This interview only increases my level of confidence in Fede and his team! I believe he is a true fan and he understands what made the first two films great.
And Ridley also made Prometheus so....*Alien: Romulus Director Shares James Cameron & Ridley Scott’s Reactions (& How They Were Different)

Ok, this is too much for me, this is Fede Alvarez wearing one of my bullion scrambled eggs Nostromo cap’s on set!:
I can recognize my particular Nostromo shoulder patch a mile away.
It looks properly weathered!Ok, this is too much for me, this is Fede Alvarez wearing one of my bullion scrambled eggs Nostromo cap’s on set!:
And they did a good job. One would think they were professionals!Woo hoo! Congrats man!
I just hope we get a movie that is full of easter eggs and homages to the original films. Something that straddles the line between in-your-face member berries and deep cuts. Something that is a veiled retread of past storylines and not really moving the story forward in any meaningful way.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I want a modern franchise film.
Well, it has instinct...It's not a mindless animal (if we can characterize it as animal). It's not as if the Xenomorph is holding a human skull in his hand and getting shakespearean with "To be, or not to be" The audience wants horror (how many ways can I use to kill those puny humans?)Eh, not for me. It just looks like cherry-picked, mash-up of ALIEN and ALIENS and heavily reliant on the "more, and faster is scary" mentality. I've always thought this franchise was creatively exhausted after the first movie. As a series, because the first two are so well received, there is honestly no where to go with this premise: you either have to stick to space truckers or space marines, make the xenomorph an intelligent stalker or mindless animal. There's no inbetween and there's nothing to do to push it forward.

Some serious fire-power, from said humans and some gore/exploding flesh and bodies...
