With a month before cameras are set to roll on the Alien: Romulus sequel, director of the last film, Fede Alvarez has announced he and producer Ridley Scott are currently looking for a new filmmaker to take over the reigns, as Alvarez is no longer directing the picture! Speaking to TooFab last night on the red carpet at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood, Alvarez revealed:
We just finished the script, actually, for a sequel for Romulus, but I’m gonna pass the torch on this one as director. I think that’s usually what has happened, except for Ridley, filmmakers come, you make one and you pass the baton to the next one. But we wrote the story because we really love what we started with Romulus and we want to continue the story. We love the story, and now we just want to find a director that really wants to go for the jugular.
Who do you think should direct the next Alien film? Let us know in the comments!
