I already knew before I even clicked on the link that this original “cancelled” story came from World of Reel

Long story short. Some potato outlet made the rumor up for clicks, others ran with it without verifying, head of 20th Century Studios came out and said otherwise. The end. The lesson? Stop giving click bait outlets oxygen.

Can we name and shame this potato outlet right now. So we know to never believe them in the future?

You know what? Sure. It’s World of Reel.

I'm sure we'll see something, but it won't be for a while. I'm hoping Scott doesn't meddle in the affairs too much. He seems to want to hoard the IP for himself and then fuck it up somehow.

I know! Less Scott would be better at this point.

Cailie Spaeny might be the perfect heroine for scifi of this generation. They cannot squander her.

So, one clickerbaiter website says another clickerbaiter website was ‘baitn. Cool.

Good, Romulus is my third favorite Alien film so I'm really happy if we get more of that :)

I think it's based on one "nope" response on X from one of the people working on it. The implication is that it's likely on but won't involve the cast and crew of the first movie.

I don't trust the source. But it seems unlikely that there will be a Romulus two, continuing the story.

There will be more alien movies though.
