'Alien' Celebrating 40th Anniversary With 6 Short Films

As it was anticipated, the 6 short films that won the Tongal / Fox competition will be soon released. The new movies will launch first at Emerald City Comic-Con in Seattle this weekend. They will then be released weekly online by the entertainment site IGN beginning March 29, before being added to AlienUniverse.com and the @AlienAnthology social media channels alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes content starting May 5. However, the official debut of the project comes at this week’s Emerald City Comic-Con in Seattle, where a selection of material from the project will be screened on Friday, with an additional screening set for March 23 at C2E2 in Chicago and March 30 at WonderCon in Anaheim.

Thanks to THR for the news.

More details and official description of the shorts can be found here.

VivisectedEngineer Signs of Life is a good short, but it was not part of the IGN shorts series.

Oh, you're right! What is it exactly? Actually...maybe I should create a separate thread just to talk about "Signs of Life" because... is it canon?

Does that mean humans returned to Planet 4 and found David's lab? Is it a preview for another movie?? What's going on here!? Man, I've missed a lot!

The expression (ticked all the boxes) makes sense but what in it did you like? I try to understand since it unfortunately is something that I am not a fan of. People have different opinions when it comes to alien things but that's alright. Can you explain it more in detail? Thanks

Specimen was alright, I liked the environment that they were in. Here is a short clip with the director of Specimen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSAt9oO_1is
