The new 'Alien' movie proves a worthy addition to the long-running sci-fi franchise.

'Alien: Romulus' offers more of the same xenomorph action — and that's a good thing

While Alien: Romulus delivers on its terrifying thrills and brutal xenomorph kills, does the new Fede Álvarez flick have a post-credits scene waiting for fans at the very end? Here’s what you need to know. Seven years removed from the last film in the franchise, Alien: Romulus has...

Does Alien: Romulus have a post-credits scene?

TheDailyBeast

There’s never been a terrible Alien movie (no, the Alien vs. Predator spin-offs don’t count), and that streak stays alive with Alien: Romulus, a seventh series entry that, chronologically speaking, takes place between 1979’s Alien and 1986’s Aliens.A throwback that faithfully channels its illustrious predecessors while simultaneously adding a few wrinkles to its familiar mix, Fede Álvarez’s sequel, which hits theaters August 16, proves that, 45 years after the xenomorph first terrified audiences, there’s still plenty of acid-bloody life left in the franchise’s monstrous bones.Sixty-five million light years from Earth, Rain Carradine (Priscilla and Civil War’s Cailee Spaeny) dreams of...

Herbie J Pilato

He was born on April 2, 1949, in New Haven, Connecticut, and died of a heart attack at only 63 on August 14, 2012, in Palm Beach Gardens. His birth name was Ronald Gabriel Paolillo, but his stage name was Ron Palillo who was best known as Arnold Dingfelder Horshack on TV's hit 1970s sitcom, Welcome Back, Kotter.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make important astronomical discoveries. Sometimes, all it takes is an internet connection and some spare time. That’s all Tom Bickle, Martin Kabatnik, and Austin Rothermich needed to find a celestial object rocketing through the Milky Way at roughly one million miles (1.6 million kilometers) per hour. The trio were participants in Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, an online collaboration wherein volunteers look at images captured by NASA’s recently retired Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The goal is to identify objects at the edge of the solar system, such as brown dwarfs (balls of gas too big to be planets, but too small to be stars), low-mass stars, and even a hypothesized ninth planet orbiting the Sun.

Directing an Alien movie in 2024, after six movies and 44 years, must feel like wandering into a kitchen the day after Pancake Day looking for flour and eggs. Every possible ingredient has surely been used, every angle exhausted. Major props, then, to Fede Álvarez for cooking up something fresh in this furiously exciting, gnarly seventh entry. He’s found the eggs, too.

The references to previous Alien movies in Alien: Romulus start with the logo for 20th Century Studios, which holds on an ominous musical note in the classic Fox fanfare a la the famous opening of Alien 3. The first actual scene of the movie is a reference too — not to Alien itself, but to its marketing.

An invasive species of parasitic eyeworm is spreading further in the U.S. and finding new types of animal hosts. In a study published this week, scientists revealed the first known case of Thelazia callipaeda infection in an American black bear from Pennsylvania. The researchers caution that this discovery could indicate a rapid expansion in the population and range of the roundworm, which is also known to infect pets and humans.

Opinion | The fourth Alien movie might be super weird, but it's also super underrated

I watched Alien: Resurrection for the first time ahead of Alien: Romulus, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's messy, maligned film is now my second-fave in the sci-fi franchise

One of horror’s biggest franchises is making a huge splash this spooky season and io9 has your exclusive first look and details. The Conjuring Universe is coming to Six Flags Fright Fest this fall and the all-new maze will incorporate not just scenes and characters from the core Conjuring franchise, but The Nun and Annabelle films as well.

The Conjuring Is Getting a Franchise-Spanning Series of Mazes

“In space, no one can hear you scream,” went the tagline for the original “Alien” in 1979, a terrifying thought on multiple levels. There may indeed be a scientific rationale for a space scream to be inaudible, but isn't it scarier to simply realize nobody’s around to hear you? That was the case for Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, once she became the last one standing against the fearsome Xenomorph. Nobody could hear her scream — nobody human, that is — because, duh, everyone was dead.

Directed by Fede Álvarez, and written by Álvarez and Rodo Sayagues, Alien: Romulus is the seventh film in the Alien franchise (if you don’t count the two Alien Vs. Predator crossover films, that is). But technically, this new movie is a standalone “interquel,” which takes place between the events of the first movie Alien (1979) and the second movie Aliens (1986).
