Let the fun begin.
The ALIEN RPG calls the whole of colonized space the Middle Heavens. Down below.

sorry couldn't get a PNG for the Middle Heavens map
This looks to be an eerily similar Gas Giant? Maybe close to LV-426 due to the time frame of Romulus supposedly being between Alien & Aliens? Terraforming crews have been good eating for the Xeno! HAHA!!
The UA, 3WE, and the ICS are buds, more or less but conflict does happened between the three. All of them are enemies of the UPP, because of space communism.
The Alien RPG has you covered in wars and conflicts. Which had basis in rejected alien sequel ideas, primarily Alien 3.
According to the Alien RPG, you have the United America (Basically North and South America as one federation), Three World Empire (Japan, Britain, India and several smaller countries), The Union of People's Progression (Russia, China, Germany, Italy, United Korea, all communist) and the Independent Colonial Systems.
ooh, some fantastic names here.
Can't wait to see what they came up with.
Big Things have short teaser trailers.
Super excited !!!!
Maybe?
i saw a interview with Fede where he said he wanted multiple films to connect.
So it wouldnt be to far fetched for this to be close to Lv-223.
I guess Weyland-Yutani still had the coördinates to the planet :p
"RAW RESOURCES and/or act as a LISTENING POST "
Could work...But I need some sort of story where the Alien verse is having resource wars/conflicts. "Keep your hands off my planet...You bitch!!"
LV-223 is right next door and it seems packed with raw stuff. Mars and Venus might be off limits in the Earth system ( as with the large moons ).
I need to know what the Nostromo was transporting. Not just 20 million tons of "ore". What ore could they possible be seeking? Sounds like some stories need to be fleshed out.
I don't care about the 'test bed' theory, but I do know getting raw ore out of a gravity well ( LV-426 ) is crazy and I'd like another theory why W-Y were there.
Not to beat a dead horse here but let me explain further since I can't edit my comment.
Ripley was set adrift for 57 years right?
Hadley's Hope was established sometime between 2122 (2137 if we include Alien Isolation since there was no Hadley's Hope on LV-426 at that time either) and 2179.
Ripley was in cryosleep for 57 years, that gives Weyland-Yutani 42 years to establish Hadley's Hope within the time frame after ALIEN and ALIEN ISOLATION.
Now Weyland-Yutani forgotten LV-426 after the Nostromo incident since everything relating to Alien Isolation was done by SEEGSON Corporation.
So between that time to the Outbreak, Weyland-Yutani rediscovers LV-426 and commences several scanning probes but by that time the derelict ship MOSTLY had sank beneath the surface of LV-426 due to volcanic activity.
So in the preliminary report, they couldn't confirm Ripley's report.
So if it was a TEST BED, where was the catalyst to their immediate plans? No derelict, no Ripley, no reason to sacrifice an outpost colony.
The only reason why you would have a outpost colony out in the middle of nowhere on a dead rock is for two reasons besides looking for xenomorphs.
RAW RESOURCES and/or act as a LISTENING POST
If Ripley is supposed to be the catalyst to their plans, then the people at Weyland Yutani must be PSYKERS however I don't recall seeing any psychic characters in the films.
Burke only seemed to act when Ripley gave her testament. So what was Weyland-Yutani doing on Hadley's Hope prior to Burke and Ripley's meeting? Twiddling their thumbs?
In order for something to be a Test Bed, you need to plan out and establish the site as your testing site. You need a clear goal, you wouldn't wait around and expect a miracle to solve your problems.
Like Ripley's discovery was a huge miracle, given the circumstances she could have easily been found dead should her cryopod life-support would have given out.
Without Ripley, then Burke couldn't get the exact coordinates to the derelict ship. So the Test Bed idea would have failed before it even started.
"Nothing makes sense with lv-426. Why would they even terraform such a small ( 750 mi diameter ) waterless world."
Well it could have a large abundance of rare earth metals for starters. Maybe its a strategic location during the UA-UPP conflicts? If it was a testing grounds, why did it take WY so many years to enact up on finding the derelict ship? If they knew then they wouldn't need Burke nor Ripley, they would have done something prior to Ripley waking up.
oops I didn't mean to say being retro wasn't cool, it is. I should have just said Covenant's looked apocalyptic
Definitely a Facehugger being pulled off of someone in that first GIF, you can see the legs and tail. That proboscis though... yikes...
Very much so, these ones seem to be a lot more aggressive and less "creepy".
Consensus seems to be overwhelmingly positive for the trailer so far! Love to see it!
That's true Jonesy, in concept the Covenant poster is more interesting but not reflective of what the film actually contains. I do also like the simplicity of the Romulus one. Reminds me a lot of the Prometheus poster actually.
@Xenotaris, I do love the retro vibes Romulus are bringing to the table though!
I like Covenant's more apocalyptic feel to it, while Romulus's poster is cool and all but reminds of a 90's horror movie poster
Cool, I hyped for this movie.
Where is Big Dave tho?
they look more robotic and aggressive to me. In ALIEN and ALIENS they are somewhat more organic like and sneaky
Indeed - they do look darker! Keep in mind the Aliens on board the ROMULUS have been modified genetically in a way, so they will have some new characteristics.
and just maybe , we shall see a longer trailer on or around Alien Day, just maybe, we will see a longer trailer on Alien Day
Totally F&^%ING assume, and Wow again , going to be so cool if they end up back on LV 426 , don't care what yr it is
I slightly prefer the Romulus one because of its clean and more "organic" feel compared with the Covenant one. Covenant one is a creative poster but it doesn't match the film in terms of its context.
I am not a fan of both but I think Romulus one is more pleasing to the eyes. And I love the saliva pouring out lol
Nice interview!
Remus and Romulus seems to be part of the story. Twins, siblings and a stolen tech higher power.
And he got feedback from Cameron!
Director (kind of) confirms it's a 2hr ride : )

around 4:00 mins
The metal gate at the end of the trailer with the locking catch is VERY Alien3. Prison cell/planet stuff.
Red flairs to distract the facehuggers?
Synthetic warning them to run?
Looks like the facehuggers are darker in color.
It's about as revealing as the poster was for Alien: Covenant!
Yes!
I really don't get a feel for any sort of story.
Did something happen in cryo? (Alien:Covenant cryos?)
I am not much a fan of the poster though, lack of character :p
this shot gives me Andromeda Strain + Close Encounter of the Third Kind feel
I'm getting an Alien3 vibe with the suits.
LOVE the teaser. Although it doesn't show much but it really capture the horror with that tension and atmosphere. I especially love the lighting and coloring that I can already feel the mood of the movie is going to be awesome. Also it gives me very Alien Isolation nostalgia. I am so excited. Now I hope the story is good, and give us 120 mins thriller ride.
ASWESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOME
From threads, this seems to be the shot of the company retrieving something
