Again, we have no idea what this film may or may not do. Hicks is in it? Great. He could also be a flashback, dream sequence or waking hallucination. If 'Terminator 2' was being made and we had a picture or two of Sarah Connor interacting with Kyle Reese, people would be shouting RETCON from the virtual rooftops, right about now, too - but context would matter.
We know nothing, guys. Absolutely nothing, whatsoever.
Just hope it'll do its job as a movie and will prove entertaining.
'Alien Isolation' is a big f**king massive retcon of the highest order, but nobody's up in arms about that. Everyone just loves how atmospheric it was (and, dare I say it, but perhaps her involvement with that title heavily contributed to Weaver's engagement with this one). If you can like that game, then there's just as much of a chance you could possibly like this, too.
