    Good photo editing to accompany that story with the Dora the Explorer movie image.

    Absolutely, and famously the actors didn't expect it so the reactions were genuine; but you still saw very little. Alvarez has an eye that tends to linger and gawp in a manner that's a bit too gross for me

    Trailer

    Hits cinemas August 16th

    The trailer has a good claustrophobic feel

    Trailers always look good, but this does actually look GOOD!

    That's a well edited trailer, I'll give it that. I maintain a little caution Alvarez is gonna lean way too far into gross, leering gore over proper scares. And the trailer didn't quite do anything to alleviate that sense.

    Also interesting how for such a high profile franchise I couldn't pick a single name from the cast.

    Yeah, I recognise Cailee Spaeny from Mare of Easttown, but that's it. More money for effects I guess!

    Visually it looks very, very impressive. Had to turn it off before it finished though as it was giving too much of the film away

    I'm not going to watch it as I've given up on trailers, but I'll take all of your words that it looks good!

    Oh yeah, she was in Civil War as well, also looking intermittently traumatised by events around her, ha. For sure it's a budget saver you'd have to imagine, and also skirts that classic giveaway "problem" where the one Big Name is sure to get offed in the First Act.

    Yeah, about 50 seconds was enough to know the tone and feel of it, without any spoilers.

    I like that they included he "in space no one cna hear you" looks good , i do get a sense there could be a lot of action scrambling which i'd prefer less of for tense buildup. not fussed on the no big names on it.

    They certainly seem to be putting the Face huggers front and centre of all the trailers and posters arent they . Feels like that's how Fede is looking to differentiate this film from others in the franchise. Expanding the tension of the medbay face hugger scene in Aliens across a whole film. Mine the bodyhorror aspect of being mouth raped by a spider rather then merely hunted down by the big guy.

    Bit of a plot summary with that.

    Alien 3 is not awful, it is just that it was very different to Aliens. I hated it too initially but have since watched it more than once and enjoy it now.

    Looking forward to this one

    I have mentioned it a few times, but there is a version of Alien 3 called the Assembly Cut. It is a much better story IMO, and is what should have been released.

    Personally love the aesthetic of A3 a lot, Fincher did a pretty solid job, especially when you consider how sick he was during filming.

    The Alien 3 Assembly Cut had no involvement from David Fincher but he did apparently give it some vague blessing, FWIW.

    I found it a much better feature and worth checking out. It made the whole thing much bleaker, and a more cohesive creature TBH (fixing many aspects like Paul McGann's character suddenly disappearing), without being able to fix all the flaws.

    As a recall the Assembly Cut of Alien 3 attempts to reconstruct the last cut of the film that Fincher was involved in editing. The problem with it is that it does this by leaving out a lot of the reshoots, much of which Fincher directed and which improved the film.
