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.

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.
