Listen "ALIEN: EARTH Trailer Confirms Place in the ALIEN Timeline"
Episode Synopsis
The upcoming film Alien: Romulus is officially set in the timeline between the first two films, Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986).The story takes place during the 57-year period when Ellen Ripley was in hypersleep. It follows a new, younger cast of characters described as "space colonizers" who are scavenging a derelict space station. Inevitably, they encounter the deadly Xenomorphs and must fight for their lives.Key takeaways from the article include:Standalone Story: The film is a self-contained story that doesn't require knowledge of the prequels (Prometheus and Covenant) and features an entirely new cast.Return to Roots: Directed by Fede Álvarez (known for horror films like Don't Breathe and Evil Dead), the film aims to blend the claustrophobic, tense horror of the original Alien with the action-oriented elements of Aliens.Classic "Haunted House in Space": By focusing on a new crew in a confined setting, the film returns to the core concept of the original movie, moving away from the grander mythology of the prequels.Practical Effects: The director's preference for practical effects suggests a gritty, tangible feel similar to the early films in the franchise.Visit https://nerdist.com/article/alien-earth-trailer-confirms-place-in-franchise-timeline/ to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) Hosted on Acast.
