Alien vs. Predator - Timeline


I think "canon" gets away from people, sometimes. I'm not sure he's necessarily saying only the first two films are canon to Alien: Earth, I think he just means he doesn't personally subscribe to those stories and doesn't care to reference anything else. As long as the big parts that audiences consider "sacrosanct" are kept, that's all that matters.

I interpreted it as "Only the first 2 films take place, the others were made by other people to also work with those 2 movies"

Of course, this is untrue, but still an interesting take on it
 
Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Dallas (not Parker) the one who goes into the vents?
Crew Expendable is set between scenes. The vent part has nothing to do with Dallas in the vents because they're different moments in time. It is based on a deleted scene involving Parker.
 
SAY WHAT?!
"This all takes place way in the future after everything that we know from the universe of Alien and Weyland-Yutani and Predator and Alien vs. Predator; all that stuff," explained Rosenblatt. "This is the farthest out [the series has] gone. [And for] the tone of the movie we're trying to strike a balance between all the cool badass stuff that you'd expect out of a Predator film – lots of great action, lots of serious moments, and the badass stuff – but also we want it to be like an adventure film [where] we actually connect with the characters. So that's kind of the balance we're taking."
 
I guess an arbitrary placement based on the lack of information could be:
  • 2025 - 1997 = 28
  • 2381 + 28 = 2409
Based on the release dates between films. It's highly unlikely it takes place in 2409, but, uh, we have nothing to go on.
