Fede Alvarez and Ridley Scott

Tickets are on sale now for the Alien 45th Anniversary Re-Release. The 1979 Ridley Scott movie that launched a franchise returns to theaters on April 26 for a limited time.

The story of Alien continues on August 16 with Alien: Romulus. We took the opportunity to bring together Alien: Romulus director Fede Alvarez and OG director Scott to converse about the history and future of the franchise. In this exclusive exchange, Scott gives us the behind-the-scene story of Alien's iconic “chest burst” scene, from how it was conceived to which other iconic director it mystified!

Check out the conversation, and stay tuned for more as Alien: Romulus draws nearer.
