On the other hand, the Alien saga will receive a new movie this year called Romulus, directed by the talented Fede Álvarez from Uruguay. Álvarez previously directed the Evil ***** remake, which was well-received by critics and audiences alike. This presents another opportunity for the franchise to revive after numerous poorly received movies.
