Fede Alvarez's ALIEN: ROMULUS is now streaming on Hulu and is available on VOD. In our chat with the director/cowriter, Alvarez (DON'T BREATHE, EVIL DEAD) tells CineMovie that fans can now hit pause and uncover more Easter Eggs at home. The filmmaker also confirms the pod seen in the finale is indeed Ripley's escape shuttle, the Narcissus.
ALIEN: ROMULUS takes the phenomenally successful ALIEN franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (CIVIL WAR), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (AFTERSUN), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (ALIEN), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (UNSTOPPABLE) serving as executive producers.
