Then Ridley Scott's prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant - they were earlier chronologically, but for me, starting with them without the original films is not a good idea.
And last year's "Alien: Romulus" may be the last, as it's a kind of mix of everything in this franchise, but it's also good.
Maybe a Butterfly and a Witch Doctor)
The rest is past..
The rest is not interesting
Visually, the cast is very pleasing, just to my taste. I hope the plot will be no less good.
"The Rainmaker" - xs. It was like a Coppola movie with Matt Damon and Danny DeVito. What else do they want to bring to the series?
