What did Fede Álvarez say about Alien: Romulus 2?
Speaking with TooFab at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, Álvarez said that, while the script for Alien: Romulus 2 is completed, he will not be directing the sequel.
“We just finished the script, actually, for a sequel to Romulus. But I’m gonna pass the torch on this one as director,” Álvarez said. “I’m going to produce it, with Ridley Scott, we’re gonna produce it together, and we’re right now trying to find a new filmmaker to come in.
“I think that’s usually what has happened, except for Ridley, filmmakers come, you make one, and you pass the baton to the next one. But we wrote the story because we really love what we started with Romulus, and we want to continue the story. We love the story, and now we just want to find a director that really wants to go for the jugular.
Instead of helming Alien: Romulus 2, Álvarez says he wants to work on “a personal project” that he and his “co-writer [have] been keeping on the back burner for a while.” He continued, “We felt it was the right time, now, to go work on an original. But I cannot tell you anything about it.”
Plot details for Alien: Romulus 2 remain under wraps at this time. The movie does not yet have a release date from 20th Century Studios.
