>Last year, Fede Álvarez, who helmed “Alien: Romulus,” was in pre-production on the sequel when he suddenly exited the project. Álvarez reportedly wanted to use Michael Fassbender's David in his sequel, but Scott denied him that privilege because he “might want to come back to the series,” and if so, “I want to be the one who brings him back and uses him.” Since then, Scott is said to to have interfered in studio talks with other potential directors as he wants to direct the movie himself. https://www.theinsneider.com/p/studio-mandates-2026-disney-20th-century-searchlight-lucasfilm-star-wars-zendaya-marvel-studios
>>221366678Good
>>221366678im surprised this beaten and disgraced ip has any value left
>>221366678That's what he always does. Once something does well and gets popular, he swoops in to take credit, pretend he's the reason it's loved, then shoves in his unrelated crap ideas and ruins it. Then grumpily blames the fans for not liking his shit
>>221366678Romulus was shit. It was a jumbled mess of the greatest hits. Nothing original. Prometheus was better
>>221366678I was going to be annoyed by this because I enjoyed Don't Breathe, and Romulus was better than Ridley's sequels even if it wasn't good.Then I looked up picrel and now I don't care at all. This retard had a chance to get a clean break from nu-Alien and instead went out of his way to incorporate as much of it as possible.
>>221366678Napoleon was absolutely atrocious. I expect this will be a steaming pile of xenomorph shit.
>>221367174You can see this in Covenant especially. The scenes with David and some of the Engineer lore snippets were pretty well done, while everything involving the xenomorphs was obviously phoned in.
