Happy Alien Day! It’s April 26th, which is the day fans of Ridley Scott‘s original “Alien” and James Cameron‘s followup “Aliens” celebrate all things Xenomorph and Weyland-Yutani. This morning, filmmaker Fede Alvarez shared an image, seemingly confirming production on his upcoming “Alien: Romulus” film has begun.
David Jonsson (“Industry“), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone“), Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu have joined already announced star Cailee Spaeny in the project from 20th Century Studios.
Rodo Sayagues co wrote the script with Alvarez. Franchise creator Ridley Scott will produce the untitled “Alien” film via Scott Free, along with Michael Pruss.
This project is NOT the same as Noah Hawley‘s gestating earth-bound tv series set in the same universe.
We’ll let you know what else gets shared about this and other news.
