Alien: Romulus Star Reveals Funny Advice Given By Ridley Scott

As a long-time fan of the Alien franchise, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Alien: Romulus next month. The fact that it’s the first new Alien project from Fox since their acquisition by Disney and the potential kickstart for a second life for the franchise is incredibly exciting.


The upcoming film “Alien: Romulus” carries significant anticipation as it marks the first release from the “Alien” franchise by Fox since their acquisition by Disney. The studio is banking on a reception akin to that of the successful “Planet of the Apes: Kingdom of the Apes.” With an upcoming “Alien” TV series in development, enthusiasts are optimistic about the potential resurgence of this beloved franchise.

The new movie is a follow-up to Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi horror film “Alien,” continuing the storyline and terror from the original. Ridley Scott has endorsed this production, boosting its credibility. Co-star David Jonsson shares that Scott gave him some harsh but valuable guidance for his role.

Next month, when “Alien: Romulus” is released, audiences will meet David Jonsson, the newest addition to the esteemed lineage of android characters in this franchise. Given the significant role androids have played in previous films and are expected to continue playing in this upcoming movie, there’s undoubtedly a great deal of pressure on Jonsson to deliver an impressive performance. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the actor shared that Ridley Scott personally urged him not to disappoint. Jonsson elaborated on this conversation.

Based on my own experiences and observations, it seems that having the unwavering support of those around me is crucial for my personal growth and success. When I was given the responsibility to take on a significant role in a project, I felt both challenged and encouraged by the trust placed in me by the studio, Fede, and the team. This confidence boosted my self-assurance and enabled me to rise to the occasion, delivering my best work. It’s not just about having the skills or abilities; it’s also about feeling valued and believed in that makes all the difference.

In their motivational talks, I’ve encountered more captivating ones, but David Jonsson appeared grateful for Ridley Scott’s encouraging words. He also praises Fede Alvarez, the film’s director, for allowing him to have creative autonomy and not keeping a tight rein on his character portrayal.

In the “Alien: Romulus” production, Jonsson takes on the role of Andy, a robot companion to Cailee Spaeny’s character, Rain. As part of the crew, they embark on an adventure, intending to explore a deserted space station. However, an unpleasant surprise awaits them as they find the facility infested with Xenomorphs – the terrifying creatures synonymous with the “Alien” franchise. Unfortunately, it’s likely that many of the cast members will meet their end during this harrowing encounter.

Ridley Scott’s endorsement of “Alien: Romulus” is significant because the director seldom approves of films based on his work. Known for his frankness, Scott has expressed disapproval towards sequels to his movies that he didn’t direct, including some Alien and Blade Runner installments. He even regrets not helming the Blade Runner sequel himself.

As a long-time fan of the Alien franchise, I’ve seen my fair share of twists and turns in the series. But the latest news about Romulus, the newest addition to the saga, has piqued my interest in a unique way.
