They have a short trailer on a thread there.
Do you have a link to the second one? I didn’t catch that…
Well the trailer confirms a lot of the leaks we reported on! :)
There seems to be two trailers? One shows the BigChap being recovered?
I love that they kept with the same style format as the Alien: Covenant poster!
I'm beside myself with how epic that trailer was... the hype train is building serious steam. Everything about that trailer was magnificent, i need to watch it 30 more times.

Excellent.
Looks like CRT monitors...so maybe some old school stuff.
Planetary rings? Calpamos?
Hibernation chambers.....laying down...slow moving large space vessel?
hopefully we will get a decent 120 mins film. I just noticed that most of the director's works were like only 90 mins long lol
If not CGI, then deepfake.
Hopefully, the VFX/CGI artists have enough time and room to breathe so that they can finish their work and not get pixel f-ed. But this doesn't seem to be the case with a lot of recent Marvel and Disney movies/TV shows.
Yeah, A proto-Queen...or something.
They must have found it difficult to control Xenomorph( drones ).....The Queen seems to have no problem.
So fooling the drones into thinking they are doing the Queens work...is the path I'd take. Develop a drone controlling tech with the Queens DNA.
Squad leaders use the tech to control the drones.
Until they don't.
Yep, we will see his likeness reimagined with CGI. Will be a wonderful callback to the original.
The creation of the Queen would uproot a lot of established lore, though. However we do know the Xenomorph had the ability to "egg-morph" rather than evolve into a Queen given the absence of one. It could be explained that way - Humans having created the alternative strain of Xenomorph with genetic abnormalities which led to the creation of the Queen. This could also retcon the explanation for why the Warrior Aliens in Aliens had a different look to the Prometheus Strain / original Xenomorph.
I'm sure a lot of mystery will be preserved. I doubt the scavengers will get much time to dive into the data housed in the Romulus station before Aliens distract them hahaha.
yeah it would be interesting if the Queen creation is somewhat related to Romulus. In ALIENS it was never mentioned how the Queen was formed.
I am also wondering if Alien Isolation could be in the Romulus timeline as well. The game is in timeline year 2137 which is also between ALIEN and ALIENS.
Yeah, zombies have been done to death over the last 10 years...So I'm happy to return to Xeno action. And I'm not sure the audience wants to deal with a virus/pandemic plotline so soon.
Probably better to keep it simple.
And by 2179, I never got the feeling the Earth was on fire because of xeno or Engineer invasions.
They'll probably have to completely destroy Romulus.....
Do you think Romulus station created the Queen? This would make sense to me.
It'll be interesting to see the research station, hopefully they won't spoil too much about the company. As much as I'm looking forward to the movie, I'm also worried that there will be too much that will get revealed.
The black goo is interesting, but I'm afraid that they'll let us know too much about it. Please leave some things to the imagination.
The Black Goo I'm excited for as well, but the Fifield zombie I never cared for, personally. Maybe just his specific aesthetic, the concepts for the Black Goo transformed Humans I wasn't opposed to, just the execution with Fifield.
If we're talking Xenomorph battles I always wanted to see an Engineer take one on like in the unused Alien: Engineers script by Jon Spaihts... but I don't think we'll be getting any Engineer cameos in Alien: Romulus lol..
I wrote a tamer version then suggested this one:
That's an even darker twist – perfect for the Alien universe! Here's the revised scene with that chilling ending:
[FADE IN]
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
Sarah cowers, trapped as the grotesque Super Soldier advances. Just as it lunges, a horrific screech cuts through the air. The Xenomorph pounces, a blur of lethal grace, tackling the Super Soldier.
They fight, a whirlwind of monstrous forms. The Xenomorph's speed counters the Super Soldier's brutal strength. Sarah shrinks back, overwhelmed with a mix of terror and awe. The Xenomorph appears to be winning – until the Super Soldier lands a lucky blow, sending the creature reeling.
Sarah gasps, hope fading. But before the Super Soldier follows up, the Xenomorph whips around, eyes flashing. It lashes out with its barbed tail, sinking it deep into the Super Soldier's flesh. The Super Soldier roars in agony, then with a sickening crunch, the Xenomorph takes its head.
The Super Soldier collapses. The Xenomorph lets out another victorious hiss. It slowly turns towards Sarah, its head tilting in the unsettling way they do, sizing her up.
SARAH (whispering, a flicker of hope) Please… I didn't mean…I didn't…
Suddenly, the Xenomorph's stance shifts. It lunges not IN attack, but PAST her. Before Sarah can react, the Xenomorph pins her against the wall, its inner jaw protruding.
SARAH (Eyes widening) No! No, please!
A strangled scream escapes her as the inner jaw pierces her skin. Blackness rushes in, the Xenomorph's alien form the last thing she sees.
CUT TO:
Weeks later. Sarah's body lies slumped, a disturbing bulge in her stomach. Then, with a sickening crack, something tears its way out of her womb, a newborn Xenomorph, glistening and perfect.
FADE OUT.
Yes! This is what I've wanted for so long....written much about the return of Ash on this forum.
There will be a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 synthetic model featuring the likeness of the late Ian Holm.
Black goo is what I'm interested in. It is really hard to kill.
Zombie super soldiers would be cool. ( Xenos are cool...but have been done)
Infact: I'd make the a scene where a Xeno kills one of the "Fifield" zombie soldiers, saving one of the crew.....Hmmm....I Might write an AI story angle...
So... is Ash ( synth version xx ) making a return?
Exactly, it will be fitting, although I was not a huge fan of the yellow-pallet used in Resurrection, so I'm hoping it's more rust-like / red and orange like in Alien 3.
Orange-yellow color palette, like Alien 3 and Resurrection. Seems fine to me considering the film will start on a gritty industrial planet.
Humans: Let’s investigate that seemingly abandoned space station.
Xenomorphs inside:
From what I gather, Big Chap is dissected and used as the host for DNA extraction and formulation of new / clone-like Xenos, as well as other experiments. I don't think the Xenomorph in the film is Big Chap, but rather another one of its offspring/clones/genetic creations.
It does beg the question - what about the Queen! Indeed could be the basis for a another film. WY definitely don't want Aliens floating about in space hahaha and we know they can survive in a vacuum, so it's likely something did happen to her...
Alien: Romulus will have a red-orange-yellow color pallet unlike the blue-green color pallet of Alien and Aliens - more so like Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, I'm told.
Lol! Yeah what about her corpse? Another movie I suppose....GOOD!
cool!
Huge ship? ( huge ) research station?
We have to SAVE THE QUEEN

"Last night we intercepted a signal. There's a huge ship adrift right above us"
Without knowing the date Alien:Romulus takes place...it's kind of hard to speculate.
2122-23 for recovering the BigChap? You would think they'd have sent a investigation mission after the Nostromo's demise? If not, why take so long.
Why not recover Ripley and the Narcissus? if the date is early?
"We found a specimen....what about the escape shuttle? We should at least interrogate the survivors? Or eliminate them?"
I really hope the writers did their research and at least thought about the timeline issues.
I'm willing to bet WY plant some information or encourage Bjorn to share the details with the rest of their crew. WY wouldn't house a station in easily discover-able space, they're dealing with highly classified information and resources. The only way someone is finding out about is if they want to be found, or if there's a WY whistle-blower who leaks the whereabouts of the station. But I lean more towards the former.
I think it would be more sense, if the Big Chap was recovered by a scavenger ship and later sold/delivered to W-Y. W-Y knowing the location would mean they'd have completely looted the derelict on Lv-426....taken all the eggs and tech. Leaving not much for the colonists of Hadley's Hope to discover. Not to mention they'd probably start exploring LV-223.
And what about: Alien3?
"Ripley! Think of all we could learn from it! It's the chance of a lifetime! You must let me have it. It's a magnificent specimen!"
Does the specimen go missing/destroyed in Alien:Romulus?
I think it must, to avoid some continuity problems ( as if that has mattered in the alien verse. lol! ).
Knowing the teaser/trailer is coming anytime soon within two weeks, but the waiting feels like a torture
Nice work! I really like the second one the most personally.
"I don’t think any of the colonists were aware and to them they were convinced it was just another terraforming operation"
Yeah, I'd make sure the colonists were 'clean' ( no informants ) before I'd make a move. Plenty of Earth governments would love to have this weapon....or thousands of companies. W-Y must always have a target on their back.
And who's to say W-Y doesn't have the same operations on dozens of terraforming worlds?
"Building Better Worlds" just means looting ancient civilizations.
The only way to keep anyone off their prize worlds is to claim they are terraforming.
Good point MonsterZero, there isn’t much viable space and resources on LV-426, it quite literally is such a random and poor spot to host a Human colony… Making it sound more and more like a front for Weyland-Yutani tests. Although I don’t think any of the colonists were aware and to them they were convinced it was just another terraforming operation. There is definitely way more at play than what we were originally led to believe.
"I'm still not behind the idea of Hadley's Hope being a testing ground,..."
Nothing makes sense with lv-426. Why would they even terraform such a small ( 750 mi diameter ) waterless world.
Hadley's Hope could have been a cover operation for a covert military op? The settlers just playing the dupes. A way for W-Y to keep other governments/companies from getting nosey.
Company X/Government X: "What is W-Y doing on LV-426?"
Informant "Looks like they are setting up a terraforming operation....nothing out of the ordinary..."
