I can't even imagine the scene with the movie soundtrack layered with it 😢 true horror is back!

Dont forget the speed. They are fast little buggers.

In some ways, facehuggers are even more terrifying for me than the adult drones.

Yeah, the fact that once they grabbed you, unless you had someone to help, you are smoked.

I like to imagine that they are strong enough to break bones and prevent the target from fleeing if they can't attach to the face first.

Noooo, man... fuck. Why not a follow up to Covenant? Stop jumping around ffs.

Very happy it seems to stay closer to the source material, not a fan av Aliens.

​@@bonelessthincrustbecause covenant was a disaster..

@@bonelessthincrust because Prometheus and Covenant were lobotomized movies and not well received.

​ lol Dayum. You really do be enjoy'n them lobotomies, mane...

That's what I said too! It looks as scary as that game!!

They will. This looks like AVP, complete with facehuggers projectile launching themselves. Looks like a comic book. Very sad way for the film series to die off.

I always took it that the facehuggers *could* implant in seconds/a minute, but preferred to stay attached to keep their host unconscious. If they're conscious, they could potentially remove the embryo, but that's not a guarantee either.

@@ripley6942 but that is canon. Remember the medical lab scene in Aliens?

@@ripley6942facehuggers always launch themselves though? Alien straight out of the egg, and Aliens at ripley in medical?

It's annoying how fast they make the chest bursting happen in everything after Alien4. Just how do they think these creatures spread? The cycle seems to rrely on being brought back to a populated area, or having time to wander back there without understanding ehat happened. It's more virus than instant threat.

There clearly is no shortage of movie goers who will clap for ancient stale boomers Dudley Scott and Jim Sham-ron. 😂

@@ripley6942 Scott is definitely past his prime, but he at least he was still putting out some decent movies in the 2000s and 2010s. Can't say the same for Cameron. Don't think he has made a single good movie since T2 and the Abyss, and those haven't aged all that well.

Sorry, but Titanic is a brilliant movie. Avatar is pure meh though.

@@alansmith4655 It had great sets and effects, but the script is awful. It's actually hard to believe Cameron made a masterpiece like Aliens at one time.

​@@zelctron4665 you father

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing. No need to make more of them to be scary, the setting sells it if made correctly. Fingers crossed it fits well :)

A solution for this would be if they had some armoured face masks of helmets in that scene to protect them

​@@headshot217 Cain being implanted through his space suit shows that masks likely aren't an option. Besides, the scene seems to be a chase, the end is likely to involve them closing a nice thick airlock door to keep them safe(barring maybe one last face hugger who gets someone, maybe the same someone we see having their facehugger pulled off). Plus, we don't know if there're any additional "red shirt" cast members who the script will be sacrificing as hosts in this scene.

In aliens berzerker, and the novel bug hunt both have hordes of face huggers and it really makes for a scary sight! Yes each one on its own has the ability to end someone’s life but the over bearing need to get to you, the weird spidery shape, it’s awful to watch! In a good way!

@@RipOffProductionsLLC If it was reinforced armour I doubt they could get through it

I thought the same thing when I heard about the space station, has a very cold forge feel to it and also would explain the mass of face huggers. I don’t think he read any of the novelizations though based on his comments about the kids growing up there is a fair amount of that covered in River of Pain.

@kornykidd0 yeah personally, alien isolation is universally accepted as having rhe spirit of alien. I'm still terrified to complete it.

​@@louisfair1876LOL!😂 Do it! You'll be rewarded! Best FP horror survival game ever, imo. I count it third after Alien and Aliens as one of my favourite installments in the franchise. Dare you to play it on 'Nightmare' mode if you haven't already.😂👍 You always know a Working Joe..

@@louisfair1876 Mad scary! Lol The Xeno AI is a beast!😂👍

I do wonder if that's the scene that's been referenced as having people look away in disgust. That particular aspect of the facehuggers has always been a deliberately uncomfortable one for many.

but the lips are tight....likes shes sucking it off. ​ made me chuckle

Dude.... Bit on the nose

That scene is gonna wake up a lot of women into the Ovipositor Kink and Primal Hardware is gonna get hammered on orders. Which I find both hilarious and hot.

Fair comment.

But James Cameron likes it too, which hopefully balances things out lol

​@@TheDawntideJames Cameron also liked Terminator Genysis

You likely worry when you fart around your friends…

Youre worried that the director of the FIRST Alien movie likes it? Yikes bud

And used practical effects and not tacky looking CGI in every shot.

My expectations, after Aliens, are buried in a nuclear bunker 2 miles underground, and they lost the key

I ADORE that game! I can never understand why they didn't make a sequel.

I still play isolation now even though I have all the trophies. Love that game.

My all-time favorite video game & Metroid Prime 🔥

I want the same studio to do a aliens sequel. It's crazy we haven't gotten a decent first person shooter based on aliens

@@headshot217 Yeah, could be amazing. I do prefer to "ROCK!" rather than cowering in cabinets and under tables.

Totally agree, milking the cash cow to death. Nothing new or original just a total rehash. Alien and Aliens were perfectly done, in the same way with Predator and Predator 2. Everything after these 4 fabulous films are mediocre at best.

@@chrisclarke7274 Terminator and Terminator 2 should be considered as well. Then there are stand-alone greats like The Shining , The Thing, Pet Cemetary... The remakes were abdominal.

I think Alien 3 gets an unfairly bad rap. It has an existential tragic quality that I find to be really emotionally resonant. It also is set within a highly constrained setting and I think does a lot with that.

@@AthalieM Alien 3 was my introduction to the franchise. While it’s considered the black sheep in the Alien franchise, it still holds a special place in my heart.

ALIEN 3 shares first place with ALIEN according to me. It's like fine wine - it gets better with age.

I wasn't keen on three but I did read the dark horse comics sequel to aliens before I saw it....Ripley newt and hicks survived in that one and it was a way better story.......but alien 3 is still better than both Prometheus and covenant

Alien 3 is special. I have a big soft spot for it.

Personally, I never liked the Xeno Queen as it simply reduced the Xenomorphs to space insects rather than the Lovecraftian cosmic horror that was in the original set-up.

The set design looks very much inspired by Alien: Isolation.

​@@SmartCookie2022i see what youre saying, but they can still be that with a queen. That queen headcrest is quite lovecraftian. Especially the implications of her intelligence and motives for her brood.

I mean.. Ripley was the first human but not the only. In the Aliens IP itself if you combine the novels, comics, etc.. She's not the only, just the first.

@azemthetraveler6154 there is no Xeno-Queen confirmed,,, buuuuuut i tell u this, Romulus (in the mithology) was the 1rst. KING of Roman imperium,,, so that tell u something. I think we can speact to see the FIRST XENO-KING

I hope that's true, I get a similar impression that he's making sure Cameron and Scott are onside and he's being professional about it all. But his work is much gorier than any of their movies tend to be. This one will be visceral if nothing else!

Facts.

Don't be so hard on that Squirrel! He was doing his best - Dagnamit!

It's his opinion.

I agree...Prometheus and Covenant are abominations and will never be canon for me personally. Alien 3 and Resurrection are underrated as hell and especially Resurrection had some incredible shots and scenes (the underwater scene) so I really hope we finally get a good Alien film again after almost 3 decades...

U jackass

Ridley Scott, the same guy who ruined Napoleon

I like the first half more for Covenat because the White aliens feel different and scary

Covenant was pure garbage. Romulus is a huge improvement already. Helps to not have Fassbender.

Me too. I am curious to know how any eggs etc got on the space station in the first place. In the original Alien film that is supposed to be the first encounter. Then Ripley is lost for 57 years, before she finds out the company now has a colony on the original planet with the ship and eggs. Till that point no one knew they were there at all from the colony and supposedly neither did the company. So how are they on a space station set in a time period when Ripley was lost? Did someone at the company suspect there was something on that planet after Nostromo went missing? They knew there was a "distress" call and tasked the ship to be diverted there. So when Ash never reported back and the whole crew etc vanished, someone must have had suspicions. So maybe that someone went there before the colony got started...then set up the space station project and got killed on Romulus / Remus etc before the new films team turns up for salvage...And I think I just answered myself....

Movies like Covenant make me think there exists a money laundering scheme in Hollywood.

​@@JessicaChastainFanOh look, an actor you personally dislike isn't in it, guess that means it'll be good

13:27

We should just call it the Gain of Function franchise.

Roger that. I can surely opt on your side since I'm also very very careful and lowball with expectations after all those years and flops (except Alien Isolation), however I'm also one of those few that really liked the idea Prometheus/Covenant have introduced - that we played God and created a "perfect android" and at the same time our perfect creation also played God and created a "perfect organism" 😎

@@mwk1 I would’ve preferred it if Prometheus was it’s own thing and had nothing to do with the Alien IP because then Ridley Scott could’ve had his own sci-fi trilogy with Alien, Blade Runner and Prometheus being unconnected but then they could’ve sold it as the Ridley Scott sci-fi box set if possible but definitely a trilogy of the same genre akin to Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi trilogy. I remember really being dead excited for Prometheus and looking forward to not only a new film that wasn’t connected to an existing IP but Ridley Scott returning to science fiction film don’t get me wrong I would love it if someone can get Alien right at long last after James Cameron‘s Aliens. I still think the Xenomorph’s origin should’ve remained a mystery which makes it far more terrifying. In Prometheus they should’ve just had the android create something else something new & fresh, No Xenomorph & no Weyland/Yutani, considering it’s titled Prometheus not just named after Greek Myth but there was also Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus it could’ve been more of a retelling of Frankenstein but in space becoming it’s own new IP

I am with you 100 percent. We have been let down so many times. Ridley Scott himself shit the bed TWICE!!! With Prometheus and Covenant. So I do not care for his opinion on this movie or his input when he failed to deliver with two chances. I have ZERO expectations and will not be swayed by a fancy teaser trailer. I will not forget how excited I was to see Covenant ...I remember going to see it solo and was shocked that not only was it bad...but it was WORSE then Prometheus. I will wait and see. I will not get hyped at all. I already see people getting excited from the teaser. People have SHORT memories.

Evil Dead 2013 was great. Much better than the one that came out recently.

​@@bucknasty69really did you not like it? I thought they both were great movies. May I ask why did you not like the most recent one

Evil Dead 2013 is quite possibly THE BEST OG Horror Revamp Movie that was a huge thing from 2008 - 2014 (Friday The Thirteenth, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Fog, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.)

@@brandonmccann15 I didn’t think the new one was bad objectively, but I felt Alvarez’s film was closer in vibe to the originals.

@@bucknasty69"I feel much better now". lol what a scene.

this

When he said 2023 will be pouring into this film, i hope they don't mean woke.

It'll be terrible.. Stop flogging a dead horse

The CGI facehuggers do nothing for me. And the lead actress looks about 15. Hardly has the gravitas to pull off a toughened space scavenger. I'm going off a teaser trailer obviously, but my excitement level is minimal.

Ditto.

No wonder after so many letdowns since Alien 3.

'Cautiously Optimistic' is a well-worn cliché at this point. It's probably the most positive any sensible person's expectations can be these days.

The gore and body horror can work if done right. John Carpenter's The Thing is my third favourite movie of all-time, and it had it in spades!

same..

same :D @@PaintedSoul79

Just be excited, don’t let what corp has they hands on it dictate how u feel, I feel like it’s gonna be the bloodiest and most hard to watch (in a good way) with intense scenes and some combat scenes too

​@@desmondkaczynski8190 maybe, but there is a pattern of Disney getting hold of franchises and screwing them up. As an alien fan i hope im wrong and is a good film, but its understandable for people to be skeptical

@@zelctron4665 I mean it obviously wasn't given how it was reviewed by both critics and fans. Some people just like to be different.

@@zelctron4665I guess gotg was not good ….

And what is the way to handle those movies? Add colonial marines who swear like sailors with elephants in spacesuits using telepathy?

​@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203anything would be better than trained scientists allegedly at the top of their field acting stupider than the space truckers and grunts in the first two movies. Or people putting their face up to a xenomorph egg just because an obviously evil robot they threatened to kill five seconds ago told them to. Also are you really going to act like giant, bald, albino dudes with a god complex is some sort of superior concept?

​@@xKinjax I prefer the Jockeys from the comics, Fan theories and dark descent. One of the best theories I heard was the Jockeys were the ultimate "God", going back a few billion years as a vast, interstellar empire. They create several races, and one day, they create the pinnacle of genetic engineering, their mistake giving it too much free will and allowing it to create like it's masters, these are the Igiggi from mesopotamian myth. The slave races led by "marduk" the pinnacle slave species, the Engineers. The elephant headed, exoskeletal-snake bodied Jockeys and their heavily bio-mechanically augmented psionic-willed bodies (they were telepathic in the comic and the very old Alien: FUZION by Chris Dias I'm friends with him on social media) are the Annunaki, the Titans, the slave-drivers, "the spatial architects". The Engineers lead an eventually slave rebellion after mistakenly thinking they no longer need their masters. The War in Heaven ensues, terrible weapons like the Xenomorph and far worse of eldritch design are employed until only the slave races stand victorious. They begin to clean up the galaxy, terraforming worlds, fixing horrifically damaged ecosystems and create their own servant races, us amongst them and predators and many others. The cycle repeats. LV426 "Acheron" was either a crash site, or it was a subterranean Space Jockey (NOT ENGINEER CONTROLLED) space port, blown to hell only one ship in good enough to conditioned that never got a chance to retaliate against upstart slaves as it's cargo leapt free from its damaged stasis fields, infecting the pilot and ultimately killing it. I want THAT over these constant reboot movies.

​@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203Jockeys > Engineers. Those telepathic enigmatic elephant exoskeletal giant freaks were far more badass than some bald albino made by a senile director who wrapped all over his first film in 1979.

Sure. They had lots of CGI and shaky cam jump scares and hyper fast action scenes in the 1980s...

Yeah I didn’t like the sound of that!! I am sure that most ‘proper’ alien universe fans would want ten retro look!!! 🙄

I do think he was talking about the technical aspects of filmmaking here. But we'll see. The whole "cast of young people" kind of has me worried. Not because that's inherently bad, but because young actors from modern Hollywood all seem to have this same look and vibe about them and I worry that it could make the movie feel flat. Like in the original Alien you had such a great variety in characters.

He meant it literally i believe 😂, referring to the space vistas/skybox and loss of gravity scene only possible with 2024 technology.

Alien: Isolation game is like Alien: Resurrection, but being stranded on a space station instead of military spaceship.

Alien Isolation feels more like the first Alien movie which was more horror

I mentioned about the Fireteam Elite look of that pseudo Pulse Rifle on an answer I gave elsewhere. Problem I have with that is I don't think Armat Battlefield Systems sells military grade weaponry to ordinary civilian 'Joes'. They either scavenged them/it somewhere or bought them on the 'black market', probably off of some dodgy Weyland-Yutani executive.😂

I thought the alien TV show became this movie?

@@dmen0563 No the Alien TV Show is its own thing.

​@@dmen0563No, they're separate projects, different directors. Noah Hawley is overseeing/directing the TV series.

Lol what? ALL the alien films have always had “horror” in them since the start and even IN Prometheus and especially Alien Covenant that had intensity to them. The horror NEVER left regardless if you were into to them or not, that’s just fact!

@@Gadget-Walkmen No, it really isn't. Prometheus and Covenent returned a bit to horror, but those are mostly full on Sci fi. And as much as I like the movies, everything from Aliens to Resurrection and AVP are just action films, pure and simple. What cosmetic horror elements were present were heavily diluted. This is in stark contrast to the first film which was a masterpiece of tension and horror elements. They've been sorely missed, and most of the fan base will tell you this. We've been stuck in a space marine kill super bugs rut for too long now and we need to leave it. Prometheus and Covenant did that much, at least, but it wasn't enough. Not even close.

@@richt7525 Lol What? Yes it REALLY is. What you're saying is nonsense as the horror aspects has been always been consistent throughout the mainline Alien movies, except for Aliens which wasn't trying to be scary at all, it was just having an eerie atmosphere with intense action. But the franchise as a whole is STILL horror based with a creepy atmosphere throughout. And whatever Resurrections was doing was just bizarre but it was still good fun. AVP doesn't count AT ALL nor even close to being canon as those are just spin off movies. Prometheus and Alien Covenant are BOTH Horror/Sci-fi movies, they combined BOTH genres into the film as the first film has done. Alien Covenant especially trying to be more scarier than prometheus was with it's intense atmosphere, horrific set pieces, and chilling soundtrack which were excellently well done. "What cosmetic horror elements were present were heavily diluted. This is in stark contrast to the first film which was a masterpiece of tension and horror elements. They've been sorely missed, and most of the fan base will tell you this." I STRONGLY disagree with this notion that they've been "hEaVIlY dIlUaTeD" as they have been central focused WITHIN prometheus and alien: covenant. Yes, the first Alien movie does it the best compared to prometheus and covenant but it's unfair to say that they didn't have MAJOR cosmic horror elements throughout, that's what those movies were all about. Especially Covenant. "We've been stuck in a space marine kill super bugs rut for too long now and we need to leave it." LOL What? That hasn't been much of a thing since Resurrections or Alien games where you're mainly playing as the marines against hordes of enemies. We haven't BEEN there in any of the movies for MANY MANY years. What you're And calling Xenomorphs "super bugs" is only cheapening them as they've ALWAYS been more than that and more complex in their biology, it's why the humans want them so much. They're WAY more than just "super bugs" as they are the main antagonistic force and face OF the franchise, literally EVERY movie has xenomorphs in them as they ARE the franchise as they are the mainline threat in every film, except for prometheus even tho tho they are still in it at the final scene. That's what the series is all about, the xenomorphs themselves. "Prometheus and Covenant did that much, at least, but it wasn't enough. Not even close." It WAS enough to give off that eerie sense of cosmic horror which the series has always been known for and even Alien Isolation has done that as well. I'm sure that Alien Romulus will be more up and center about all of this and definitely WAY more better and consistent than prometheus and covenant but it's entirely unfair to say that they didn't have horror/cosmic horror in them as series has HAD hardcore horror in these movies for the LONGEST of times now for years in them.

@@Gadget-Walkmen yeah, excessive capitalization doesn't help or make your point. Chalk it up to a difference of opinion. You're entitled to your incorrect one 😂

@@richt7525 LOL You serious? Excessive capitalization DOES help and make my point when I have to emphasis this for you LIKE THIS, which is obvious that It's not just "difference of opinion", you're just flat out ignoring what's CLEARLY there in the movies consistently that's there.. The only "incorrect one" here is what you've been BADLY saying right now here and how badly you've been taking it right now, that's for sure. Goodjob at laughing at nothing, seriously.

Alvarez also loved Isolation.

The trailer itself and your apparent passion for this franchise really urged me to check out the other films. I've only ever seen the first Alien but that film blew me away with how ahead of its time it felt.

@Nexuspoint2542 Very intriguing. I hope there is reference to the events of Isolation and Blackout in Romulus. Would be super cool.

That would be cool!
