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.

    I wouldn’t have minded the origins of Aliens if they did a better job of telling that story, but having a human android with an out-of-the-blue existential crisis be the true origin of this terrifying creature is just…meh. And then having that same Android decimate the Engineer’s home planet without rhyme or reason just shot the whole direction of the franchise right out of the sky. While Prometheus had a ton of faults, I was at least excited to see what the Engineers were like, but now that’s sorta gone, unless they do a retcon of what happened in Covenant.
