Director Fede Alvarez, best known for “Don’t Breathe” and 2013’s “Evil Dead” remake, also wrote the screenplay, which reboots the science-fiction horror franchise. It’s the seventh “Alien” movie following 2017’s “Alien: Covenant.”
Although the cast hasn’t been finalized, the studio hopes it will be able to get the cameras rolling by early 2023. Ridley Scott is producing the untitled “Alien” installment, having directed the original 1979 movie as well as two sequels, 2012’s “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant.” Alvarez will also serve as a producer.
Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skerritt starred in the first “Alien,” which follows the crew of a spacecraft who comes in contact with a mysterious extraterrestrial. It became a major box office hit with $184 million worldwide on its $11 million budget, prompting several sequels and spinoffs including 1986’s “Aliens,” 1993’s “Alien 3” and 1997’s “Alien Resurrection.” It also spurred two crossover films, 2004’s “Alien vs. Predator” and 2007’s “Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
Plot details for Alvarez’s version haven’t been revealed. But like its predecessors, it’s expected to focus on the battle between ferocious alien beings called Xenomorphs and the humans that dare to cross their paths.Ann Presley. Sofia Coppola is directing the A24 film, which stars Jacob Elordi as the King of Rock and Roll.
Should have been Matilda Lutz
Alien doesn't need a reboot.
Stop calling everything a fucking reboot. It's just another sequel, you clown journalists. Words matter
Please don’t ruin another film from youth
I don't think Ridley Scott is a good choice creatively for the Alien property, specifically. He hasn't made a good Alien film since the original. And it's 86 sequel was arguably better, if tonally different. They should look to the team behind 'Prey' to guide this.
“Alien” does not need to be rebooted. Is there a concern that the alien itself isn’t woke enough 😂😂😂
