Fede Álvarez wrote and directed the movie, and out of respect for Ridley Scott's original vision for the franchise, he showed the completed version of the film to Scott for approval.

In a series of discussions, Scott revealed some aspects of the plot and provided his perspective on the film’s direction. Many of us had been eagerly awaiting "Alien Awakening," which was expected to pick up David’s storyline. Contrary to these expectations, it has been announced that an entirely separate feature, titled "Alien Romulus," is set to emerge as the next chapter in the alien franchise. The production of "Alien Romulus" is not only underway but has been completed, despite almost no information about this movie.

For some reason everything about this new Alien installment has been kept in secret. However recently Ridley Scott shared his thoughts on the film. But before diving into that what Ridley said, here's some general context about "Alien Romulus" and everything we know so far about the movie including these major aspects:

Today, we'll cover everything we know so far about the upcoming movie. We'll look at:
• The Release Date
• The Cast
• The Trailer Release Date
• The Plot and The Timeline
• The Role of Engineers
• Ridley Scott's Comments
• Lastly, the Analysis and Predictions of What to Expect.

The movie is set to be released on August 16, 2024, and it received a stamp of approval from Ridley who said that “it’s fu…ing great” in addition to few other things.

One notable detail about Alien Romulus is the young cast, which is unrelated to any characters from previous films in the Alien franchise. Also Sigourney Weaver won’t be returning as Ellen Ripley and she said that “the ship has sailed” on one interview when discussing the possibility of reappearing in another alien film. It is a bit disappointing that Ripley won’t be part of the frachise, on the other hand by having a completely new, young cast the studio might be planning to release multiple movies in the future keeping the same characters.
