Alien: Romulus Catch-All Thread

[Mike’s Monsters]

I still personally feel like it is a bit early for them to show anything. But Sunday will come and we will find out then. Just remember to not get any hopes up, so that way if nothing comes to light, you won't be let down.

I think it's important to look back at previous years for context. Don't quote me on this but think we got two trailers/spots for august films at 2019's Super Bowl. So the precedent is definitely there.


Hoooowever... the huge caveat with this is the Covid of it all. 2019 was a completely different era for the film industry where everything was operating at its peak. Marketing windows for movies have shrunk considerably post-2019. 

[Mike’s Monsters]

To add, there are folks on Twitter and Reddit that are claiming we'll for sure see a Godzilla x Kong Super Bowl spot, and I know for a fact that's not happening. I think the Variety article is probably accurate in everything we should expect to see.

The DanielRPK guy hides a lot of his scoops behind a paywall... So, take that info and do with it as you'd like.

Yeah, Alien: Romulus having a presence on Sunday seems more unlikely. I think Disney will focus on Apes, Deadpool, and Inside Out 2.

I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised though! Similar to what Mike said before though, I'd expect the marketing to start closer to April or May.

I don't think it's impossible that Romulus has footage on Sunday though.

Too late, i'm betting the house.

If this one doesn't go down, then it's on you Mike.

Edit @@@@ but I remain optimistic 🙏

So the trailer is ready...
A possible a full length trailer with Dune 2?

[Mike’s Monsters]

Still not entirely sure how much truth there is to that. Would be cool. But my knowledge is that things haven't started moving at full speed yet with marketing production timeline. But again, it's not all under one marketing studio's house either. Time will tell.

[SiL]

Main trailers are often done at post houses with trailer editors direct though, their creation isn't always tied to the rest of the marketing efforts.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Yeah, some places do both too. This case is one of them that does a little bit of both. But this house also might not have been commissioned to do both.

[David]

Looking forward to a trailer.

Kind of interesting how they made it clear that is connected to Noah Hawley's TV Series.

Romulus will probably be a more straightforward movie like the first one, like Noah Hawley's series will be a more bold and ambitious project like Aliens, that tries to build upon the world and explore it.

[TheBATMAN]

I still think the TV series is going to exist purely in its own bubble.
