Cailee Spaeny, who featured in HBO’s ‘Mare of Easttown’ and ‘The Craft: Legacy’, is in talks to lead the next entry in the ‘Alien’ franchise. The film will be produce by Ridley Scott who directed the 1979 original.
‘Don’t Breathe’ director, Fede Alvarez, has written the script and will direct the project. This film is separate from Noah Hawley’s ‘Alien’ series for FX which is also being overseen by Scott. This will be the first film in the franchise since 2017’s ‘Alien: Covenant’.
Spaeny’s casting will carry on the franchise tradition of having a female lead.
