Director Fede Álvarez says new and long-time fans of the first two Alien films will be pleasantly surprised by Alien: Romulus.There’s an overwhelming consensus that Alien and Aliens were the best films of the franchise and many consider subsequent installments subpar or even unnecessary. This divide has been evident even in the films where Sigourney Weaver reprised her role as Ellen Ripley; Alien 3 was considered a disappointing culmination of a trilogy, and many considered Alien: Resurrection too ham-fisted to take seriously. In an interview with Variety, director Fede Álvarez explains how Alien: Romulus will attempt to capture the spirit of the first two films while infusing new life into the series. He also revealed that Ridley Scott and James Cameron were heavily involved in developing the latest movie.Álvarez teased how Alien: Romulus would differ from Alien and Aliens while still echoing the tone and vibe of those films. “Obviously Alien and Aliens are very different movies, but we figured out ways with this story to make sure I didn’t have to choose,” he remarked. “The movies get bigger and I’m still there on the floor getting my hands dirty. And that’s really what Ridley and Cameron told me — the only way to make this movie is you have to be involved at every level. These are very handmade movies from their directors, that’s why they’re so unique.”
