Look at the release date of September 26, 2017. Wonder what significance that could hold?

MemberChestbursterMay-03-2017 8:06 AMI remember lots of vague talk, but I wonder if this is going to be one based on another upcoming movie or a stand alone novel.

MemberOvomorphMay-03-2017 9:07 AMIt will be a prequel story by Alan Dean Foster. The official novelization will come on 23 May from Alan Dean Foster too. On Foster's official webpage the prequel book called Alien: Origin. As he said, itt will be an original and official story from him and not a movie novelization.
