20th Century Studios has announced (via SFFGazette.com) that production on the new Alien movie starring Kyle Spain ( Easttown Mare ) will begin in Budapest on March 9.
The cast is further expanded with the addition of David Johnson ( "The Industry "), Archie Reno ( "Shadow and Bone "), Spike Fern ( "Batman "), Eileen Wu ( "Far From Home ") and the recently announced Isabella.

Brent O'Connor ( Bullet Train ), Elizabeth Cantillon ( The Quest ) and Tom Moran ( The Donut King ) executive produce.

It was previously reported that Alvarez proposed a new Alien film to Scott a few years ago, and that the legendary director approached him several years ago about making it. We'd be shocked if there wasn't some connective tissue to the original franchise here, but don't expect any of these characters to have the last name "Ripley."
