Alien On The Big Screen? Don't Mind If I Do
One of the most influential sci-fi/horror films of all time, "Alien," which was released in June 1979 and won an Oscar® for best visual effects, stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto. It is the terrifying tale of a crew aboard a commercial spacecraft that lands on an alien planet to investigate a mysterious transmission of unknown origin and encounters the deadliest lifeform in the universe. "Alien" is directed by Ridley Scot, with a screenplay by Dan O'Bannon and a story by Ronald Shusett, and the producers are Gordon Carroll, David Giler, and Walter Hill.
I am getting the same feelings I was getting around Alien Day in 2017 when I saw that year's screening of the first film. Some of it was very meme-able, but I still think Covenant was a decent film. I have only seen the trailer for Romulus so far, but that gave me hope that the franchise can be reinvigorated like Predator was a couple of years ago with Prey. Our own Kaitlyn Booth saw some footage from the film last week at CinemaCon, and I have to think we will get a new trailer or look at the movie on 4/26.
Even if we don't, you should still go see Alien in theaters that day. The big screen is the best way to watch it.
