First, records are back in fashion, and now it’s possible that (*you check the notes*) VHS tapes. The last major film put on VHS was A A History of Violence in 2006 however Alien: Romulusadded this year to Alien franchise, is being released as a limited edition VHS tape on December 3, The Verge reports. Its director, Fede Alvarez, announced the news during the joint screening of Beyond Fest.
I Alien: Romulus The VHS tape celebrates the 45th anniversary of Alien, a cultural icon poorly described as “the movie where no one listens to the wise woman, and then everyone dies except the wise woman and her cat.” The tape will show viewers Alien: Romulus with a 4:3 aspect ratio and comes in a retro-looking case designed by artist Matt Ferguson.
Alien: Romulus premiered in August and reportedly grossed $350 million worldwide – we were fans, calling it “a fun and terrifying Alien tale for a new generation.” We’ll have to wait and see how much VHS sales add up to this (seriously, does anyone have a VHS player yet?), but it will be released simultaneously on 4K-UHD, DVD and Blu-Ray in December. There is no word yet on the price or quantity of the limited edition VHS tape.
