‘He Devoted So Much Time To Us’: James Cameron Went Above And Beyond To Help 'Alien: Romulus' Be The Best Sequel It Could Be

When the "Alien: Romulus" release date arrives it will be the first piece of the "Alien" franchise to be released since Disney purchased Fox. The hope is high, both for the fans and the studio, that the movie will be a return to form. The "Alien: Romulus" trailers certainly look like the movie is a true successor to the horror of Ridley Scott’s original "Alien" and Scott himself has praised the film, but it turns out that he isn’t the only former "Alien" franchise director that Fede Álvarez talked to about his new movie.

The director of "Alien: Romulu" Fede Álvarez stopped by CinemaBlend’s suite during San Diego Comic-Con where he spoke about just how much support he got from "Aliens" director James Cameron. Apparently, the two directors became pen pals thanks to actor Stephen Lang, who starred in Álvarez's "Don’t Breathe" and is also in the "Avatar" franchise cast.
