It looks like there’s going to be another home release for ALIEN Romulus. Mentioned on the movie’s Alien Romulus Facebook page the movie will also be available for VHS. Yes. That’s correct, VHS. A long redundant format but nonetheless an essential and important technology in the history of home entertainment.This will be a limited edition release of the movie. I wonder if it will be locked into NTSC format? This follows on the tail of a previously released promotional excerpt of the movie sent to News outlets on VHS tape a couple of months ago. This release is no doubt intended to celebrate the anachronistic 1970s and 1980s style tech prominently on display throughout the movie. No additional details or price is available. I’m still waiting for an official announcement regarding a physical release on DVD or BluRay to be made here in Australia. While it may be a fun item to add an old school video cassette to any collection, a retro VHS tape requiring prehistoric (Anything before the internet was publicly available) hardware to work just won’t be adequate.
