“It vaguely resembles the original Nostromo,” points out Christian Holub in an article published recently by the American magazine Entertainment Weekly.
Alvarez himself stated a EW that that choice was intentional. “After all, Weyland-Yutani is sort of a kind of Acme Corporation in the universe Alien: Much of the human technology we see begins with the company itself,” Holub continues.

Alvarez: “I wanted to go back to my roots, to the time of the first film”
“I knew I wanted to go back to the roots, back to the time of the first film, and so that dictates a lot of the design from the beginning,” Alvarez explains to EW. “This company makes a certain type of corridor, a certain type of monitor, a certain type of engine, and if you live in this universe, you’ll come across a lot of these designs again. So cinematographer Naaman Marshall and I got together “We took a lot of care to make sure we were extremely faithful to the style of the first film. This is a few years later, but in the world of Alien, it’s not that much later, actually,” the filmmaker continues.

The characters of Alien: Romulus they recall the original ones
Even the characters of Alien: Romulus they recall the original ones, he underlines EW.
Alien of Scott remains at the basis of everything, in short, influencing the way in which astronauts are represented not as heroic scientist-engineers but as “truck drivers in space”.
“The characters are very proletarian, like in the best versions of these films, but they are much younger than before,” Alvarez tells EW. “I remember seeing the extended cut of Aliens, where you can see a bunch of kids running around the hallways of one of the colonies and think, ‘wow, what would it be like for those kids when they become twenty-year-olds? Growing up in a place with no future? Would they want to stay there and do what their parents did, or leave that place?’ This is a reality that most people in our world face growing up in a small town or small town. This is the spirit with which we approached these characters and their story.”

Cailee Spaeny is one of the young stars of the cast
“The biggest name in the cast of young actors is probably Cailee Spaeny, who is predicted to be a big hit in 2024,” he writes EW.
After his starring role in Priscilla by Sofia Coppola last year, Spaeny now reunites with his director of Devs (American television miniseries written and directed by Alex Garland, made available on FX on Hulu starting March 5, 2020) Garland for the film Civil War.
“The trailer of Alien: Romulus gives Cailee Spaeny a very heroic close-up in which she almost resembles the original star of the series: Sigourney Weaver,” continues Christian Holub.
“I always knew it would be her. I almost wrote the movie for her,” says Alvarez, who pins photos of various people and actors for inspiration while writing his screenplays, he says. EW. “In a way, she’s the audience. That’s the big difference it makes when you bring in younger characters in their early 20s. It’s not that the audience is necessarily that age, but we’re as inexperienced as they are in handling the situation in which they find themselves.”

The director: “We brought back the team that worked on Aliens – Final Clash”
“We brought back the team that worked on it Aliens – Final Clash (it is the 1986 film directed by James Cameron. It is the sequel to Alien of 1979, directed by Ridley Scott, ndr), Stan Winston’s team,” says Alvarez.
“They were all guys in their early 20s back then, and if you watch some behind-the-scenes footage, you’ll see the three of them sitting there talking about how they built the Alien Queen. Now they have all these big companies of their own because they’ve become masters of their craft, but I worked hard to make sure we got each one. Instead of giving everything to one of them, we hired each of them to work on very specific creatures.”
Alvarez continues, “We have the puppetry, the animatronics, all the old-school techniques. We had the right guys because they worked on the originals. So, for some of the creatures, we needed those guys to make them exactly as you’ve seen them in the past. But then when we needed something new, we had those guys too, so we made sure we were true to the spirit of the original films.”
