This weekend’s Alien: Romulus is getting pretty well-reviewed and looks like it’s accomplished its job in revitalizing the horror franchise. Funnily sufficient, the identical factor occurred with the Predator sequence and the beautiful glorious Prey again in 2022. Each manufacturers have now gotten a strong film underneath their belts within the post-Disney/Fox merger, main some to consider if we should always possibly give Alien vs. Predator one other go?
Fede Alvarez certain appears to suppose so. Speaking to Deadline through the Romulus purple carpet, the director believes it’d be value doing, primarily as a workforce effort with Prey director Dan Trachtenberg. “We must always do like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did with From Nightfall Until Daybreak,” he prompt. “We’ll do this. I direct one half, he directs the opposite half. There you go, that’s the pitch.” As Fangoria notes, he may be extra precisely referring to Tarantino and Rodriguez’s 2007 double function Grindhouse, made up of the previous’s Demise Proof and the latter’s Planet Terror. Both method, it’s a gag pitch on Alvarez’s half, however possibly there’s the seed of an thought there, and it’ll bloom in a number of years.

The unique Alien vs. Predator turned 20 years previous earlier this week, and it’s obtained a particular place within the hearts of Alien and Predator followers. Is it silly? Surely, but it surely’s the enjoyable type of dumb, and Sanaa Lathan’s doing the rattling factor. (The sequel, in the meantime, simply exists.) It’d be enjoyable to see what a brand new conflict appears to be like like within the wake of each franchises’ resurgence, however possibly after every of them get one other movie or two, simply so there’s a strong basis. On the very least, we’re getting extra Predator motion pictures, beginning with Badlands coming someday within the close to future. As for extra Alien, there’s FX’s 2025 present Alien: Earth, however no movies past Romulus fairly but. And if we are able to’t get a crossover, possibly somebody at twentieth Century can pull some strings and launch that anime they apparently made and shelved?
