ALIEN: ROMULUS star reveals film’s story takes place between ALIEN and ALIENS

The star of Fede Alvarez’S Alien: Romulus, Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), offered some interesting insights into the film’s story. While the film will tell a standalone story, not connected to any of the previous Alien films, the film’s timeline is set between Ridley Scott’S Alien AND James Cameron’S Aliens.

During an interview with Variety, the actress said: “It should fit between the first and second films. They brought the same team from Aliens, the film by James Cameron. The same people who built those xenomorphs actually came and built ours. So to see the original design with the original people who worked on these films for over 45 years and were so much a part of their lives was truly incredible.

Alien: Romulus follows a “group of young people in a distant world who find themselves confronted with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”

The film is “disconnected” from the previous films and the story is set in another corner of the universe. Alvarez’s initial pitch was said to be a “really good story with a lot of characters you’ve never seen before”.

I can’t wait for this movie and hope Alvarez makes a great Alien movie. Ridley Scott loved it, so that’s a plus! He told the director it was “fantastic”.

The film is also the protagonist Isabela Mercede and they are united by David Jonsson (Industry), Archie Renaux (Shadow and bones), Spike Fearn (After sun) and newcomer Aileen Wu.

Alvarez directs the screenplay he wrote Rodo Sayagues. Ridley Scott he is also a producer of the film along with Michael Pruss (The Boston Strangler) for Scott Free, with Brent O’Connor (High speed train), Elizabeth Cantillon (Persuasion) AND Tom Moran (The king of donuts) as executive producers.
