The Big Picture One of the most beloved stories in the history of horror cinema is coming back to theaters, with 20th Century Studios announcing that Alien is heading back to the big screen for a limited time starting on April 26. The unforgettable classic directed by Ridley Scott premiered more than forty years ago, but considering how its legacy is set to continue later this year, the studio saw it as a wonderful opportunity to give new audiences a chance to see Alien in cinemas.
Alien follows the crew of the Nostromo, a spacecraft designed to identify transmissions coming from intelligent life in outer space. After detecting a mysterious signal, they board another ship before realizing that the vessel was actually trying to warn them to stay away. Captain Dallas finds himself stuck in a difficult situation when he realizes his entire crew could die due to the xenomorph that has infiltrated their ship.
Back when it was released in theaters for the first time, Alien proved to be extremely successful at the box office, convincing the studio to develop another story featuring humans battling xenomorphs. James Cameron was selected to write and direct Aliens, the sequel to the original story that would mark the next step of what would eventually become a franchise.
'Alien' Returns Ahead of 'Alien: Romulus' Close While Alien doesn't need a particular reason to return to theaters other than the fact that it left a major mark in pop culture history, 20th Century Studios could be looking at the launch as an opportunity to promote the next installment of the franchise.
Release Date June 22, 1979 Director Ridley Scott Cast Sigourney Weaver , Tom Skerritt , John Hurt , Veronica Cartwright , Harry Dean Stanton , Ian Holm , Yaphet Kotto Runtime 117 minutes Main Genre Sci-Fi
