Fede Álvarez's upcoming Alien movie for Disney is going back to the franchise's horror roots and will restore the original film's scariest trick.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fede Álvarez’s as-yet-untitled upcoming Alien movie is setting out to bring the franchise back to its horror roots by copying the most terrifying trick from the original film. The new Alien movie is part of Disney’s ongoing effort to cash in on all the lucrative franchises it acquired in its merger with 21st Century Fox.
After the original Alien film emerged as one of the greatest horror movies ever made, its sequels have dabbled in other genres with varying degrees of success. Aliens is a high-octane action movie, Alien 3 is a prison movie in space, and Prometheus is a straightforward science fiction epic about the origins of intelligent life. The new Alien movie is going back to the horror roots that made the original so great – and Álvarez is the perfect filmmaker for the job.
With his sure-handed direction of Don’t Breathe, Álvarez recaptured exactly the same tension and claustrophobia that made the first Alien movie so powerful, without needing to be an out-and-out gore fest. Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror opus is essentially a haunted house movie in space. Despite its very different setting , Don’t Breathe has a very similar style to the original Alien film: its heroes are picked off one by one by a malicious entity lurking in the shadows.
Disney's Alien Sequel Can Redeem The Franchise The new Alien movie isn’t just an opportunity to redeem this beloved franchise and its hit-and-miss history of sequels and prequels; it’s a chance for Álvarez to redeem his last couple of lackluster horror movies.
