Director Fede Álvarez ("Evil Dead," "Don't Breathe") has the difficult task of resurrecting the languishing "Alien" theatrical franchise with his upcoming "Alien: Romulus."
The R-rated feature film, which will be released this August, is the first of a pair of competing "Alien" projects currently waiting in the wings, the other being an upcoming FX/Hulu TV series from creator/showrunner Noah Hawley ("Legion," "Fargo"). "Alien: Romulus" is set sometime within the 57-year narrative chasm existing between "Alien" (1979) and "Aliens" (1986) and concerns more close encounters with the lethal xenomorphs.
