Group of salvagers hired to retrieve something of value from a derelict craft (space station) but in reality the black guy robot is sent from 'the company' to retrieve alien specimen.
Is that the plot?

Sigourney was only 29 when Alien was released, Veronica Cartwright 30, the age difference isn't that great. Andy Android is 31. I guess the intent though is they are playing younger people.

That's a fantastic plot! You should work in Hollywood. I'd see that with the right cast.

Yeah but Skerritt was 45, Stanton was 52, Hurt was 38, Holm was 47 and Kotto was 39 so that highlights two things, the average age was much higher than most other Alien films especially this one and that the original cast was much more diverse in age.
In Space, no one knows your age.

I don't think we wanted to see Skerritt's butt as he gets into the space suit.

I’ve been searching online and there’s hardly any product tie ins for the move.
No books, magazines and the only figures are Funko-pops, shudder!

They probably got burned with Prometheus and Covenant, so they will wait and see how the movie does before launching into any merch. If there's one thing about Alien merch is that it has longevity.

Still holds up today.
As a kid just appreciating how something could be both terrifyingly beautifully engineered/sculpted functional toy and art.

Regal describes this as a "collectible." Another bucket?

Yeah, you’re probably right man.
But I want it now! It’s been over a year since I bought an Alien figure, and I’m Jonesing bad!

I will be really unimpressed if they do any human characters from this over another Ripley

I would think there's precisely zero chance of any human figures. It would have to be a massive success, and irrespective of the movie's qualities, it seems to me that people are hungry for new(er) stuff. Look at TGM's success, as well as Dune and now Twister. Granted, only Dune qualifies as new (sort of), but the Alien franchise has been way more prolific than Twister and Top Gun

Oh I agree. Just saying if in that 0.00000001 percentage chance it happens I will be furious. HT are renowned for whack announcements.I would think there's precisely zero chance of any human figures.

No need to worry there. Won't even get a Xeno from them.

Remember back in the day when hot toys teased the human figures from predators? Good times lolI would think there's precisely zero chance of any human figures.

I got the Adrien Brody character, it was a damn fine figure!
Same, I sold it in a cut-back period but I liked the figure, and Brody in the movie for that matter.

The movie wasn't bad at all, it was a solid entry in the Predator franchise, as far as I'm concerned.
