Screen-used film props from Alien: Romulus on display...

Alien movie fans and film buffs alike should love today's blog entry as it features cool screen-used props and models from Alien: Romulus on display. Director Fede Alvarez's film is set between the events of 1979's Alien and the 1986 movie sequel, Aliens. At the start of the film the Xenomorph that 'Ellen Ripley' ejected into space in Alien is found floating in an organic meteorite mass in the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo star freighter. When scientists laser cut the meteoroid in half the ruthless life form is revealed within.

These cargo crates and computer monitor also featured in the film. To try and ward off the Xenomorphs on the derelict space station 'Rain' and 'Tyler' arm themselves with M56 self-aiming pulse rifles, even though they can't fire them for fear of rupturing the station's hull.

The station's synthetic science officer 'Rook' (who is given the likeness of Ian Holm who played the android 'Ash' in the original film via animatronics, CGI and deepfake AI technology) wants them to transport "Prometheus fire", a black gooey substance, that has been extracted from the aliens in a sample container to the mining colony on Jackson's Star to give to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

I hope you've enjoyed this assortment of screen-used props from the sci-fi horror film and be sure to check out more costumes from the Alien film franchise on display.

Aileen Wu's movie costume from Alien: Romulus on display...

Director Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus is set between 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens and sees a young crew of scavengers from a mining colony break into a derelict space station to steal some hypersleep chambers in order to travel through space to a better life on a terraformed world. In the film Aileen Wu plays 'Navarro', the pilot of the Corbelan IV hauler that flys them to the orbiting abandoned scientific spaceship. Aboard the station Navarro is attacked by an alien "facehugger" (as strikingly seen on the movie's theatrical posters) which impregnates her with a "chestburster" that leads to her violent death.

Aileen Wu's costume was photographed on display at the infamous El Capitan Theatre along Hollywood Boulevard on August 19, 2024. Her leather jacket may be a lighter colour, but it certainly evokes the jacket worn by Sigourney Weaver's 'Ellen Ripley' in Aliens.

David Jonsson's Alien: Romulus movie costume on display...

In Alien: Romulus, David Jonsson plays the synthetic person 'Andy' who was found discarded and reprogrammed by the father of orphaned 'Rain Carradine', his primary directive to do what is best for his adoptive sister. Living on the dangerous mining colony of Jackson's Star which sees no daylight, he is needed by a young crew of scavengers who want to raid a seemingly abandoned spacecraft in orbit to acquire some cryostasis units, in order to sleep for nine years in space for a better life on a newly terraformed planet and escape their enforced servitude to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Being artificial, he can speak MU/TH/UR 6000 code to the spaceship's computer and get the crew access. Unbeknownst to them, the derelict craft is actually a research space station which contains the most dangerous life form in the universe.

Cailee Spaeny's Alien: Romulus movie costumes on display...

Hoorah, finally some exciting new film costumes and props to share with you from the new Alien: Romulus movie. In Fede Alvarez's new installment in the science fiction-horror franchise, a Weyland-Yutani space probe discovers the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo and collects an organic meteorite object containing the xenomorph ejected into space by Sigourney Weaver's warrant office 'Ellen Ripley' in Alien. On the mining colony Jackson's Star, Cailee Spaeny's orphaned 'Rain Carradine' finds her work contract forcibly extended by at least five years, when she thought she'd earned enough hours to leave and travel to the already terraformed planet of Yvaga III.


When her ex-boyfriend asks her to join a mission to retrieve cryostasis chambers from a derelict spacecraft passing through their planet's orbit, she and her adopted reprogrammed synthetic brother 'Andy' join the young crew of friends on their gambit to escape their enforced servitude. Traveling into space they discover the spacecraft is actually a research station divided into parts and inspired by the Roman legend of twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. They soon discover that the terrifying life form has been cloned and their plan soon takes a deadly turn.
