An Alien: Romulus sequel was confirmed a short time in the past now, and it seems like director Fede Alvarex is hoping to do one thing totally different with it.
When Alien: Romulus arrived in cinemas final yr it did so with a little bit of a combined response. Audiences usually responded to it nicely, however critics had been much less impressed, although there have been loads of followers of the collection that weren’t offered on it both. Criticisms included issues prefer it being too reliant on earlier entries within the collection, and that terrible Ian Holms CGI (which has been touched up a bit for the house launch). None of that issues a lot when the field workplace numbers are sturdy, although, and Alien: Romulus did very properly there, securing itself a sequel. Now, in an interview with Empire, director Fede Alvarez has teased his concepts for a follow-up, saying he needs to go to “a spot within the Alien franchise that we’ve by no means been earlier than.”
The director defined, “Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I are engaged on that proper now. We’re enthusiastic about the place it could possibly go. We’ve virtually checked the entire packing containers of issues that I wish to see [in Romulus], and introduced again a number of the issues I hadn’t seen shortly. Wherever we go now, we will go into uncharted waters.” He teased that the story would proceed to observe Cailee Spaeny’s character Rain. “I believe it’ll be so thrilling to go together with characters from this film, to a spot within the Alien franchise that we’ve by no means been earlier than, and to find issues that you just’ve by no means seen earlier than.”
That does not imply Alvarez is not staying cautious although, noting the historical past of sequels being made merely for the sake of it. “The error often with sequels is to make them as a result of you may, and due to the success of Romulus, we positively could make a sequel,” he stated. “However I wouldn’t do it until now we have a extremely good concept for it, one thing that’s worthy of the title.”
Whether or not it does find yourself being a worthy sequel, we most likely will not know for some time, however let’s hope they do not deliver again one other lifeless actor for the sake of nostalgia factors. Plus you may’t simply throw one other bizarre alien in there, that is been achieved in like each Alien movie because the first one.
