I guess it won't be happening now. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/buffy-gossip-girl-actress-michelle-trachtenberg-dead-39/story?id=119215091 Now I can't ever watch Buffy or Friends knowing that one of the major cast member on each series has passed away and passed too young.

Produced by Ridley Scott. I think Scott made the right decision to pick it up when director Fede Alvarez showed him the script asking him for his input and opinion because it's looking good! ALIEN: Romulus was originally written to be a direct to HULU production like that awful last Predator movie Prey. I am so glad they changed their mind and made it into a theatrical film.
