'Alien' Celebrating 40th Anniversary With 6 Short Films

"Alien: Specimen — It’s the night shift in a colony greenhouse"

Bring it on! 

Thank you for the share daliens. I'm still holding out hope on Alien Day news. I'll most likely get kicked in the pecans but I would be so nice to have big news.

Good screen captures dk. Thank you.

This one seems better than the first!

Thanks for the update.

Is it good?

I will only be able to watch all of them in June.

I think this way better than Containment! Nice little surprise in there too!

dk, I hope you don't mind me embedding the video here, too.

Awesome- I can only embed if I make an OP it seems.

BTW- I watched this on a big screen TV and it looks GREAT!

Apologies if already discussed (ive been in exile and missed all this lol) but when are these being released and where?! The trailer looks unreal!

I Raptus Basically IGN has 6 shorts coming before 4/26. The first two are on this thread and I will link new ones here as I see them unless someone beats me to it.

thanks DK! Wow, what a surprise.

Im not going to lie, Im more than a little excited right now. 

Progress for the Alien Franchise!!

The embedded video of the first short disappeared somehow, but you can still find it on IGN.

Looks like the rest will be:

4/12 Night Shift

4/19 Ore

4/26 Harvest and Alone

I am glad Harvest made it to the Alien Day.

Gavin made a post for this but here it is as I earlier stated I would put the shorts on this thread.

Thanks, dk.

I have to wait for a better internet connection.

Long, hard wait.

Just watched Night Shift. I loved the very nihilistic ending. Bleak and very fitting.  

I thought Night Shift was a bit predictable but there was a twist that gave a sense of uh-oh.

Containment still my favorite so far. reminds me of a sequence from Tim Lebbon's Alien: Out of the Shadows novel

So far I think Specimen is the most perfect specimen. I love the twist at the end that was right under our noses from the start and the transition from music to Oh Shit alarm when she took off the headphones. 

Did anyone hear a Predator right at the end of Night Shift?

Here is the little chest buster on rails lol!
