Beijing News (Reporter Zhou Huixiaowan) On July 22, the sci-fi horror film "Alien: Revenge" produced by 20th Century Fox was officially scheduled to be released in major theaters in mainland China on August 16. New director Fede Alvarez teamed up with "Alien" series veteran Ridley Scott to create a new chapter in the legendary space science fiction. When young space colonists meet the most terrifying life form in the universe - the alien in an abandoned space station, the interstellar adventure that originally carried hope instantly turned into a desperate escape with a survival rate of nearly 0%, and a battle for survival with a huge disparity in strength was about to break out.

A battle for survival with a huge disparity in strength is about to break out.

In 1979, the first "Alien" was released. Director Ridley Scott successfully blended elements of science fiction, fear, and epic, pioneering space science fiction horror and parasitic mutant creatures. It won the 7th Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Director, and won the 52nd Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for its unique gloomy and grotesque style. Subsequently, this classic film history has changed directors several times and has been developed into a huge series universe. The pioneering setting of bionic people, the continuous development of human nature, and the philosophical thinking on life make the charm of the "Alien" series not only stop at the extreme horror, but also cause the audience to discuss profound issues such as origin, existence, and artificial intelligence.

In the movie, Ridley Scott gave the Alien, "the most terrifying alien creature ever", a strange parasitic reproduction mode and a cold-blooded hunter image, making it stand out from many screen monsters, transcending time and space, and becoming an immortal classic horror symbol in the minds of science fiction fans. The dark horror tone, weird beauty and grand narrative that he is particularly good at creating have made the name of this science fiction film master closely linked to the "Alien" series, and have had a profound impact on many science fiction classics in later generations. Now, Ridley Scott returns with "Alien: Taken Flight", which will add a new and colorful touch to the "Alien" series.

Alien: Taken will inherit and expand the most classic hardcore sci-fi settings and deep psychological thriller elements of the series, and extend a new storyline on this basis. The film revolves around a group of young and brave space colonists, telling the story of how they escaped the dull life of an alien mining colony and unexpectedly encountered the most terrifying life form in the universe - the alien while adventuring to explore an abandoned space station. In the narrow, dark and dangerous space station, the prelude to the battle royale has been ruthlessly opened, and humans have once again become the target of hunting by alien creatures. Shrouded in endless darkness and the threat of death, can the space explorers detect the chill of unknown creatures lurking in every heartbeat? In this life-and-death chase, what kind of trust challenges and moral struggles will they face? When companions are cruelly devoured one after another, can they find a ray of hope in this space killing with no one to turn to for help?

Director Alvarez said: "The timeline of this film is set between the first "Alien" in 1979 and the sequel "Alien 2" in 1986. The overall visual style, aesthetic characteristics and story rhythm will be inspired by and pay tribute to the two previous works." The well-deserved "protagonists" of the "Alien" series: the ejected face huggers, the chest-breaking bodies that break through the host's body, and the adult aliens with scorpion-like long tails have all returned. The alien monsters that are famous in film history will once again stage a fatal encounter with humans in the depths of the universe, explore the secrets hidden in the darkness, and awaken the most primitive tremors hidden in the hearts of the audience.
