A sequel to Romulus? Here's the truth

Another day, and another harmful rumors related to the movies have formed rounds. This time the name began Buzz that the 20th -century studio “considered” the idea of ​​returning a recognized actor and franchise star Sigourney Weaver to surprise his legendary role as Ellen Ripley inside The continuation of “Alien: Romulus” is still approved. This latest report came courtesy of Scooper Daniel Richtman (also known for his social media handle danielrpk) Recent Patreon Post Only subscribers have available to say that the powers that have been looking for widespread use of technology to make this exact version of the Ripley period, as Romulus took about 20 years after the original events of Alien's events.

Well, consider these rumors squeezed. No less authority than the director and co -author of “Romulus” Fede álvarez approved just as much in office made on x (Site/app formerly and still popularly known as Twitter) in response to a fan site simply by declaring:

“Fun gossip. But not at all right.”

Fun gossip. But not at all right.

This sound you hear is probably a sigh of huge relief that is eliminated throughout the film community members, many of whom had a reasonable reason to remain cynical for such a controversial narrative choice. After all, “Romulus” was the same movie that was subjected to fire to use similar de-aging technology to digitally resurrect the late, big Ian Holm as Android antagonist-decision, which it Álvarez claimed to be “fixed” for his release at home To improve some spotted visual effects work. Of course, of course real The issue was related to the ethical issues of the restoration of dead participants and over -reliance on nostalgia. Comparing this problem, going back to the same well and recovering another fan favorite character, such as a riple, would have been … curious, to put it mildly.

Whatever the case, those who are waiting for the next movie “Alien: Romulus” and nervous about the chosen prospects of the chosen, seem clear.

As far as rumors and speculation is concerned, it is worth deeply going into whether this Sigourney Weaver rumor has ever really passed the odor test. “Alien: Romulus” was designed to meet the same target as a soft reboot (although In his review /film critic Chris Evangeleta believed it was playing too safe In this regard) returning the franchise into their gloomy, low -fi roots after the pair of the original director Ridley Scott's broken prequel left the “alien” future. This obviously meant playing the biggest hits of the series, references to literally every previous down payment. In this respect, going back to the full circle and the new riplia back in the back of the mixture kind Check … but collapse as soon as you think a little more about it.

There is too much logic and narrative hole in the closely designed “Alien” timeline to make it great. Immediately after the 1979 classical events, the Ripley is stuck in the cryo until the “aliens” begins-which, of course, is almost 60 years later. Given the very specific period of time during which the “Romulus” is set, the new riple may not have been included in the continuation without seriously saying the continuity of these films. ((Álvarez previously gave a hint to the empire That any “Romulus” sequel will once again focus on Cailee Spaeny's rain and her surviving Android Bestie Andy, played by David Jones.) More practical that aging technology is still not far enough to risk fans' anger again fans on fans. . And let's really be, James Cameron was already beating them to a blow His own Sigourney Weaver character in the movie “Avatar: Water Road”.

So far, “Alien: Romulus” continues only hypothetical until the 20th century studio, which officially gives it green light. Until this happens, at least we know that the riplie will earn her rest and will not be dug out of the cryo to get another incidence of Xenomorph. In other words? Stay away from her, you b ****!
