Fede Alvarez's Upcoming ALIEN Movie Takes Place Between Ridley Scott's "ALIEN" And James Cameron's "ALIENS"

There isn’t much we know about the upcoming Fede Alvarez ALIEN film but we have got some news that makes us pretty hopeful. First up is that the film now has a release date of August 16, 2024.

And according to star Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) in a new chat with Variety, the untitled Alien movie takes place in between the first two films.

“It’s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie,” Spaeny tells the outlet. “They brought the same team from Aliens, the James Cameron film. The same people who built those xenomorphs actually came on and built ours.

“So getting to see the original design with the original people who have been working on these films for 45-plus years and has been so much of their life has been really incredible.”

The project has been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.” Spaeny leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
