A recent interaction with the upcoming Alien: Romulus movie director, Fede Alvarez, hinted at an Easter egg from the horror game Alien: Isolation. Alien: Romulus’s director dropped a hint, challenging the Alien franchise’s die-hard fans to identify the Easter egg.&nbsp;
In the post, Fede shared a picture of a phone booth with the word ‘ EMERGENCY’ on top. The director then asked the fans what they would think it meant if they saw the booth while watching Alien: Romulus.&nbsp;
Many fans jumped on the opportunity, answering ‘save point.’ The answers meant the phone booth was a save point, similar to its illustration in the Alien: Isolation game. Fede Alvarez later mentioned in a reply that everyone who answered ‘shit is about to get real’ was correct.
The Easter egg hint was part of multiple fan facts and tests that Fede posted on the same day. The movie is set to air in theaters on August 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After Fede Alvarez dropped the Easter egg, many fans noted the similarities between the Alien: Isolation game and the Alien: Romulus movie. Some quickly <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LV426/comments/1e6gfol/comment/ldtlz9q/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">noted</a> the identical positions of the save point in the Alien game and the upcoming film.&nbsp;
In the Alien franchise subreddit, fans discussed how Fede referenced the horror game as an inspiration for Alien: Romulus. One Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LV426/comments/1e6gfol/comment/ldt592q/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">explained</a> that anyone interested can watch speedrunners playing the game in nightmare mode on YouTube. The Redditor added that if fans skipped the repetitive missions, the videos would be like a movie themselves.
Fede reportedly commented on the inspiration behind the movie in April, mentioning that, at its core, it was a horror-thriller. The Alien: Romulus director supposedly said that the upcoming film draws inspiration from its roots. Fede depended on the input of creatives who worked with Ridley Scott and James Cameron’s movies that came before.
