With two new entries in the Alien franchise coming helmed by new creators, I’m excited about the universe again. Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus is being presented as a return to the horror-forward approach of the first movie, a perfect fit for his horror background.
On the small screen, Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley will be helming Alien: Earth which remains a massive unknown in terms of plot and tone, which is almost as exciting.
I’m eternally grateful to Ridley Scott for making Alien but I think the further he’s kept from the franchise the better off it will be. The gritty, dark, mysterious world he created seems fundamentally at odds with the style he’s grown into and I’m glad to see him pass the reigns to a new generation of creators.
There’s no guarantee these new versions of the universe will be great, or even good, but at least it’s trying something new and that’s enough to get me excited about seeing Xenomorphs again.
