Alien: Romulus
Set about 20 years after the first film, the seventh Alien movie returns the franchise to its horror roots. In our 10-page feature, we speak to director Fede Alvarez and stars Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson.
We also look back at Ridley Scott’s 1979 original, and explore the latest Alien books, comics and videogames, as well as dedicating our quiz page to the series – altogether, that makes 21 pages of xenomorph-related readin’ stuff!
