The Big Picture In the vast expanse of the sci-fi horror universe, few franchises hold as revered a spot as Ridley Scott's Alien. With the announcement of Alien: Romulus, anticipation has been building around how the new installment plans to invigorate the iconic series. At the heart of this resurgence is Cailee Spaeny, the up-and-coming star of Priscilla, whose enthusiasm for the project is palpable and infectious.
If something doesn't look real, how can it feel real? And what feels more real than fear? The decision to set Romulus between the first and second films in the franchise was driven by a desire to blend the intense horror of the original with the action-oriented approach of its sequel. "We were talking about, 'How could this be a child of the two?'" Spaeny explains. "So we have those heightened moments, but then proper horror.
"Watching Sigourney play that role – she’s part of the changing of the game that those films did. I could never be her. I injected whatever I have in me into that character, and tried to make it three-dimensional – as three-dimensional as possible."
