August 16, 2024Fede Álvarez 'Alien: Romulus' Interview | Ridley Scott's Notes, Recreating 1980s Horror & More
“Alien: Romulus” is finally arriving in theaters this weekend, and folks, it’s a must-see. Filmmaker Fede Álvarez returns to the show to chat with us about how he took on the classic action-horror franchise and made it his own while still rooting us in the familiar universe we love.
The level of detail he and his team brought to the project is truly incredible, and he goes into great detail in our interview about recreating that 1980s horror feel. We also chat about his incredible cast including Cailee Spaeney and David Jonsson, the pair set in the emotional heart of the whole movie. We get teases for some Easter eggs and dangling threads for fans to sniff out, and even a big spoiler moment we can’t wait to share. That said, we are waiting. Stay tuned to our channels to be the first to see that amazing bit from the interview as soon as it drops.
After the interview, stick around for our thoughts on the film, as well as an Alien franchise director-themed game.
