Speaking with Empire, Álvarez confirmed that he and Sayagues are working on the script for the Alien: Romulus sequel. He said, “We’re excited about where it can go. We’ve almost checked all of the boxes of things that I want to see [in Romulus], and brought back a lot of the things I hadn’t seen in a while. Wherever we go now, we can go into uncharted waters. I think it’ll be so exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.”

So he's got the Easter Egg references out of his system then hopefully? Come on, a decent Alien film please! 🙂

You mean the worst movie in the franchise?

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 11 points 15 hours ago

The first 3 where better than any of the dross since.

3 got kneecaped in production and the director left. The concept and what was left on the cutting room floor had more potential than anything else in the franchise.

Thd theatrical release deserves most of the hate it gets though.

Resurrection was better than 3 by a lot, imo. They could just remove 3 from the franchise and it would only improve.

Haven't watched it yet, and it may just be a failure of imagination on my part but I have a hard time imagining a worse movie than Alien 3, let alone a worse Alien movie.

Dreamcatcher is a worse movie. it was so bad that I refused to watch a movie that a friend described as "better than Dreamcatcher" because the mere comparison meant it must be shit as well, just not as much and as literally as Dreamcatcher. oh yeah that alien thriller movie is largely about shitting.
