It is interesting that these guys worked on Aliens and were brought back. It doesn't convince me anything until I see the film because how many times have we read those credits in a movie "The writer of and then the film is trash but I really am hoping for the best on this one

[charleslaine]

I like that he uses the word "inflict" to describe his desired effect on the audience.

100% going to watch Alien Romulus, it looks awesome!

[Warlord]

This was awesome!! I just came from Monsterpalooza but couldn’t stay for this since I had a long drive back.

[Jjw]

I am so stoked that they’re putting this film in IMAX. I can’t remember the last time I saw a horror film in that format. And for an Alien film?!? Sign me up!!!

[ChronicBreakdown]

I can't wait for Romulus. I'm so glad they are bringing back the horror of the first 3 movies.

[strangerthanfiction]

Fede knows a lot, he does talk about THE MOVIES, not only oh look i did an alien Film.

[jamesg]

I saw a test screening (without complete VFX) and this movie will blow you all away.

[ryost]

[Rammvis]

He made a remake that surpased the original, I have full faith in him. The trailer looked amazing.

"WE EVEN GOT PHIL TIPPITT TO DO SOME STOP-MOTION FOR US"

[Xenocide]

A lot of comments here are negative...
Cool vid! It's great to see the thoughts the director and co workers have! I'm definitely excited for this movie, i think it's going to be great! ^^

[strangerthanfiction]

All the great effects people from my youth?! Now i just gotta be brave and watch this horror.
Maybe if they dont just go for blood and guts, this will be as disturbing as alien.

[Cloudiskyies]

haha great he is a Metalfan. Only Metalfans can do this kind of movies. Iron Maiden T-shirt.

In respecting of some mythic (or memorable) characters of the saga, I can't understand this question properly, what's inside the mind of all this fans asking for the return of Ripley, Newt, Shaw and David (and why not the dog alien???). So it has to be that I search for other things within all those movies. I enjoy them or not regardless the presence / absence of those characters. If the narrative is strong enough, it doesn't need this attachment, this chaining to the past.

I am thinking just now in The kingdom of the planet of the apes movie because it was very disappointing for me. What's the sense of all those pretended homage scenes that you made for the fans, if you have a film that just doesn't work?

Everyone knows Aliens is a much more loved film than Alien. Why have all sequels in the last 10 years been Alien clones/sequels/prequels? We want the Colonial Marines

[liamphillips]

The blueprint for anything that might follow is absolutely clear in the first film right up to the death of Dallas. After that things are carried by fairly formulaic momentum. But tone and essence are right there for extrapolation. Aliens is fantastic but is ultimately only one good extrapolation possible out of MANY.

A3 had some potential but it was creatively castrated by committee. All the rest of the films are tiresome schlock looking to exploit you for a few bucks. The first film had adults dealing with an adult situation in an adult way and the second followed in continuity of mature approach.

They bungled the derelict pilot, the Titans, any origin ideas, all the Weyland stuff, all the android stuff, all the Ripley/Newt/Hicks stuff. You really have to go very, very far out of your way to fuck up the possibilities set up by BOTH the original AND Aliens. Always hopeful but seriously, man, how many times are you gonna kick when Lucy the Idiot Studio Schmuck is holding the football? We'll see.
