| Quote: | The filmmaker behind Don’t Breathe, and 2013’s remake of Evil Dead has been tapped to write and direct an original standalone Alien feature for 20th Century Studios.
Ridley Scott, who directed the original sci-fi horror movie released in 1979 and returned for two 21st century installments, will produce via his Scott Free banner. The project is intended to be made for Hulu as part of 20th Century’s ambitions to make more than 10 movies a year for the Disney-owned streaming service.
Alvarez’s take is being kept deep inside the studio’s chest, but sources describe it as unconnected to the previous movies.
According to sources, Alvarez is a rabid fan of the franchise and casually pitched a take to Scott many years ago. The idea remained implanted in Scott’s brain until late last year when he called Alvarez out of the blue and asked him if the younger filmmaker was still up for it. Alvarez didn’t have to be asked twice.
20th Century picked up the project “purely off the strength of Fede’s pitch,” said division president Steve Asbell. “It was just a really good story with a bunch of characters you haven’t seen before.”
Asbell, who recently spoke to THR about the future of 20th Century Studios, said by doing the project for Hulu, there wouldn’t be the pressure to whittle down the potential edginess that could come with theatrical considerations. “It’s not a film that has to be all things to all people with those gargantuan budgets. They get to be authentically what they are. And this is closer to its genre roots.” |

Even if it's as a co-producer, if scott is anywhere near this chances still are that it will be another waste of an alien movie

I liked the Evil Dead remake and also Don't Breath. As long as he doesn't listen to Scott too much, it could work out just fine

Yep, and also the fact that it's not being made for theaters, means he can do some interesting stuff with it.

Member that one director that wanted to do alien movie, got it greenlit and things were going well and Scott axed the movie because it didn't work with his vision?
If Scott allows any canon breaking creativity then it's a win for the franchise.

| Quote: | Rising actress Cailee Spaeny (“Mare of Easttown”) is in talks to lead the next “Alien” movie at 20th Century Studios.
“Don’t Breathe” and “Evil Dead” remake director Fede Alvarez wrote the script and is directing the feature which will reboot the franchise according to the franchise (how it fits in is unclear).
Ridley Scott will produce via his Scott Free banner with Alvarez also producing. The project will mark the seventh official “Alien” film (not counting the two AvP films).
Spaeny’s casting continue the franchise’s tradition of a strong female lead at the center. She is currently shooting Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla”. |

They just started shooting it, so no, that's a fake (fan-made) trailer.

I still watch 1979 Alien at least once a year. Especially the 4k Bluray, the HDR is amazingly well done. What a movie. They might as well stop making them because theyre never going to top it.

“Alien: Romulus”
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18412256/
Looking at the cast, it’s about a poor xenomorph stuck on a spaceship, filled with a bunch of Gen Z twats. Poor thing!
By the end of the flick, the originchallengedmorph (pronouns: xoom/xerox) turns activist to normalize egg-laying male queens.

The edit adds an additional plot point. Sorry for the ending spoiler!

Ewww they even got dora the explora |
With Romulus in the title I expect at least one of the kids to be raised by the rainbow hive and suckle on the teat of the ̶m̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ father xeroxmorph at some point. Luke would be proud!  |

| Quote: | According to star Cailee Spaeny in a new chat with Variety, the untitled Alien movie takes place in between the first two films.
| Quote: | “It’s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie,” Spaeny tells the outlet. “They brought the same team from Aliens, the James Cameron film. The same people who built those xenomorphs actually came on and built ours.
“So getting to see the original design with the original people who have been working on these films for 45-plus years and has been so much of their life has been really incredible.” |
