There hasn’t been a new Alien movie since Alien: Covenant in 2017, but director Fede Álvarez’s upcoming film has now just wrapped filming. A xenomorph from Alien Covenant, spindly-limbed, translucent and covered in blood

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

The Alien franchise drought is slowly approaching its end, with Fede Álvarez's new movie having now wrapped filming. After first getting its start back in 1979, the Alien franchise consists of six films in total, not including several crossovers with the Predator franchise. Now, original director Ridley Scott has handed the reins to Álvarez for a new film, with the newcomer best known for Don't Breathe and 2013's Evil Dead reboot.

Many questions remain about Álvarez's new Alien movie, but, according to Collider, the film has now wrapped principal photography, which brings it one step closer to hitting movie theater screens. With filming now complete, work will turn to post-production and what is likely a large number of visual effects sequences.

More to come...

Even though I hated it, I still bought it on Blu-ray. 🤪 I should take the shrinkwrap off and watch it. Maybe it won't seem as bad now.

I sometimes feel like one of the only people who actually liked Alien 3, taken on its own. If you wanted Aliens 2 you were going to go away disappointed, but the storyline was very much like something out of the comics. Aliens: Sacrifice is one of my favorite graphic novels and it has a really similar feel to Alien 3.

2 and 3 are my favorites.

I liked Resurrection up until the ugly one appeared.

Xenomorphs are supposed to be the perfect, beautiful killing machine, not that ugly abomination.

That was my issue with it too! Xenomorphs are supposed to evolve, not DEvolve. Why would it trade chitin for skin? Made no sense.
