Get ready for an epic revival of the Alien franchise as Fede Álvarez's highly anticipated new movie wraps filming, bringing us one step closer to a thrilling Xenomorph tale like never before
The Alien franchise's long-awaited return is near as Fede Álvarez's new movie has finished filming. Dating back to its origins in 1979, the Alien franchise encompasses six films, not counting its collaborations with the Predator franchise. Ridley Scott, the original director, has now passed on the torch to Álvarez for a fresh installment, known for his work on Don't Breathe and the 2013 Evil Dead remake. While many details about Álvarez's Alien film are still unknown, Collider reports that principal photography has wrapped, bringing it closer to its theatrical release. Now, the focus turns to post-production and the extensive visual effects work ahead.
What To Expect From Fede Álvarez's New Alien Movie
The new Alien movie, currently untitled but rumored to be called Alien: Romulus, raises more questions than answers. However, we do have confirmation of the talented cast, including Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu. Although the plot details remain undisclosed, this standalone story diverges from the prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, making it a unique experience. Moreover, fans will not see Sigourney Weaver reprising her iconic role as Ripley, as the actress has confirmed her departure from the franchise. While the exact timeline of the film is uncertain, its standalone nature may render this detail less significant.
The upcoming Alien movie will not feature any recognizable actors, but a behind-the-scenes photo shared in April hints that facehuggers and a familiar spaceship design will be included. Although the film's age rating has not been determined, Álvarez's previous work suggests that it could be a highly violent and gory production, potentially surpassing the violence seen in Scott's previous entries. Now that filming for the new Alien movie has concluded, more details about the project are expected to be revealed in the upcoming months as the anticipated release in August 2024 approaches.
