Alien: Romulus will be a mix between Alien and Aliens
Director Fede Álvarez teases his film and tries to raise the temperature among fans.
To resume Alien hands of Ridley Scott is no small feat. The director of the original 1979 film, who helmed the franchise's final two installments with Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017), passed the torch to Fede Alvarezwho obviously tried to fit into the legacy Alien.
He thus promises, in an interview with Empire, that his film Alien: Romulus will be inspired by previous films and in particular by the two favorites: Alien from 1979 and beyond Aliens, the return from 1986.
“Ask a fanAlien choosing between these two films is a perverse question“have fun first Fede Alvarez before telling:
“So, I asked myself: 'How can I do both in one?' We mixed the two. In the sense that our characters are walking, at one point, in places that look familiar to Nostromo. Then they cross and on the other side: boom! You're in a corridor that looks like the Hadley's Hope colony on planet LV-426!”
We will see how Fede Alvarez achieved this best of both worlds in Alien: Romulus which will be released in theaters on August 14, 2024 in France.
Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) will succeed Sigourney Weaver, Noomi Rapace and Katherine Waterston. She will be surrounded by David Jonsson (You and me ?), Isabella Merced (The Last of Us), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (Aftersun) and Aileen Wu to face a new Xenomorph.
This is the 7th official Alien film (not counting its derivatives Alien vs. Predator) since 1979, but its plot will only take into account the stories of the first two episodes, The Eighth Passenger by Ridley Scott and Aliensby James Cameron (1986).
