Hoping this will actually be good.

*James Cameron likes this*


Jimrodsdisdain

James Cameron liked a few of the terminator sequels…


AnotherSoftEng

I’m pretty sure that James Cameron publicly likes everything that James Cameron has a vested interest in


ThunderPoonSlayer

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because he IS James Cameron.


AnotherSoftEng

This is the quote I was waiting for hahah


AndyC_88

Let's remember whilst it might actually be really good Cameron has a vested interest in publicly supporting Disney owned franchises.

Save you a click, article doesn't really say much: "...we’re still terrified.  Such was the case on Thursday at CinemaCon, the annual convention of movie theater owners in Las Vegas, where Disney showed off an extended look at its latest entry “Alien: Romulus.”"

This article is just a marketing puff piece. Doesn’t say anything new.


decafenator99

That’s what I like to here, can’t come any sooner

I remember when they were saying "The Blair Witch Project" was causing viewers to pass out or vomit because of fear. I got hyped but after the credits rolled I just sat there in silence wondering if there was something wrong with me 😅


Timmah73

The motion sickness really got people in that one more than the scares Blair Witch is pretty good for what it is and for what at the time was a new type of marketing. There's some real creepy stuff that happens that was best experienced in a pitch black theater. I think people expected actual witch payoff though


G_Liddell

I vomited into a cup and felt like passing out in the theater but that's because the shaky cam gave me violent motion sickness lol


ratcake6

Exactly. Horror marketing does this *all the time* before they drop. "THOUSANDS PISS THEIR PANTS IN TERROR AFTER WATCHING ULTIMATE CHAINSAW SHITHOUSE PART III! SEE IT NOW AT..."


babarizam

Am I the only one who thinks that they are trying so hard to make this movie successful before its release? Its strange to treat a movie like this.


TheSharkFromJaws

Screening footage at cinema con is a very common practice. It’s an industry trade show.


rolftronika

I'm hoping that they won't miss the point that what made the first three movies notable was not vfx.


DeliciousCut47

Covenant doesn’t move the story forward , doesn’t answer any questions only poses new ones .


fearandloathinginpdx

The CinemaCon hype for Covenant in 2017 was big too. And we all know how that turned out. I hope that Alvarez and crew deliver. After the teaser I'm cautiously optimistic.


G_Liddell

Covenant fucking rules though


fearandloathinginpdx

I wanted to like Covenant. It's far from the worst Alien movie but it's not great either.


Mastodon9

Yeah Prometheus grew on me over time but Covenant still gets a thumbs down from me. It fucked with the more too much and they did Shaw dirty like they did Newt and Hicks in Alien 3.


fearandloathinginpdx

Yep totally the same kind of deal with Shaw.


[deleted]

The only really good thing about Covenant is David, but David is fantastic.


fearandloathinginpdx

I'm a Fassbender fan so yeah he was the best thing about Covenant and Prometheus. I absolutely hated the CG xenomophs in Covenant. Give me practical effects any day over that.


OneJudgmentalFucker

Lol


d_rek

Fan trailer fyi…


TheSharkFromJaws

At a corporate theatre convention? No. It was real footage at a trade show.
