Never seen it.... will have to look into it.... Certainly Interesting as indeed any kind of Future where we explore Space, set up a Mining Colony.... as with folks working long way from home on Earth.. is Boredom and Being alone with not much to do! Take the Outpost 31 Team from The Thing! you would need things to occupy yourself... and so thats very interesting with the OUTLAND movie in that they have set up some Entertainment to allow the workers who work hard, to be able to play hard and unwind.
Regarding the OT!
Indeed i had discussed before the Franchise has more to it than Ripley and Queens.... but we would face the similar Problem in exploring a Weyland-Yutani movie that does-not have Xenomorphs or anything related...
That similar Problem... would be they cant use the ALIEN prefix because certain fans would EXPECT to have Xenomorphs and Queens and Marines.... even if there was NO Alien Prefix.... and it had Weyland-Yutani in the Title... then again the Fanboys would be wanting to know where the Colonial Marines are at!
For example you could have a movie called..
Dissolution
Make it about the Weyland-Yutani company after Aliens and explore what leads to the Company being NO-MORE! and have it having little or nothing to do with the Xenomorph.
Problem is would many people know what Dissolution is about as in about the Corrupt Company in the Alien Franchise? And would the Plot/Trailers alone get the Average JOE in to watch such a Movie? This is where they then have to Market it more Heavy so people KNOW its about the company in the ALIEN Franchise or even drop in the Alien Prefix.... which in either case Fans would expect there to then be Xenomorphs and Marines.
When Prometheus was being released... if you asked say a Random Million People, how many would have known it was a Alien Franchise connected movie? Then on the Flip-side those who knew it was connected either could not see what the connections were, or was disappointed it was not a Alieny Movie.
So while there is scope to expand other Stories set within the Universe of the Franchise... a lot would still expect some Xenomorph connection. or Ripley etc.
