I understand what you mean.
I got two photos, one is the same set that Fede Alvarez already shared a video about. Probably not that interesting, his video was better. The other is the same set, but one of the habitat pod’s interior fully set and furnished. I usually don’t take photos on set, but I found it amazing how detailed this pod is inside so I took a photo from outside through the window. No story spoiler, no characters can be seen. I just photoed for myself and now when I saw this topic I thought you guys might find something interesting on it.
If you are asking for legal reasons, that would all depend on their NDA clauses in a contract. If they have them, they will dictate the scope of what they can share.

Do share
Honestly…
…that’s a little bit too “on-the-nose” for me….”Not Ripley” dresses nearly identically to her and even copies her shoe brand?

Can you imagine the talk if these two had been wearing matching suits?

Well—don’t forget that those are, technically, the same character.
So…there’s that, I guess.

So this happened yesterday. I was invited by Director Fede Alvarez to attend the world premiere of ALIEN: ROMULUS!

So… how was the movie?
I see Angel City Brewing added the 'd' to Weylan--but still a cool idea. NostromoCrew without spoilers--were your uniforms featured prominently in the film?

Just came back from seeing it. I won't spoil anything but my short take is: 85% awesome that's almost ruined by 15% utterly STUPID fan service, wink-wink callbacks and story-rehashes.
Alvarez knows how to craft a suspenseful movie, for sure. The sets are GORGEOUS. (The Aliens, not as much.) It's a better movie than probably anything in the franchisesince Aliens. But they re-treaded a lot of well-worn story-tropes in the franchise... sometimes carbon-copy. (Think The Force Awakens and A New Hope.) New Pulse Rifles had some nice kick but they don't outclass the M41a.

ALIENS had the exact same ending as ALIEN. Countdown to self destruct, rescue the innocent, problems having an escape ship, false victory, unwanted stowaway, gear up for battle, out the airlock. They didn't do that again did they? LOL

Jeremy Jahns gave a pretty good review of it.
TLDR: pretty good overall, a couple of “wtf moments”, felt a little too long. But he still gave it his second highest rating.
I typically agree with his reviews so it makes me feel better about seeing it and I may try to this weekend, but I’m not rushing out for it.

The Alien franchise has always been one of the most formulaic and I was hoping for something different with Romulus but judging by reviews, especially Jeremy Jahns review I'm not really surprised they went for a "hits all the familiar beats" by making it a mix of Alien and Aliens.
"Going younger" with the cast of any new film in a franchise is always a bit of a red flag for me. I hope these characters don't end up being too irritating.
I will likely go and see it at the cinema, mainly because the Odeon is only £5.
Maybe it was too much to expect something new but I thought this might have done that.
