his scripts always seem like they have had any trace of genuine emotion surgically extracted and replaced with a blase attitude to violence without much interest in the actual etiology and effects of real violence
Chronicle?
It's like the opposite of that.
i feel like chronicle is uninterested in violence per se; its interested in a "realistic" take on superpowers. it is fetishistic about the effects of the power itself rather than the consequences of the violence
this is a running theme in every film since; an interest in the mechanisms by which violence is done and assassins (american ultra, dirk gently, mr right) but a deeply glib approach to its consequences. this isnt necessarily a terrible thing, its simply one note

I don't think this is accurate at all. Chronicle is very interested in the consequences of the violence. The film isn't about how the violence is done so much as the psychological states of it's 3 protagonists and their inevitable implosion and the violence employed in the film is meant to be disturbing because the whole point of that violence is that one of the characters is falling apart due to lack of emotional support and doing incredibly fucked up things as it happens. The violence exists to showcase his deteriorating mental state and moment where he decides to be really "bad-ass" quickly becomes a huge fucking shitshow and kills people.

Yeah you could substitute super powers with cocaine, machine guns, throwing knives, high school sports, whatever and the main story behind Chronicle would still work. The super powers are like the zombies in The Walking Dead, they're a side note to the main plot.
That Alien trailer looks awesome but I also own Prometheus on Bluray and am a huge Alien fanboy so my opinion gets a grain of salt. It looks like Alien, Prometheus and even a little Aliens (with the crew having actual weapons and there being aggressive, fast xenomorphs on screen) got thrown in a blender.
And I get the feeling that the Covenant crew might be there to start to set up the equipment and facilities that are supposed to be the foundation for that colony and then more waves of colonists would show up once they can support them.

That looks like shitty cosplay with brutal CG to me....

so it's like the Expanse?
edit: I am curious of how a live action version of Terra Formars will work when the anime was so violent that it looked like this on prime time TV

Terra Formars should have been done by Yoshihiro Nishimura so then it could at least live up to the manga.
