I forget who said it first (maybe it was Thomas Edison?) but it really is true: We come to the movies for magic. We need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim and we go somewhere we’ve never been before. For those of us who go to the movies not just to be entertained, but somehow reborn (together), it was a surprisingly good summer at the movies — especially after last summer, which despite Barbenheimermania still included disappointments like Elemental and Gran Turismo, plus outright clunkers like Meg 2: The Trench, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts an...

Alien: Romuluswas clearly made by people who love the Alien franchise. The film is set between the events of Alien and Aliens. It directly references events and people from Alien as well as its prequel, Prometheus. And it contains all sorts of subtler Easter eggs from throughout the entire franchise, even from less-popular entries like Alien: Resurrection. Showing how Alien: Romulus fits into the Alien timeline, and highlighting all these franchise connections big and small is the subject of our latest video. Did you spot the similarities between the end of this film and Prometheus? What about...

Alien: Romulusis the ninth film in the Alien franchise that started way back in 1989 with Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi horror movie. That includes sequels, prequels, and even a couple crossovers with the Predator franchise. And the new Romulus movie actually draws pretty heavily on the existing lore of the series — mostly from Alien, but also from Aliens, Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, and even some of the other sequels. If you missed any of the Alien movies through the years, or you just want a refresher before Alien: Romulus, our latest video is here to help. It recaps 45 years of Alien movies,...

The references to previous Alien movies in Alien: Romulus start with the logo for 20th Century Studios, which holds on an ominous musical note in the classic Fox fanfare a la the famous opening of Alien 3. The first actual scene of the movie is a reference too — not to Alien itself,but to its marketing. “In space,” warned the 1979 film’s tagline, “no one can hear you scream.” And so Alien: Romulus’ establishing shot of a ship gliding through stars plays over absolute silence. The camera hurtles noiselessly toward the craft, and then up to one of its windows. Only when the movie cuts to a scene...

20th Century Studios is billing Alien: Romulus as a sort of a franchise reset; taking this iconic horror series back to where it all began with a straight-ahead genre movie with creepy xenomorphs chasing working-class astronauts through an isolated spaceship. But the new trailer for Alien: Romulus also makes the new film look a lot less spare, and way more gory than the Ridley Scott original. Instead of one facehugger there are all sorts of them leaping out at the human cast (led by Priscilla and Civil War’s Cailee Spaeny). The aliens don’t just burst out of people’s chests, they use fancy fut...

Given the series’ roots in sci-fi horror, it’s sort of odd that it’s taken this long for someone to try to bring Alien back to its original (and massively successful) conception as a haunted house in space. The guy who finally did it is Fede Alvarez, maybe the purest horror director the Alien series has ever had; he previously made the Evil Dead remake and the first Don’t Breathe. Alvarez’s take on Alien: Romulusseems pretty simple: What if there was another Alien movie a lot like the original one? And what if there was a brave woman at the center of the adventure (Priscilla’s Cailee Spaeny) a...
