At the recent Gotham Awards, Cailee Spaeny, known for her role in \u201cPriscilla,\u201d subtly hinted about the upcoming film \u201cAlien: Romulus\u201d from 20th Century Studios. She leads the cast in this Fede Alvarez-directed revival, described as a standalone story within the \u201cAlien\u201d universe. Spaeny confirmed a rumor regarding the movie\u2019s placement within the franchise\u2019s timeline, stating it takes place between the first and second \u201cAlien\u201d films.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Variety\u2019s Michaela Zee, Spaeny revealed, \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie,\u201d highlighting the involvement of the team from James Cameron\u2019s \u201cAliens.\u201d She expressed her awe at working with the original creators and designers of the xenomorphs, emphasizing the continuity and the legacy these individuals bring to the project after working on the films for over 45 years.<\/p>\n
The original 1979 \u201cAlien\u201d directed by Ridley Scott saw Sigourney Weaver\u2019s Ellen Ripley facing off against a xenomorph before entering cryogenic sleep for her journey back to civilization. James Cameron\u2019s \u201cAliens\u201d continued Ripley\u2019s story as she joined a military mission to confront the xenomorph threat on a distant space colony. Whether \u201cAlien: Romulus\u201d directly ties to Ripley or the events of those initial two films remains uncertain.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her previous sci-fi experience in \u201cPacific Rim: Uprising,\u201d Spaeny shared her enthusiasm for returning to the genre, expressing a fondness for diversifying her roles. She humorously compared her past roles involving high heels and elaborate hairstyles to now embracing spacesuits and wire work, showcasing her versatility as an actress.<\/p>\n
Spaeny also addressed Variety\u2019s report about Lisa Marie Presley\u2019s reaction to the \u201cPriscilla\u201d film scripts, expressing empathy for Presley\u2019s concerns but focusing her efforts on portraying and honoring Priscilla Presley\u2019s perspective and story.<\/p>\n
Nominated for outstanding lead performance in \u201cPriscilla\u201d at the Gotham Awards, Spaeny\u2019s involvement in \u201cAlien: Romulus\u201d is highly anticipated, set to release in theaters on August 16, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
