New Alien Movie Reportedly Starting Filming In Early 2023

The next film in the Alien franchise begins production early next year, per a new report. The Film & Television Industry Alliance’s ProductionList states that the next film, which has the working title of Alien: Romulus, will begin shooting in Budapest on February 6th, 2023.

The film was first reported back in March and will be directed by Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead). Plot details are not known, though the film is said to be unconnected to previous entries. The original report said that the film will be released on Hulu, though it’s not clear if that remains to be the case.

There is also an Alien TV series in the works for FX, which is also expected to begin shooting next year some time. Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion) is the creator and showrunner of the series, which will be set on Earth and won’t feature any characters from the previous films.
