Director Fede Alvarez pushed for a VHS copy of his ALIEN: ROMULUS home release. The filmmaker reveals why it was important for him to release the new ALIEN movie on an old-school format. The latest entry in the ALIEN franchise is available now on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and the Limited Edition VSH, in addition to digital retailers (Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home).
ALIEN: ROMULUS takes the phenomenally successful ALIEN franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (CIVIL WAR), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (AFTERSUN), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (ALIEN), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (UNSTOPPABLE) serving as executive producers.
