Interested to see if they make a slight change to the appearance of the Xeno. Plus, I hope they don't go cheap on it (xeno).

Any news on the effects team ?

They didn't go cheap on it. We're in for a treat.

Not sure how much you know/can say, but is it safe to assume that the Alien(s) in Romulus and the Alien(s) in Hawley's show have both been designed from scratch separately and won't be identical to one another?

I know Weta's on the show (no word if they're on Romulus or not), and a Dane Hallett Instagram post seemed to confirm that he was working on an Alien project that wasn't Hawley's show (so Romulus, I assume).

EDIT: I think it's also safe to say that, based on his recent Instagram story, Carlos Huante isn't on either of the upcoming projects.

We know who the team is, just can't say at the moment. News of that will probably surface on its own before long.

That's a good assumption.

Excellent. One of my biggest fears about having two different projects simultaneously in production was having assets arbitrarily shared across different productions even when it doesn't really make sense to do so (something I've noticed a LOT of in recent Star Wars productions, with so many shows running concurrent to one another). Like AVP reusing the Resurrection Aliens despite them being designed in such a specific way where they really only make sense as a take on the creature within the context of Resurrection's narrative.

At least... I'd be shocked if that were the case. That's one of the reasons ADI was brought on AVP over SWS was because of the cost cutting measures of using the same assets that ADI had access to from A3 and AR. If a different effects studio were to use the assets of another without some agreement, the creators of the original assets would have a big problem with that, and it wouldn't be cost effective. The design concept art for the Xenos from Romulus to the series has been totally different as far as we know.

I'm really excited to actually see the final designs WETA and Romulus' team come up with. I really can't wait for this film's effects team to be announced. It's going to please a lot of folk.

This is something I'm certain on.

As a lifelong fan, some upcoming news should make a lot of people happy. But then, with the anger about everything these days, you can't make everyone happy. So who knows.

It's so hard not being able to share or show anything. The news can't come out fast enough.

Well we already know Weta is doing the series, and they're the only one I'm liable to whinge about, so I'll probably be pleasantly surprised with any other developments.

Please let Big Chap return. Just please please.

Why do that when you can reinvent the wheel yet again?
