As a lifelong Alien franchise fanatic who has survived countless viewings of every installment (and yes, I still have nightmares about that bloody facehugger scene), I must say that Fede Álvarez’s latest masterpiece, Alien: Romulus, has left me utterly speechless and utterly terrified.
Fede Álvarez says there was some pushback from Disney regarding Alien: Romulus’ final act.
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of watching “Alien: Romulus” in U.S. cinemas, a movie masterfully directed by Álvarez. In this thrilling sci-fi adventure, we see Cailee Spaeny bring the character of Rainn to life.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Álvarez revealed that Alien: Romulus follows a similar structure to his previous movies, featuring a fourth act. This final segment introduces a unique creature – a human-Xenomorph hybrid called “the Offspring.” According to Álvarez, he initially faced some resistance from Disney regarding this concept.
Originally, there was some hesitation about the project, not because they didn’t appreciate it, but because they wondered if it was too much or necessary. My response was something like, “Yes, now that you’ve raised that point, I know I will.” And that’s essentially what happened. If a studio associated with Disney greenlights an Alien movie so quickly, then they’re not challenging themselves enough. So, we took it to the edge, and I’m glad we did.
Álvarez also commented on the film’s conclusion, “There comes a point where the movie seems to be wrapping up, but then there’s an additional act, which is appropriate since Alien has a fourth act too. In fact, you could say that Aliens includes a small fourth act in its final action scene. It’s when you believe everything has ended and the film could have stopped there, but it presents one more intense finale instead.”
Last night, as we approached the climax of the game, I sensed a shift in the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking it wouldn’t be as challenging as anticipated. But if they glanced my way, they’d see me shedding my coat and flexing my forearms, readying myself to ramp up the difficulty and push the narrative to its limits. I aim for it to feel chilling and intense, but I can’t maintain that level of intensity throughout the entire game – it would be overwhelming and unbearable. It has to ebb and flow, creating a more balanced and engaging experience.
Alien: Romulus is now playing in United States theaters.
