thanks for the video clip. Love this shot from Romulus. The lighting really gives me ALIEN & Alien Isolation mood. I am excited.

ChrisAlien 5 Movie ForumNew plot details about Blomkamp’s unmade Alien film

Annnnnd now I'm very glad we never got Alien 5 hahaha Xenomorphs creating the Derelict with Human DNA would have totally gone against Prometheus lore and the establishment of those ships being Engineer creations... unless the suggestion was that Engineers were a genetic succession to the Xenomorph by splicing Human DNA... Nope, too messy lol. Blomkamp had me in the first half but after hearing this, I'm glad we got Romulus instead.

I like Covenant because of David/Walter characters development. The opening is good but afterwards it kinda trying to copy the ALIEN/ALIENS formula. But overall it's still good and I like how this movie somewhat is the only one in the series that takes place outdoor (minus AVP lol).

I know I'm a total ASS now but I wouldn't mind if Neill would quit making films whatsoever. Elysium and Chappie left a lot to be desired and his films just got worse imho. His strength solely lies in the vfx.

It's good that they still see the potential of the Engineers. Hopefully they will be in a future alien-movie in some way, even though I doubt it.

No thanks, so glad that it wasn't made. To me, it sounds like Alien Resurrection in quality, if you disliked Prometheus then I wonder what you would have thought about this one.

It looks interesting, but who knows what it would have been like. Didn't care that much about David or Shaw, but I know that to me, Covenant was a let-down in general, even though I liked some of the details. The problems with the prequels to me were mainly crappy characters.

My thoughts exactly. 

Eggmorphing dialed up to 11.

It kind of reminded me of one of the unmade Alien 3 drafts, I think it was Eric Red's draft, in which an army of Xenomorphs fuse to form a giant Xenomorph creature, like wtf.

Wow. I had to re-read that quote 5 times to understand it! LOL!

Smart xenomorphs? Building spaceships? Sounds like a predator ( Yautja )

Yeah, no.

Happy Alien day!

Was hoping for more news/leaks on the day.

I guess this will do....Nice they aren't CG.

Looks okay...But not very inspiring. A lot of CGI green screen. I don't see them building these as sets...I just didn't care enough about Shaw or David to watch them wander around an alien planet.

Character development is so important.

They look nice. These are from around 2015 when the story was shifted toward the Xenomorphs. The concept pieces created by Khang Le were from 2014, so I wonder if we will ever see an early draft from 2014 before the story changes.

Curious to see what they made when the film finally comes out.

It's a bummer that Carlos Huante didn't work on Romulus.

Love this topic, great stuff! Love how they incorporated Engineer environments into the game. We need to dive deeper into this side of the lore one day! So much untapped potential.

I've totally missed those commercials! Who wouldn't like another lighthearted Alien ad before we're scared shitless during the Romulus screening? Make it happen <3 in a double sense.

(I bet Japan would do a kickass job with a totally bonkers clip, complete with a rocket-equipped mecha, a dude dressed up as a giant Tofu stick chased by the hungry alien, and a narrator screaming his lungs out. I'd buy that for a dollar!)

G. H. (Gman)Godzilla: Minus Zero ForumGodzilla Minus One [Japanese] Box Office Watch (06/03/2024)

04/25/2024:
It's weekend 25 and Godzilla Minus One is still in the Top 10! It finished at #10 this weekend. It has reached 7.46 Billion Yen ($51.06 Million). It's now the 95th highest-grossing film of all time in Japan. Attendance sits at 4.93 Million. (TohoKogyotsushin)

Golden Week begins next week. (A series of Japanese Holidays taking place from April 29th-May 5th.) Both Minus One and the new release Godzilla x Kong should receive a boost in numbers from the double feature they will have this coming weekend. Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color is also returning to theaters, which should increase numbers this coming week.

Close-up shots of either animatronics or a man in a suit and some complicated shots will be computer-generated, much like in Alien Resurrection or AVP. So no need to worry.

Since they made actual Xenomorph suits, I'd sell my soul for ads like these

"They used a robot for that"

Interesting, so animatronics then perhaps? And coupled with the suit I get the impression they aren't leaning too heavily on a CGI xeno.

Interview with Isabela Merced, her comments on the Romulus Xenomorphs

https://collider.com/alien-romulus-xenomorphs-isabela-merced/

"The team at Legacy really helped us out with it. I was surrounded by pros. The interesting thing is that it was set up for streaming until the middle of filming. Because Fede Alvarez is the nerdy fan that he is of Alien , he really was vouching for this movie. He actually cut the teaser trailer himself, which is very rare. Usually, studios handle that. So, I think it was an absolute honor. I learned so much. Shout out to the crew in Budapest. They were amazing. They were top tier, for sure."

"Definitely seeing the Xeno for the first time. They used a robot for that. And also, they used a human being, like a really tall person, in the costume and special effects. We had two Xenos on set, at all times, and they were just terrifying."

"The detail is incredible. I like the Xeno nails. That’s my favorite part, the chrome nails. I’m gonna get chrome nails for the premiere. You’ll see me with them all around. They were incredible."
