Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus (Working Title) to Start Principal Photography in Feburary 2023!

I forget, was anything formally announced when Prey started shooting? I wasn't following that one nearly as closely as I am Romulus, but I seem to recall most information regarding production crew, additional casting, etc. spilling out on Instagram over the course of the shoot.

I think we might have known Amber Midthunder and that's about it when production started, which is about on par with this. Cailee Spaeny's name was officially in the trades a couple months back.

Only time will really tell, of course, but it seems like these Hulu originals do shoot a bit under the radar, at least in comparison to other films coming from 20th Century Studios that are aiming for a wider, theatrical release.

Such a shame Alien and Predator going straight to Hulu they deserve theatrical

No, we didn't really get anything to announce shooting. It was a very quiet production, and I was expecting the same for Romulus. Seems like the Hulu productions just aren't going to make as much noise for us all to discuss.

As long as they're as good as Prey was, I don't mind as much. I'd prefer they get up on the big screen, but as long as they're quality in the end, that's fine by me.

Yeah, lots of movies film without announcement or set photos.

A different country and culture, but the new Japanese Godzilla movie has been in post production for a while now, with a release in November of this year. Not a set photo or leak has been revealed officially. There's some rumblings and rumors, but everything is tight lipped.

That's the best way to do it in my opinion. Makes the actual viewing of the film more rewarding when you don't know the plot, designs or what's coming. Kinda like how it used to be before the internet days. Though speculating on all the bits we get is always fun too.

Does that mean Disney+ will get them as ?

They have a section called Star which has all their R rated material. None of the movies are censored.

Do you think the movie is actually shooting now?

Found an audition for Romulus on Vimeo, spoilers ahead:
https://vimeo.com/798636064

The audition is for Bjorn, it also reveals characters Rain (gender unclear) who considers an android named Andy their brother, because Andy belonged to Rains father. Bjorn doesnt buy Andys personhood and connection to Rain, calling Andy "WY damaged goods your dad used to own". Bjorns dad is also dying from a disease "everyone is dying" from and some hailstorm is related to that but I dont fully understand whats being said. Gonna leave the rest to you.

[Nightmare Asylum]

If this tracks, then it seems like the characters will be a salvage team poking around an abandoned ship.

Funny it actually sounds similar to the Noah Hawley stuff, an adopted synthetic sibling.
