Now you can add yet another kind of bodily media to that assortment, as Alien: Romulus will even be getting the VHS therapy, full with art work by the good Matt Ferguson.
This Romulus VHS is marketed as a tie-in to the unique Alien’s forty fifth anniversary, though we are able to’t ignore the truth that Romulus director Fede Álvarez labored in a number of references to and took loads of inspiration from previous installments of the Alien franchise.
The truth that twentieth Century Studios (and Disney) is keen to take a danger to please such a distinct segment viewers exhibits some actual dedication. Definitely Romulus itself didn’t want it, because it already took in $350 million on the worldwide field workplace and will definitely just do high-quality by streaming and Blu-ray/DVD purchases.
