Early footage from Alien: Romulus strongly echoes the original Alien films. The gritty aesthetic, confined spaceship environment, sense of claustrophobia, and weaponry all harken back to Alien and Aliens, underscoring the film's effort to reconnect with the franchises roots. While the latest trailer for Alien: Romulus highlights numerous connections to the initial films in the series, its most significant link might not be to another movie but rather an Alien project that might be unfamiliar to fans who have only watched the movies.
