After rebooting 'Evil Dead' and following up with 'Don't Breathe,' the filmmaker returns with 'Alien: Romulus,' which he approached as a Ridley Scott fan first.
Fede Álvarez was 12 in 1990 when he pressed play on a destiny-shaping VHS tape. The Uruguayan filmmaker, then a burgeoning cinephile, was about to witness one of the first kills in the original “Alien.” His father, a journalist, had somehow gotten his hands on a making-of home video release with behind-the-scenes footage and clips from the sci-fi-horror classic.
” Betraying the style too harshly, Álvarez believes, breaks the illusion for the audience. At the same time, Álvarez thinks today’s audiences want to see new stories set in familiar worlds: plots and characters with which they can feel kinship. That’s why, he says, he never thought to include Ripley, the emblematic hero played by Sigourney Weaver.
