and for generally more originality. I wish him the best for it because I don't really have much faith in this film at the moment.

The Alien movies are run under Disney now. 

Disney isn't running these productions, no.

Twentieth Century Fox wasn't sold to Disney in 2019?  There might be divisions of studios still in name only, but Disney is going to chart the franchise for as long as they decide to keep it.  Kind of like Marvel running the EU.  It might be Marvel.  It is still Disney. 

I'll wait and see.  I can't agree with TomT because he likes Prometheus which already makes his taste suspect and his judgement flawed.

Prometheus is almost great sci-fi film that needed one extra pass on the script to fix dumb stuff and it was also extremely well made and acted. It's not some hot take in any way, in fact it's still the best film in the franchise since Aliens. My taste and judgement are perfectly fine, thank you.

It is a terrible dogshit film, with bad acting throughout most of the cast, and terrible editing with a nonsensical story based on pure nostalgia trip reflection whose sole purpose was to answer questions nobody gave AF about.  It is the second WORST movie over AVPR.  Just below Alien Resurrection.  It essentially killed the Alien part of the franchise for 7 years because the Prometheus part of the franchise was incapable of carrying anything on its own.  I don't kill people actually for liking terrible movies, but I can't trust you.  Your taste has been compromised.

Fox movies No Disney movies.

Disney productor Marvel in movies.

Alien Romulus is before Disney buy Fox.

20th Century picked up the project "purely on the strength of Fede's tone," division president FOX Steve Asbell said. "It was a really good story with a lot of characters you hadn't seen before"


Characters more young is proyect FEDE no DISNEY NO FOX.


he coincidentally pitched a version to Scott many years ago. The idea stayed implanted in Scott's brain until late last year, when he called Álvarez out of the blue and asked if he was still up for it. Alvarez didn't have to ask him twice.


Scott read proyecto Alien FEDE and after FOX green light but Fox or Disney  They did not ask for a young cast. That was the director's idea . That is why the president of Fox says that the cast is new and never seen in the saga.



Movies Hulo is different a premiere cinema.


Asbell, the president of Fox, who recently spoke to THR about the future of 20th Century Studios, said that by making the Alien project for Hulo, there would be no pressure to reduce potential jitters that could arise with considerations of a theatrical release. "It's not a movie that has to be everything to everyone with these gigantic budgets. They become authentically who they are. And this is closer to their genre roots."

[Kimarhi]

Bro, it doesn't matter what the idea was beforehand.  Disney owns Fox Studios now.  They have since march of 2019. 

It has been Disney owned for awhile now and the movie probably gets approved BECAUSE it has a young cast.  I don't care if it is under Fox Studios.  Fox Studios is owned by Disney.  The mouse house controls all. 

That said, I don't think the young cast is really a detriment in that they are going for a slasher style film, I suspect this whole take is Fed going for a Newt-like perspective on an outbreak.  As a kid, I always wondered how I would do in such a situation had I been like Newt, and I'm sure if I had that thought, somebody else that grew up with the franchise had that thought. 

I'm wait and see.  I have nothing against Alvarez and glad that Scott is not directing.  I wish he wasn't even producing.  Crazy old f**ker.

I think you need to be more emphatic with regards to your opinion about Prometheus. Most of us on here still haven't the foggiest whether you actually like or hate the bloody film.

Noted.  It is always good to educate the new generations.

People running Disney and its film department aren't making creative decisions in Alien movies.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Fox is being ran as its own company, making its own choices. Being owned by Disney hasn't changed how they do business. In all honesty, from what I've learned is that they end up having more creative freedom when it comes to these streaming films. So we might get something really special, especially for those who've wanted to go back to the roots of the franchise and the beast itself.

[RIP77]

YES KIMARHI but in hulo big autonomy of Fox.

President Fox dixit:

"It's not a movie that has to be everything to everyone with these gigantic budgets. They become authentically who they are. And this is closer to their genre roots."



Fede wanted a young cast before the Fox purchase. And Scott liked that and then Fox.

Disney and Fox do not order this casting, but it is Fede who wants a young one since years ago, as the president says, that was the project that he presented to Fox and now Disney gives it the green light but they are not teenagers (who actually have 25/30 some ) by Disney but FEDE.



New Alien is not all audience in Hulo. In Disney + or in premiere cinema with 200 budget   Disney keep a closer eye.

PREY  green light becose is premiere hulo. In cinema PG13 and  more more  comercial style Disney.


PREY is style Fox no Disney. And  Romulus is style Fox under Disney but is Fox .

In Hulo Pam and Tommy or Sex Pistols is Fox/FX no Disney. ARE adults series in Disney but NO Disney tone.



After  good or bad is posibble but better  movie in Hulo with Fox with more liberty and autonomy than premiere cinema  with Disney sending much more

In Hulo Disney delegates to Fox and is not interested in this franchise that comes from failing as happened with PREY. If they were interested, it would be released in the cinema, but since it doesn't give money, they don't want to.

That is an advantage for the creative freedom, the adult style of Fox and that is why they only let them premiere this cinema on HULO.

Romulus is officially a prequel or sequel?


Or it is not known too?

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

From Variety's version of this article. They are probably just misspeaking here, but obviously I don't know for sure, so I figured this was worth sharing:

The untitled project joins the prequel series, which first premiered in 2012, with "Prometheus," followed by "Alien: Covenant."

https://variety.com/2023/film/news/new-alien-movie-plot-synopsis-full-cast-1235542570/

Mmm... that's contrary to The Hollywood Reporter's original scoop:

Álvarez's take is being kept deep inside the studio's chest cavity, but sources describe it as unconnected to the previous movies.

That derelict ship may yet be the Covenant with all the good souls aboard.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Ended up moving that bit of speculation over to the catch-all thread – seemed like a better fit there – but aye, I'd really be all over the idea of the long-since-abandoned Covenant showing up on some random colony's doorstep at any point in the timeline.

Still, I'm not expecting any explicit, direct connections to the previous films like that. But... one can hope and speculate a bit during these early days!

The company that buys the other companies has the final say on the bought companies.  Maybe in straya country yall do things different, but in America, if you paid all that money to buy another company, you the buyer will have the final say.  Despite what corporate stooges might tell you about artistic freedom.  Now, they might be letting Fox studios run the movies the way they want to run them.  Seeing the very disney like cast I have my doubts, but even if they are, that is still because DISNEY LET THEM.  The final say for everything will be stamped by Disney.  I was part of a corporation that bought a dozen other corporations.  Those other corporations don't get to do what the f**k they want after the buyout.  They did what WE wanted.  Sometimes what we wanted aligned with what they did, sometimes it didn't.
