Introduction to Alien: Romulus

The science fiction film series "Alien" has been a staple of the genre since its launch in 1979 by Ridley Scott. With the latest installment, "Alien: Romulus," set to be released in cinemas this week, seven years after the previous one, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the series. The director, Fedy Alvarez, has shared his insights into the beginnings of the famous series, which date back to his adolescence in Uruguay.

The Inspiration Behind the Series

The new action production, led by Ridley Scott, who returned to the helm in the 21st century with "Prometheus" in 2012 and "Alien: Covenant" in 2017, has strayed from the spiritual beginnings of the series. However, Fedy Alvarez, known for his work on films like "Evil Dead" and "Don’t Breathe," believes that the first two films of the series are "essential" to his work and to cinema in general. Alvarez emphasized that he drew inspiration from these beginnings, which have had a lasting impact on the film industry.

A Return to the Roots

The history of the film, which takes place in a closed environment, goes back to the time when the events of the first two films occurred, where teams of travelers must confront the presence of strange and terrifying aliens. Alvarez decided to return to the bloody and terrifying spirit of the first part, incorporating famous scenes from the original series, including the iconic scene of the parasitic creature emerging from its human host. The 46-year-old director also drew inspiration from Ridley Scott’s visual style, describing him as "one of the greatest directors of this kind."

The Making of Alien: Romulus

Alvarez described the film "Alien: Romulus" as "very ambitious." He added, "If you choose this film, you know what you’re getting yourself into, one way or another." In line with the series’ tradition, young actress Cailee Spaeny plays the lead role in "Alien: Romulus." The film promises to deliver the same level of suspense and horror that fans of the series have come to expect.

A New Chapter in the Series

With the release of "Alien: Romulus," fans can expect a new and thrilling chapter in the series. The film’s return to its horror roots, combined with its ambitious storyline and talented cast, makes it a must-see for fans of science fiction and horror. As the series continues to evolve, one thing is certain – the Alien franchise remains a staple of the science fiction genre, and its impact will be felt for years to come.
