Η σειρά ταινιών Alien και το τεράστιο franchise γύρω από αυτά κλείνει τα 40 χρόνια. Το πρώτο “Alien” του 1979 σε σκηνοθεσία του Ridley Scott παραμένει ακόμη και σήμερα μια από τις πιο αγαπημένες ταινίες όλων των εποχών.
Η Fox λοιπόν με αφορμή την παραπάνω επέτειο και σε συνεργασία με 6 σκηνοθέτες δημιουργούν την δική τους ταινία μικρού μήκους στον φανταστικό αυτό κόσμο που περιγράφει το franchise αυτό.
Οι δημιουργοί είχαν πρόσβαση στα πάντα από το franchise με τις ταινίες αυτές να κάνουν το ντεμπούτο τους από 29 Μαρτίου μέσω του IGN ενώ από τις 3 Μαΐου θα έχουν την δυνατότητα να τις απολαύσουμε και από τα κοινωνικά δίκτυα του @AlienAnthology.
Οι 6 αυτές ταινίες συνοπτικά είναι:
ALIEN: Alone – Hope, an abandoned crew member aboard the derelict chemical hauler Otranto, has spent a year trying to keep her ship and herself alive as both slowly fall apart. After discovering hidden cargo, she risks it all to power up the broken ship in search of human life.
ALIEN: Containment – Four survivors find themselves stranded aboard a small escape pod in deep space. Trying to piece together the details around the outbreak that led to their ship’s destruction, they find themselves unsure to trust whether or not one of them might be infected.
ALIEN: Harvest – The surviving crew of a damaged deep-space harvester have minutes to reach the emergency evacuation shuttle. A motion sensor is their only navigation tool leading them to safety while a creature in the shadows terrorizes the crew. However, the greatest threat might have been hiding in plain sight all along.
ALIEN: Night Shift – When a missing space trucker is discovered hungover and disoriented, his co-worker suggests a nightcap as a remedy. Near closing time, they are reluctantly allowed inside the colony supply depot where the trucker’s condition worsens, leaving a young supply worker alone to take matters into her own hands.
ALIEN: Ore – As a hard-working miner of a planet mining colony, Lorraine longs to make a better life for her daughter and grandchildren. When her shift uncovers the death of a fellow miner under mysterious circumstances, Lorraine is forced to choose between escape or defying management orders and facing her fears to fight for the safety of her family.
ALIEN: Specimen – It’s the night shift in a colony greenhouse, and Julie, a botanist, does her best to contain suspicious soil samples that have triggered her sensitive lab dog. Despite her best efforts the lab unexpectedly goes into full shutdown and she is trapped inside. Little does she know, an alien specimen has escaped the mysterious cargo, and a game of cat and mouse ensues as the creature searches for a host.
