Fede Álvarez has been tapped to write and direct a new 'Alien' movie for Hulu, with Ridley Scott set to produce.
The horror genre has seen a resurgence in the last decade and one of the directors that many horror fans have fallen in love with is Fede Álvarez. After taking on Deadites in his 2013 Evil Dead reboot and creating his own unique horror-thriller franchise of his own in Don’t Breathe, it looks like Álvarez has found his next project.
While it is very disappointing that this film will not get a theatrical release given that horror is always better with an audience in a large dark theater, at least it sounds like the series is going back to its deep horror aesthetic. The original 1979 Alien was such a unique film as it was a mash-up of a claustrophobic haunted house thriller and a slasher monster movie. The subsequent films went for a more action-heavy approach starting with James Cameron’s Aliens.
Álvarez has experience with big franchises and streaming services, so that will most likely help this new film hit the ground running. Also, with Alvarez’s deep love for the franchise as well as his great eye for horrific visuals, it will be interesting to see what his take on the Xenomorphs are given that this sounds like a reboot and if characters like the iconic Ridley will make an appearance of some kind in the film. For all the latest on this new Alien film, stick with Collider.
