Well, that's good to hear.
!!!!!!!!!!! YES
I gotta see this in theaters! I love the film!
Yes!! Cineworld is listing Alien... AND Aliens :o omg
Hurry up and put the tickets out now you cowards. Let me buy a ticket!

I got too excited and posted this without throughly reading... that was a 2023 listing. Apologies!
Alien Romulus is listed at my theater, but currently is NR (Not Rated) lol.
In 2017 when they showed Alien in theaters for Alien Day they showed a clip from Covenant since it was coming out that year. Maybe they'll do the same for Romulus as well
Will this be just the US or generally worldwide?
Is it going to be a Fathom event for AMC?
I'm betting they'll have some new ROMULUS footage to screen with this event. Otherwise I don't think we'll get a full trailer until June or July.
I would like to have something like that in France.

Aye, would love if they handed them out at the theater. They do that sometimes over here...
Also, hurry up and put the tickets for sale so I can buy mine!
I so want to see it in theaters, but alas no theater near me is playing it. :(

Probably quite likely! If that's the case, hopefully we'll see some re-release worldwide too.

Just for clarification, this is worldwide? Not just for the Aussie anniversary screenings?
I guess we're getting the extended Romulus clip for Alien day then?
Would be a bad idea to release it in cinemas exclusively, otherwise you end up with dozens of iffy phone recorded bootlegs on the internet.
So I perhaps have been looking in the wrong places but were there select places that held screenings for Alien³ for it's 30th anniversary back in 2022, I'm aware that the film and Alien4Resurrection weren't as as popular as Alien and AlienS so that may have affected that decision, also seeing how stingy Disney can be because they supposedly denied permission for a certain cinema to show Alien.
I remember the director Stephen Hopkins in an interview with AVP Galaxy said there was consideration to have a 30th anniversary showing of Predator 2 but cancelled when unsatisfied with The Predator 2018 reception, 😑 that really grinds my gears.
Perhaps IF they decide to give the upcoming Prey's sequel and BadLands the theatrical treatment they may give Predator2 a much needed re-release, I would absolutely love a marathon cinema extravaganza of these movies, even when the instalments are a mixed bag I love the Alien and Predator Legacy. 😊

Depending on where you live there are usually independent theater chains and revival houses that will be granted the license to screen certain films. Here in Los Angeles they screen the various ALIEN sequels every few years or so. There was a big marathon planned by a company called Nostalgic Nebula to screen the original four films on Memorial Day weekend but Disney pulled the license when they announced the re-release of ALIEN for April 26th. Kevin Smith mentioned that Warner Bros. had done the same for the early BATMAN films around the time of the THE FLASH being released in theaters.
I'm in Florida. It hasn't shown up yet at my local Regal Cinema, though it is showing on Fandango.
I keep checking for screenings at AMC here (Texas).
I see a listing online but no option to get a ticket yet.
Rhode Island here. It's on my theater's coming soon page with an April 26th release date, but no showtimes listed or tickets for sale yet.
Come to think, I have never actually seen "Alien" on the big screen. It was, first some VCR tape, then a DVD and later blu-ray. But never on a proper theater screen. I would like to experience the "cinematic" Alien on the biggest screen available...
I know this is not related to this post, but they showed some new footage at CinemaCon for Alien Romulus, like below:
https://screenrant.com/alien-romulus-movie-cinemacon-footage-description/
I'm waiting for showtimes to open up at my preferred theatre chain (Harkins), they list 'Alien' as coming for Alien Day but haven't offered any ticket sales yet.
In the meantime my dad and I got tickets to see 'The Mummy' on the 27th.

The only way to see it.
I first saw it on a sh*tty, full-screen VHS tape in late 1983. I didn't mind, though. I was so caught up in the storytelling to notice that
50% of the image was missing. Lol.

QuotePrior to the feature, there will be a special look at Alien: Romulus featuring a discussion with Alien director Ridley Scott and Alien: Romulus director Fede Alvarez.
Looks like tickets go on sale tomorrow, according to my theater's app.
Seems they are not showing this in Estonia, bummer. They did back in 2017 though.
A theatre near me is running a double bill of the first two movies.
I'll get to a screening one day. One day...
I hope my AMC doesn't put this on a small screen.
Went to go see the rerelease of Jurassic Park last year and it was on the smallest possible screen they had, not much bigger than my decent sized tv at home. Didn't even feel worth it. Especially compared to seeing Jaws rereleased in IMAX before that, which was awesome.

Showtimes are listed for me now, but my theater won't let me actually pull the trigger and order yet. Refreshing like a madman.
Don't think I'll be able to go right on 4/26, but definitely grabbing a ticket for Saturday the 27th once the theater allows me to do so.

Nice find!
Can't wait to see the full version of that chat that's going to play after the movie on the big screen. 8)
Ticket secured! ;D
Letttt me buy mineeeee!
I just got mine at a dine-in theater. Gonna have dinner, watch the Alien Romulus clip and the original classic on the big screen. This is gonna be fun!
You're lucky 8)
This is a great prelude before seeing Romulus. Of course, whatever clip they will show for Romulus will be very welcomed.
I'm a little hazy now as to whether there will be a Romulus clip, or if this conversation between Ridley and Fede is what was being cited as a clip previously.
I would love to get a clip, of course, but I'd also be more than ok with it if it's just the conversation.
EDIT: Ticket acquired. 8)
Fox have released a new trailer about it as well as a Ridley Scott intro:
Getting my tickets tomorrow for 4/26 at 5:00PM.
Got mine yesterday ;D
Cant believe the UK seems to be missing out here. We had Alien/Aliens double bill last year for Alien day. But in the year a new film is coming... nothing.
Hot take: Alien's chestbursting scene is the only cruel chestbursting scene in the whole franchise. It's cruel, rude and painful.
I hope Romul will bring back such a view.

What do you mean ?
Alien 3 has a freaking dog.
I was thinking the dog scene is actually quite painful, I'm curious to know what he meant in more detail.
Chesbusters Xenomorphs from dogs, wolfs, gorilla, bear, corcoran highland goats ... maybe Space Jockey Xenomorph. Weyland - Yutani Commando Androids, Archie play strong character :)
Yeah that dogburst always got me. After the film came out, little kid me had nightmares that our family dog had a chestburster in him.
Covenant's Neomorph bursting scenes are pretty visceral and cruel, too.
Always will prefer the Ox myself, like the image of Newt screaming trapped in the cryotube, it takes the thing into gratuitous territory for me honestly.
I do not see this new screening happening anywhere in the United Kingdom please correct me if otherwise.
Not overly upset though, saw Alien on the fortieth and Alien and Aliens as a double feature only last year.
I saw nothing on the big screen except for the prequels :'(
I only saw Covenant and quite happy about it
On the topic of Ox vs Dog: I'm really torn here. On one hand Ox scene is part of Assembly Cut and I love everything about Assembly Cut. It also feels like more thought went into filming that scene as opposed to the Dog one which feels pretty hastily put together (which it probably was).
On the other hand, seeing Runner come out of a living dog feels more emotionally impactful than from a big cow's corpse. Also it seems more logical that something so ferocious as Runner would come out of a predatory creature rather than a relatively peaceful one

Aliens on Halloween last year with attendance and an interview from Noah Howley.

I agree, I like the assembly cut more all around, but much prefer the dog for impact.
There's a particular minor editing difference in the theatrical cut that I prefer.
In the ox version we get a shot of a digital looking bambi burster stumbling and running down the corrider.
In the dog version we get a simple shot of the camera pulling away from the dog's body, while only hearing the bambi scurry off.
It's simpler but I've definitely always found the dog version here to be more eerie and impactful, personally.
I missed a screening of Alien³ Assembly Cut in Belfast last year as well, that one, I am actually pretty gutted about.
Mind you, Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out in 1974. It was pretty graphic for that time. Stars Wars comes out in 1977, which is the big space opera and popularized space again. So, Alien comes in 1979 which is everyone's space nightmare. For that time in film, it was original and well, graphic compared to today's standards when it comes to film making.
It's too bad that I'm working on 26th >:(
Not sure about other places, but the AMC that's showing it near me seems to have screenings listed for a good amount of days after as well. Up until May 1st from the looks of it.
So you may want to check and see if it's not just one day only!

I was going to say this, TCM was filmed for a PG rating (no, seriously). There's very little blood or on-screen violence, no sex or nudity, and no profanity.
Tobe Hooper just learned the hard way that showing less and implying things makes the movie 10x scarier and he earned himself an R-rating. see also: Jaws, where serendipitously the mechanical shark didn't work so Spielberg had to imply everything and it ended up making it more effective.
For that matter, see also: 'Alien', where Ridley Scott recognized that the Alien suit was a bit questionable if you saw it full on, so you don't get a good look at it until the end.

The film does have some really nasty moments in it - there's the tail whip that rips a character's jaw right off their face/head! And the shower deaths.

Quint's death was more graphic than anything seen in
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).
And they only got away with it by successfully arguing that since the violence was perpetrated by a shark, it's not like kids could go out and copy it.

Yes.
Although, Spielberg, still had to shave (more than) a few frames off the severed-leg footage (estuary attack). Probably for the best, as the leg does look phoney.

Rosey's head floating in a sink. Twice.
Nothing is scarier.
Nothing is really scary anymore, rather.
Spielberg and Lucas complained to Fox in '79 about the brutality of Alien and that it would destroy everything they had built with Close Encounter and Star Wars. :)
If true, that makes me like both of them a bit less >:(
it's in the background notes of David Rinzler's Alien The Making of Book.
I'm not really surprised by Lucas's reaction, but Spielberg also had a relatively brutal film with Jaws, as has already been mentioned here.
OK, those were just their first reactions to it.
I even think I read statements from interviews or saw them on TV where both praised the film several years later.
Funnily enough, according to Rinzler's reports, Spielberg had also read the script for Alien and told those in charge that it would be stupid to miss the chance to make the film.
So it contradicts itself a bit
That gut reaction from Spielberg & Lucas isn't entirely shocking, given the way they've since distanced themselves from their own portrayal of brutality in Temple of Doom, dismissing their own film as the product of a time when they were both in dark places (going through divorces).
Anyways, Temple of Doom rocks.
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Apr 18, 2024, 02:23:13 PMAnyways, Temple of Doom rocks.
For me it's the weakest of the films (excepting
Dial, which I will probably never see).
Yep, even behind
Crystal Skull.
I genuinely really dig Crystal Skull (I'm also a Star Wars prequel enjoyer, so I guess 2000s-era Lucas just does it for me; I miss having his voice in cinema and I really hope that he is making those indie films that he always talked about to screen for his friends).
Dial of Destiny's biggest problem, in my opinion, is that the directing is never really as kinetic or lively as Spielberg's. Not to knock Mangold, I'm a fan of him in general, but Spielberg's absence is noticeable. Ford gives one hell of a performance, though, and that movie is really his baby at the end of the day. I enjoyed it on first viewing; haven't seen it since but I'm sure I will end up watching it again down the line.
If Raiders is the ultimate throwback to the pulp serials that inspired Lucas (and potentially my favorite Spielberg movie, full stop), then Temple of Doom just straight up is one of those serials brought to life in the (then) modern day (problematic representational elements included, unfortunately). It has a lot of appeal to it as this rip-roaring adventure that's just always on the move, and also doubles as a pretty horrifying 80s fantasy movie. There's so much to love there, even though it isn't quite the masterpiece that is Raiders. It was my favorite Indy movie as a kid, and I'll never second guess myself as to why that was the case - there's a crazy mine cart chase, lots of gross bugs, and a dude gets his heart ripped out, for crying out loud!
I'll have to see it with my friend and maybe a family member. Been years (since Prometheus, actually) since I've seen an Alien film in theaters. Last film connected to either franchise I saw was Prey on TV.
Watch Covenant.
COME ON !

The Giger estate is sleeping this one off.
None of the cinemas in my area are doing anything for Alien Day.
F**king sucks.
4 more days!
France always had such reverence and admiration for Scott and his work on Alien, I thought they could do something, but nah.
The UK usually show Alien pretty much every year. It's quite bizarre.
Alien never screens at any nearby cinemas, and with travel restrictions, catching it on the big screen seems impossible. The last time it played at a cinema just four miles away, I missed it.

Why are people suddenly unable to spell "sneak peek"?
'strayan's mate. ::)
If there is a clip, I'm guessing it'll be introduced by Scott & Alvarez within their back and forth discussion, rather than something that rolls separately from that.
Though a part of me still wonders if perhaps that discussion might just be what some theaters are referring to when they cite a preview of Romulus.

Not sure if this includes all other territories as well or not.
All we know for sure is that two clips from the film were shown at CinemaCon, so we know they have clips ready for public viewing.

Anyone seen any theater exclusives for regal or AMC theaters? I tried one regal theater earlier but they had nothing. I remember they had litho prints exclusives for the first weekend of alien covenant years back.
Well crap. A friend of mine saw it today at the same theater chain I'm going to tomorrow (different location though) and they didn't play the Ridley/Fede chat for him. Gonna be really bummed if they don't for me...
Sadly the Romulus preview didn't happen. Got an explanation from the cinema too stating server technical issues (they couldn't download in time).
Didn't ruin a glorious night though - seeing Alien in 4K on an IMAX screen is a must (if you can). Looked absolutely glorious. So many little things I've not noticed before (and I've seen this film countless times over the past 40 years). Magical.
Just came out of Regal and no interview or clips.
Really, really hope the interview is fixed/working for me tomorrow...
They better put it online afterwards, too.
Just got back from seeing the movie with my dad. It had the Fede/Ridley interview. Nothing particularly groundbreaking about Alien or Romulus, but still kinda neat.
Turns out my dad had never seen Alien. He thought he had, but it was entirely cultural osmosis (he knew what facehuggers and chestbursters were) or bits and pieces of other Alien movies. In the end he thought it was "f**king scary". He was also convinced that Jones was going to end up being an Alien somehow.
A cat Alien, that would be fun !
Posted my response to seeing it yesterday by mistake under Happy ALIEN Day. ::)
Loved it. Sadly there was no Ridley/Fede interview just the preview of Romulus.
Really nervous about all these reports of screenings without the interview, given that a core part of the marketing for the rerelease was built around that. :-\ Hope it's straightened out for my showing today.
And hopefully it makes its way online very soon.

Sold out cinema for me here in Adelaide. A great mix of seniors, middle-aged (me) and lots of millennials. First time in a long time the audience applauded during the credits at the end of the film.
Glad to hear it did well! The re-issue have never been busy for me that I can remember.
Incredible getting to see this on the big screen again. Just, perfect. I don't think I'll ever skip an opportunity to see the film this way. My God, the sound design alone...
Also, I did get the Q&A, and it ends on such a funny moment as Fede asks Ridley if he has anything else to add before the film starts, and Ridley just responds: "No." :laugh:

That is truly awesome! Applause at the end. 8)
WOW! I can't think of the last time that's happened.
What an absolute privilege seeing this extraordinary film in the theater!
Hope Aliens is next!

40th anniversary is only two years away, so here's hoping!
Would be cool if this exists and they release this version.
I was able to get a group of 20 friends and co-workers to see the last screening at an AMC on May 1st for my very late birthday celebration ;D So far, we're the only people in the theater for that showing. There's a handful of people in my group who have never seen it either!
I got to see the director's cut for the 40th anniversary in a theater, but I'm positively thrilled to finally see the original theatrical release in theaters for the first time!
Here's hoping we get a screening with the interview of Fede and Ridley.

Why didn't you tape the bloody thing for us man? :P
Really hoping it goes online. The people deserve to see it.

Yeah they had the interview for my showing - was a very nice addition to hear Ridley's insight on the movie.
Would be neat if, while they filmed that, they flipped around and also had Ridley interview Fede about Romulus, to be released at a later date.

You really shouldn't use his videos, you are only enabling him. For clarifications, he is a plagiarist that steals from wikis and even the timeline site if I recall correctly.
