Test screenings for Aliens Romulus is coming out, you knew there was a new Aliens movie right? Here's the deets according to https://www.avpgalaxy.net While it’s been public for a while thanks to the Perfect Organism Podcast’s previous teases about the film having connections to the prequel films, Mike’s Monsters has recently confirmed that neither David or the Covenant are featured in the film at all. So what is the connection? Rather, Alien vs. Predator Galaxy can exclusively confirm that the black goo (or accelerant as it is known in the expanded universe) is making a return in the film. A Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 model android was able to discover and reverse engineer the genetic makeup of the black goo contained within the DNA of the Aliens that had been captive aboard the spacestation. Known in Alien: Romulus as the Prometheus Strain, the scientists had been experimenting with the black goo as a miracle cure for all diseases. Alien: Romulus will also feature another huge connection to the original Alien film in the way of the inclusion of the previously mentioned Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2. Named Rook, this new synthetic character features the likeness and voice of the late Sir Ian Holm which Alien vs. Predator Galaxy understands is augmented by AI. Following some general details that they posted yesterday, Scified has shared more specific details provided by V Scooper about Alien: Romulus. First is that the film will include a new weapon that looks similar to the iconic Pulse Rifle. This is another detail that Alien vs. Predator Galaxy can corroborate. White in colour, the new weapon shares many design elements with the M41A Pulse Rifle including the carry handle, and an underslung pump action. The second upload that Scified shared today is something related to what we posted in our own intel about the connections between Alien: Romulus and the prequel films and the original Alien. This has been speculation that we’ve seen and enjoyed being posted on our message boards for some time, and we can now confirm the truth behind it. Big Chap’s remains are recovered at the start of Alien: Romulus. Are you not entertained?

In other news I’m having dinner with Andrew Gaska (author of the Alien RPG) tomorrow, and he’ll also be at the Game On Expo in Phoenix this weekend.

Re: Alien: Romulans: I wonder if they're taking inspiration from the unused William Gibson Aliens sequel script that featured an airborne pathogen. I'm not a fan of it because it ruins the whole 'something lurking in the dark hunting you' theme. I'm also dubious about bringing an Ash-alike back c.f. Princess Shrekface Leia. I guess we'll see.

Hollywood needs to knock this lazy poo poo off. Everything else about the movie sounds plausibly intriguing, though. On paper at least.

I have nothing to contribute other than saying that Romulus synopsis sounds like absolute dogshit and not anything I want from an Alien film. gently caress sake, especially after Prey showed that you can make a great modern Predator movie if you just give people what they want.

The Last Call posted:Test screenings for Aliens Romulus is coming out, you knew there was a new Aliens movie right?  This doesn't sound like a movie for a general audience, more like one for the kind of ubernerds who get excited that "Holy crap, we finally get to find out why the A2s were a bit twitchy!" Everything must be explained, everything must be connected. Is it going to be scary? Is it going to be exciting? Who knows, but there's a new white pulse rifle in it! And yes, the idea of a digital Ian Holm leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Why do that? Why not just cast whoever the modern equivalent of Ian Holm is (Martin Freeman?) and say he's a different model of the same kind of synthetic?

Burn Gorman, David Dastmalchian, Ben Mendelsohn, there's plenty of weird-looking guys who look like they could be a synthetic person.

Yeah, on second thought, I wonder how much budget is spent on digital face replacement for this Ash. Dudes you could have spent that on any number of other cool atmospheric things.

CGI necromancy of dead actors seems to be particularly obnoxious with recent Disney products.

Unpopular opinion: 'Kenobi' Vader voice (AI enhanced and blended or whatever) was a massive improvement over actual James Earl Jones Vader in 'Rogue One', who sounded like a fat man who'd run up trn flights of stairs.

In the new modernized cut of Alien, we've gone all out to make it the ultimate Alien experience. Top of the line CGI and the use of AI voices and actors allow us to not only fix mistakes and improve scenes, but even add in new scenes designed to tie the Alien™ universe together. See Ash's new history with the David-type synthetics! Discover more about Parker's family, including his young nephew Alexander Apone. The new and improved "vents scene" will leave you stunned at the intense battle between Dallas and the Alien. Other great new features: All the computers have been updated to look more modern and in line with what we expect from computers in the year 2024! Slight adjustments to blood and nudity to assure a PG-13 rating A special 20 minute introduction detailing the story of the Engineer who crash landed on the planet and their final story.
