Think it worked for Rogue One, not so much here.
Show a couple of experiments, s
t gets out of hand , no weapons so fashion a few out of what they have, decide to barricade themselves in as a last stand and the Aliens still get in and take everyone to the cooling tower.
End story.
Not enough to work with for a full feature imo, maybe as a short.

From the Xenomorph point of view, they thought they’d dealt with the pesky human infestation, but Newt is like the last little alien baby the survives at the end of the film as the credits roll.
Someone please take my credit cards off me and cut them up...

Snap... I bought that book when I was on my design degree. Agreed, it's cracking. Birth Machine is my favourite piece.

I originally bought it as a present for my nephew, but it's so charming I just kept it to show him when he comes round. Need to get the other Jonsey book as well.
There’s a documentary on Alien that I’ve only just discovered. Well worth watching (despite the slightly odd opening).

It was on film4 last week too, have it recorded but not yet watched it.Memory: The Origins of Alien
Alien is my absolute favourite film.
I must be one of very few people that like A3 and AR almost as much as the first two.
They could've gone overboard and upped the ammo count after Aliens but instead chose a more pared back single alien against a low tech foe. Dodgy CGI aside, the characters i feel are decently fleshed out and there are some great scenes and dialogue.
AR went big again with the visuals, good cast, good quotes, good cinematography. Winona Ryder lets it down a touch, and the ending is a teeny bit clunky.
Prometheus just about gets a pass, too many silly horror tropes coming to the fore whereas they had been pretty serious movies before.
Covenant.... the first third works out ok.. then it dissolves in MF love in and the ending is just diabolically lifted wholesale from Aliens.
Not sure where RS can go to revive this, obviously he likes the creator storyline and world around it, but for me that doesn't make a great "alien" movie
Really would've liked to have seen Neil Blomkamp have a go at it
