How Cailee Spaeny Roles Engulfed Alien Franchise Films
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) – “Pacific Rim Uprising” actor Cailee Spaeny had to admit that things became bleak while filming the Disney (DIS.N) movie “Alien: Romulus,” the latest installment in the popular “Alien” franchise, because characters were killed off regularly. “Oh, it was always really sad when someone died, you know. Because we shot it chronologically. I think we were all getting really attached to each other,” Spaeny said. “So, whenever a death came up, it sort of was a very emotional day,” added Spaeny, who plays the main protagonist named Rain Carradine. “Alien: Romulus,” which arrives in U.S. theaters on August 16, is a standalone film that takes place between the events of the 1979 “Alien” movie and the 1986 “Aliens” film. The science-fiction horror film follows a group of young scavengers who enter a derelict space station looking for valuables.
