The Weyland-Yutani logo is a "W" laid over a "Y." BUT! The reason the company is called Weyland-Yutani is there was a merger/acquisition in which Weyland won the David AI patent lawsuit from Yutani, and one company bought out the other, thus why the W is ON TOP OF the Y. Also, in the 1979 film, it was called "Weylan, " but only in visible text on screens and supplies, never spoken. James Cameron codified it as Weyland-Yutani in the 1986 film.

Also, silly of me, the Nostromo refinery platform was not an "oil" refinery platform, but rather, a refinery of other non-Earth deep-space minerals.

Going from a jelly bean promo to a blood soaked chamber is pretty funny.

4:48, you are sort of right. Fede Alvarez said that the station is called Renaissance. And it has 2 parts, one is older called Remus, and one is newer called Romulus.

I'm game for any Alien movie, but I will say I'm so happy that we're getting back to the spirit of the originals. I hope this does them justice.

[greyhollow]

I don’t care what people say, all the Alien films can be enjoyable (yes Prometheus and Covenant too) and I’m excited for this one

[IñFDR]

7:02 Went from a screaming person to the joy of easter really quick

[maverick]

I think we can thank, "Prey" for making this film a theatrical release instead of a Hulu release!

[Mike]

I plan on playing Alien: Isolation again before watching this opening weekend!

[clay_gottschalk]

I love Eriks perpetual energy. I'm so excited for this film!

[bmo]

Hope there's some references to Isolation, maybe a mention of Sevastopol as either a dying trade outpost or a ghost story depending on whether Romulus is before or after Isolation

[NoxAnexayi]

Aren't the "inserted triangles" in the Weyland-Yutani logo just the "Y" set behind the "W"?

[Whomidifier]

Haven't watched an Alien-universe movie in some time, and Fede has absolutely sold me on this one!

[kbermond]

You said that the Weyland Yutani logo was a W with inserted triangles. However, I think it is a W with a Y behind it representing the initials of the company.

I want Fede Alvarez to do movie based on Silent Hill!! My dream is to see a movie based on Silent Hill 4 directed by Fede Alvarez

[MrLESLO]

So happy to hear Jim Cameron got to see the film and enjoyed it. I'm trying my best to not get too excited Aliens is IMO the best sci-fi action horror film ever made and will likely never be toppled from its throne. Can't wait to see this at the cinema though.

[kiracodinson]

Hopefully it’s good like Prey was. Trailer was nice 😊

[TipToe]

Wish they would of explained the ENGINEERS

[crosvale]

So my nephew has recently gotten into the Alien franchise, and we are watching all the movies and currently playing through Isolation together for the first time. I really hope there are references to the game in this movie.

[Bhint]

Evil dead 2013 is one of my favorite horror movies of that era. I trust Fede!

[Ryan-vimz]

I think you absolutely NAILED what that effect is going to be in the film!!!
