1979 marked a groundbreaking moment in both horror and science fiction genres when director Ridley Scott and writer Dan O’Bannon unleashed their chilling masterpiece, “Alien,” which instilled an unrelenting sense of paranoia and isolation. Even four decades later, filmmakers continue to strive for the enchantment this movie embodies, with Ridley Scott himself revisiting the franchise in 2017 through “Alien: Covenant.” Today, the “Alien” franchise is experiencing a resurgence like never before. Fede Alvarez’s “Alien: Romulus” recently left a significant impact at the box office, and the creator of “Fargo” and “Legion,” Noah Hawley, is currently crafting a television series set within the realm of “Alien.”
