Alien Franchise Day!

[WTIC]

Hey, fellow Promoters!

Monday, April 26 is Alien Franchise Day! The weekend before, I intend on watching the first movies at least! And I will post something here for everyone to enjoy!

Make your plans NOW!

Not familiar with Alien Franchise Day? Here -- avp.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_Day

And I will be adding another thread for the upcoming STAR WARS DAY here soon!

Later!

WTIC, are they still going to do a sequel for Alien: Covenant?

[WTIC]

Hi, Vegas!

I'm not sure on that. I had heard Ridley Scott was planning a bunch of sequels, but now that Disney owns the franchise, I'm not sure on their status.

I also heard there was a planned Sigourney Weaver sequel that fell through that would be the sequel to James Cameron's "Aliens" that would ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection.

I will look into it though, and let you know...

Yeah, the Disney ownership could be an issue. I also heard that, although Alien: Covenant made $ (and it was a good movie too, I own it on BLU-RAY,) it just did not make as much as projected (sort of like the box office for Solo the following year.)

Vegas:

This is the best source I could find about a possible Covenant sequel. The Youtube channel is my source for Alien Franchise stuff:



I did like Covenant more than Prometheus, mainly because it was a different direction to go, and I did want to see what Ridley Scott had planned. And, on a totally different note, I really liked Ridley Scott's "The Terror" since it had a neat what-if scenario set-up!

Now that it's finally Alien Franchise Day, I wanted to post the short movies that were part of the franchise's 40th Anniversary celebration! I hadn't seen these before, so I figured I would post these here in case anyone else hadn't seen them either. You will have to sign into Youtube to watch them though:

Also, just found this on Yahoo! I guess they found the alternative Alien suit still in one piece:

That's it for now!
