As a seasoned gamer and film enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I have to say that the latest teaser from Alien: Romulus has me intrigued, to say the least! The director’s cryptic comments about Ripley’s potential involvement in the new movie have set the internet ablaze with speculation.
The recently released film titled “Romulus” follows a pattern observed in some top-tier horror movie series, where they’ve opted to create direct sequels to the initial film instead of building upon previous installments’ endings. Unlike movies such as Halloween or The Exorcist: Believer, which essentially disregard all their prior sequels, the new Alien movie sits between the first two films in the franchise. This means that the narrative timeline and Ripley’s storyline, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, unfolds as fans have come to know it within the existing Alien series.
Is there any connection beyond the Xenomorphs, between the newly released movie and the legendary sci-fi films Alien and Aliens, considered among the greatest of all time? Will Ripley’s story, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, who is in a state of suspended animation between sequels, feature in any way in this new film? In the video above, director Fede Álvarez was asked about this on our Reelblend podcast, and he chose not to answer, emphasizing…
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that she might have played some role in the events over the years since she’s been absent. However, due to legal constraints, I can’t provide further details.
Álvarez appearing tight-lipped due to legal constraints might seem unusual, but it’s not entirely surprising if his contract includes a non-disclosure clause about spoilers. Given the efforts made by studios to keep spoilers under wraps, this scenario isn’t out of the ordinary.
In a more relaxed and conversational tone, here’s one way of rephrasing that statement: The film director hinted that a specific character “might” have appeared in the story, but it seems obvious that Álvarez already knows the answer. Either there are hints to Ripley in the movie or there aren’t. The director is carefully dodging spoilers since our interview took place before the release of Alien: Romulus, which is understandable given the situation. You can read the entire interview below.
Essentially, it seems like the answer is yes, there might be hints of Ripley in Alien: Romulus. Director Fede Álvarez suggests that while there aren’t any direct references to Ripley in the new film, there are subtleties or details that he expects many viewers won’t pick up on during their initial viewing. He elaborated…
How about this: Could you please repeat the question as I’ll be more than happy to answer it once I’ve given people a chance to watch my upcoming movie? In this film, there are several hidden answers to your question cleverly concealed and yet obvious at the same time. I’m counting on someone watching the movie multiple times and suddenly realizing, ‘Hold on, hold on, hold on.’ Before going completely puzzled over some subtle clues that I’ve strategically placed within the film.
Last night marked the premiere of “Alien: Romulus”. Some viewers might have already deciphered what Fede Álvarez is hinting at in his statements. With a wider audience expected to watch the movie over the weekend, it’s possible that more people will spot these subtle references. Even though they might be cleverly concealed, it seems plausible that at least a few viewers will catch on.
