Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
The Craft - Legacy 2020.
Just eight months after it was revealed that a new Alien movie was in development at 20th Century Studios, it seems they have found their star in Caliee Spaeny. Her first major role was in the science fiction action film Pacific Rim Uprising (2018), which was followed by appearances in Bad Times at the El Royale, On the Basis of Sex, and Vice the same year. She also portrayed the lead of the supernatural horror film 'The Craft: Legacy (2020). On television, Spaeny was a series regular on the FX science fiction thriller Devs (2020) and the HBO crime drama Mare of Easttown (2021).
There’s still not much known about the plot of the film, which is set for the Hulu streaming service and what kind of tone the project will take on. Director Fede Alvarez has some great ideas for the new movie and is confident that it will be good enough to carry the rest of the films to a certain degree. Not that any new movie could douse Alien or it's sequel Aliens but it should have some neat elements to conclude on from that Aliens franchise.. Word is this new Aliens film will reportedly be unconnected to the franchise's previous entries. The upcoming feature project will be the seventh Alien, and is intended to reboot the beloved sci-fi horror franchise. And though we don't know who she'll be playing, Cailee Spaeny's casting suggests the film will continue the franchise's tradition of pitting a strong female lead against the face-hugging monsters.
A strong lead will be required if the writers intend to continue a heroic and strong willed individual who fights to there last breath. As in the movie 'Don't breath' in space no one will hear you scream.. The movie may intercept from LV426 or maybe another strange planet to large planetary spaceships that have elements similar to the mega gut busting game Alien Isolation.. No Newt in this film? This film will be a fresh interpretation of the Alien theme we can foresee.. A large proportion of Alien fans conclude that they liked the first two films but Aliens 3 veered off course into another dimension that does not easily co-exist with it's prequel. Newt was killed off even though she had so much more character and storyline to portray. A better storyline could of been produced if the writers stayed true to the two original films..
Besides the movies there exists large and copious amounts of paperback novels.. The saying goes that a book is always better than the movie:
Books include, Alien Starswarm, published (1991) - Alien: The Cold Forge (2018) - Alien: Echo (2019) - Alien: Isolation (2019) - Alien Prototype (2019)..
In September 2022, Spaeny was cast as Priscilla Presley in Director Sofia Coppola's upcoming film Priscilla (film) alongside Jacob Elordi as Elvis Presley.
