Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez teases a potential new Alien vs. Predator movie which he might co-direct with Dan Trachtenberg.

Alien: Romulus is now taking part in in theaters and is already on monitor to develop into a giant success (however not with out controversy) with rave opinions and a projected $40M+ opening. I’m certain the sequel wheels are already turning, however Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez teased a special technique to develop the franchise: one other Predator crossover.

Not solely that, however he teased that he might rope Prey director Dan Trachtenberg into doing it with him. “Maybe it’s something I have to co-direct with my buddy Dan,” Álvarez advised Deadline. “Maybe we should always do like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did with Dusk Till Dawn. I’ll direct a half, and he’ll direct one other half. It depends upon how effectively this (Romulus) does, if individuals need to see that.“

The first Alien vs. Predator movie was launched in 2004, and whereas it was largely trashed upon its debut, I discovered the movie to be good enjoyable. The sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, might be the worst movie of both franchise. It’s potential there’s one thing to get pleasure from in there, however your entire movie was simply swathed in darkness; even the daylight scenes appeared overly dim.

Set between the occasions of Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus follows “a group of young people on a distant world who find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.” The movie stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Industry), Isabela Merced (Madame Web), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (The Batman), and Aileen Wu (Away from Home). In addition to directing the movie, Fede Álvarez additionally co-wrote the script alongside Rodo Sayagues.

The movie has been receiving largely constructive opinions, with our personal Chris Bumbray calling it the most effective installment of the long-running franchise for the reason that first two good films. However, that’s to not say that there aren’t a couple of clunky moments that detract from an in any other case kick-ass movie. “The fact that director Fede Alvarez was able to make a slam-bang Alien sequel that trumps every other film in the franchise, save the first two, is cause for celebration,” Bumbray wrote. “Yet, it does suffer from the fact that its director was perhaps hampered in his effort to make a lean and mean Alien movie with an ill-advised directive to connect the film to Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. This leaves the film feeling like it’s 75% kick-ass, and 25% space bio-engineering nonsense.” You can learn the remainder of Bumbray’s evaluate proper right here.
