9 Reasons Alien: Romulus Is Better Than A Ridley Scott Covenant Sequel

While Alien: Romulus won’t be a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, there are numerous reasons why this could be a good thing for the franchise. Ridley Scott started one of the most successful franchises in sci-fi horror history when he directed Alien in 1979. The legendary director crafted a lean, terrifying horror movie from Dan O’Bannon’s screenplay, "Starbeast." Alien saw Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley evade the titular Xenomorph as the monster picked off her co-workers one at a time aboard the Nostromo. Combining the slasher movie formula of Halloween with the space setting of Star Wars, Alien proved a huge hit upon release.
