Director Fede Alvarez has provided the first sneak peak into his upcoming ALIEN movie currently being shot. This “behind the scenes” image appeared on his Twitter account today. Visible in the image is a facehugger grasping a clapperboard inside a moodily lit corridor. The art direction and set design looks like it’s been lifted straight out of ALIEN Isolation. Especially that EMERGENCY console visible at right. A large distinct and recognisable WY logo partially obscured by darkness in the center right of frame also hints at the time period this movie will take place, sometime around the time of ALIENS.

Details of the new movie, with the working title of ALIEN Romulus, are scant right now but it is currently being shot by 20th Century Studios in Budapest, Hungary and produced by Ridley Scott. ALIEN Romulus is not a continuation of the open ended prequel ALIEN Covenant released in 2017 and is expected to be released sometime next year on Disney’s Hulu service. Thank you Fede for sharing this promotional image with us. It’s great to have you recognise and celebrate ALIEN Day with us. Fresh details of Noah Hawley’s upcoming ALIEN television series are still forthcoming.
