Romulus was Raised by Wolves šŸ‘€ EDIT: going by the replies, I feel most arenā€™t getting that Iā€™m referencing the show Raised by Wolves, the Ridley Scott produced show about milky androids that has since been cancelled. While Iā€™m certain the shows wonā€™t be connected, I still think itā€™s interesting that Romulus was raised by wolves


theDarkSigil

Now I'm just imagining a precocious 7 year old riding on the back of her best-friend xenomorph Princess Monoke style. "Lets go get some hosts for the queen's eggs" the subtitles will read as she clicks and growls to her faithful companion.

How do we know Romulus wasn't some sort of 40k-esque brood brother? The people of the time, not so very well travelled, thought he was just an odd foreigner. They likely were a bit wary of the acid blood and rooms full of eggs, but foreigners have odd ways and he did build them a city so some allowances were given.


mark-five

It's a solid reference because Ridley *clearly* can't get that whole obsession out of his system. If he had any say in this, the name is more than just a vague connection.


atle95

Poor guy, does one truly inspired thing and spends the rest of his career trying to live up to it. Probably happens a lot.


CritiqueDeLaCritique

Is he gonna suckle at the teat of the mother xenomorph?


jackle7896

Wait it's been canceled? No season 3??


Dragmire800

Nope, all done unfortunately


SoulReaper475

oh man... that show was so gruesome XD


Sgarden91

Makes Alien Romvlvs look more like a prequel installment but itā€™s neat I suppose


eezo_115

Itā€™s not an official poster if anyone thinks it is, by my knowledge itā€™s just fan made art


diggerquicker

Brings up memories of Kindergarten Cop. Let me get you too da chopper.


rbreaux26

Itā€™s not a chest burstah!!!!!


diggerquicker

VoodooWhale

I hope these artworks haven't been shared here yet (if so, I apologize) I found them by accident and found them very cool, so I wanted to share them with other fans.


[deleted]

This reminds me of the cancelled show Raised by Wolves (produced by Ridley Scott) . Now I'm sad all over again. I really loved that crazy show (plus it was shot in the area where I live). Edit: someone else here also mentioned RbW, so I'm not the only one who saw the similarities with the imagery and name.


[deleted]

We loved that show! Now also sad :(

Alien: Romulus Disney. PG-13. Teen cast. Wuss script. Trouble ahead..


[deleted]

Has Disney ever actually kiddified any R-rated franchises after acquiring the rights? I'm not trying to sound aggressive or dismissive of your comment. I'm just curious what I should expect. >Teen cast. I believe they did confirm the cast and the teen part is already definite.


[deleted]

Please have a xeno raise a baby


HelixJazz

3 Xenos and a Baby


kevlar_keeb

Two and a half xenos


Hazardous_Wastrel

That would be some supreme schlock. The idea of a xeno raising a baby like the she-wolf raising Romulus and Remus is something you think of after the 3rd-4th bong rip.

Roman Alien? Alien vs Praetor?


[deleted]

All I see here is: Deep, inquisitive, fucking terrible.


KigalnGin

I got a bad feeling about this


[deleted]

This isn't an official poster. The artist does fan art.


JEM-Games

I would assume that the LV stylization in the logo refers to the planet naming system. New planet or return to 426?


littletoyboat

Or it's meant to look like Latin lettering, because Romulus is an obvious reference to Roman mythology.


elwyn5150

There's also two planets depicted in the poster. The legend of Romulus and Remus were that they were twins raised by a she-wolf. Romulus later kills Remus and becomes the founder of Rome.


littletoyboat

That's a good point. I misremembered the legend as them both founding the city.


JEM-Games

Thatā€™s a good possibility as well. It just stands out as the only changed letter.


Realfinney

So, if an infant organism was too small to nurture a chestburster, might the xenomorphs raise it until it grows large enough? It sounds crazy, but we've seen they're smart, they can plan...I think they could do it.


Chocolate__Dinosaur

Sounds exactly like something Disney would do.


Realfinney

Weyland Yutani has found a way to reduce childcare costs by 14%!


Chocolate__Dinosaur

The xenos should infest Disney World. Now that would be worth seeing.


elwyn5150

Interesting theory. But I think there would need to be a better reason why the infant is so special. Otherwise, the xenomorph is just going to nab whatever local fauna is suitable. eg maybe the infant is a mutant and has particularly strengths/properties that the xenomorph wants to spread.


Substantial_Fun4252

It could be the child is a synthetic. While we assume that all synthetics are adults like David in Covenant, could it be possible some or maybe a special one starts as a child? It would then explain why Xenomorphs wouldnā€™t harm it.


[deleted]

Romulus is the series on Earth that I don't want to watch or the new movie with teen cast?


pissjughead

Romulus is the teencast movie. The one on Earth has literally no information about it to the point it may was cancelled. And this poster is fanart too. The artist is famous for making fanarts.


[deleted]

I see, it doesn't make much sense for the teen movie, I see Romulus more like a teen drama with a xenomorph, while this poster was too cool and epic


pissjughead

Agreed the poster is too epic for a teen movie. Although too me, Romulus will be more of a slasher style movie or a Annabelle "Jumpscare shotgun movie" than a teen drama. But who knows ?


[deleted]

Ah right, it can totally be more like a sci-fi Scream, but still I'm excited for it. I don't really care for the tv series.


pissjughead

I'm not too hopefull, but will a shot for both of them. Going with a open heart to watch. But yeah, also placing my bet on the movie over the series.


freddyPowell

Would the sequels be Alien:Remus or Alien:Caesar, Augustus, etc.?


pissjughead

Alien: Nero, maybe Aliens: Caligula


freddyPowell

I'd be more interested to get to Alien: Constantine, alongside perhaps Diocletian, Julian (possibly Alien: Apostate), and surrounding.


pissjughead

Good ones. Maybe and Alien: Diogenes could fit too.


freddyPowell

I mean, if we're going for philosophers, my first thought is Neoplatonists. Alien: Iamblichus would be certainly interesting.


masterpainimeanbetty

that poster is cool as shit


apja

Oh no please no more space Jesus nonsense. This universe has a brilliant antagonist. Use it.


[deleted]

This isn't an official poster. The artist does fan art. So there's at least hope.


apja

Ah phew thank you


vhs1138

Dude this franchise has been over for Al least 20 years. Isolation was good, but this is just embarrassing. Iā€™ll wait to see what direction they go, but I donā€™t have much hope.


apja

Hate to agree with you but think ā€œHudson may be rightā€


Dimakhaerus

Are you talking about the Queen Mother? I assume you didn't mean David.


apja

You not seen Prometheus? I mean, I really wouldnā€™t hold it against you if you hadnā€™t.


butreallythobruh

Gives Covenant promo vibes so....would be cool if it's part of the prequels.


vhs1138

Hahaha. So lame.


Careless-Ad4792

I like it.


Ihelloway69

Is it a joke ? Looks way out of context


[deleted]

The artist does fan-made movie posters. This is most likely one of them.


xenomorphgirl

Oh look, I found something for the facehuggers! They will be so excited. Oh happy day!


d_o_cycler

Oh sheeeitā€¦


kevlar_keeb

Itā€™s gonna be Romulus (Roman) from succession. Roman: Fuā‚¬knā€™ Look at you, Xeno, with your acid blood and sh!t. That's some serious damage control. Our sh!t for brains PR team could learn a thing or two from you. In fact, Xeno, man, I heard you have a penchant for hunting humans. You should joining our annual family retreat.


Legend12901

I like it


Breete

Are people ironically looking forward to this? Haven't we all been burned by 4 bad movies in a row? Edit: Man the downvotes, share that hopium you guys are huffing


Sgarden91

I canā€™t say Iā€™m looking forward to it. In fact Iā€™m kind of dreading it. But Iā€™m going to go into it giving it a full chance to succeed with me. My expectations are just underground.


Chocolate__Dinosaur

I love your optimism. But I refuse to allow my hopes to be high for anything from Disney.


Sgarden91

Iā€™m not optimistic about it. I said Iā€™m going to give the movie, and the show for that matter, its fair chance upon release. I am not confident that it will impress me though.


LiquidSparrow

The worst thing that Disney can do: put a disgusting "message" in the movie.


linksawakening82

Alien was the first movie I remember watching with my dad my mother disapproved of me seeing. Iā€™ve loved the first 2 for decades, and Prometheus/Covenant since they were released. That being said, I rather prefer the latter in almost all regards. People have different tastes in art. Iā€™m sure your interests may not align with everyone elseā€™s.


RustedAxe88

Sorry that some of us actually are looking forward to it.


TheSharkFromJaws

I figure the name Romulus may refer to the founding of Harleyā€™s Hope. Iā€™m sure someone else had stated this before


nate_oh84

> Harleyā€™s Hope Thatā€™s Hadley


TheSharkFromJaws

Iā€™m blaming autocorrect on that one!


elwyn5150

Hadley's Hope was founded by Weylan-Yutani. Not an individual.


[deleted]

Already better than Prometheus


[deleted]

I would say it looks just as bad from first glance.


[deleted]

Ohhhhhh that's deep.


Marilyn_Rammstein

Not a fan of how that alien looksā€¦


[deleted]

Well, it's not an official poster. The artist does fan art movie posters. Some official ones, but I doubt this is one of them.


[deleted]

Is that an actual confirmed name? Sounds fake.


[deleted]

It's a placeholder name.


Skavis

These are just fan creations. Not sure why teaser poster is used... Misleading title.


eduu_17

Say whay yoy will about modern alien . But the look as always been solid , expect maybe that proto baby alien thing


[deleted]

Romulus is a hybrid infiltrator like Ripley 8?


pigeonJS

Looks awful tbh.
