16th August isn't even that far away
I've read that some of the test screening content was leaked and (assuming it's true) it doesn't fill me with a huge amount of hope, but that trailer did what it needed to and hopefully it turns out all right. It's kind of a shame that Ridley is in the driving seat as producer as this will inevitably be a semi-continuation of the Promtheus/Covenant storyline (they even included the blaring siren noise from Prometheus, which I also think was in an Alien trailer?) and I one of the leaks was that this is about
a research station that is trying to harvest the black goo but we'll see. I do feel that the franchise needs a bit of a reset and return to its roots, and some of the imagery certainly provokes that aesthetic.
I very recently finished reading Alien: The Cold Forge which looks to have been a bit of inspiration for this.
