‘Alien: Romulus’ And ‘Marty Supreme’ Make Their HBO Max Debuts This April
by Erik Amaya
Proving once again that the media companies are still in the business of renting material to one another, Alien: Romulus is making its way to HBO Max next month after a successful run on Disney+ and Hulu. The Fede Alvarez film is, to some, a return to form for the Alien series as it trades in the philosophical underpinnings of Ridley Scott‘s aborted Prometheus trilogy for a back-to-basics approach that may be a little too familiar. Certain lines of dialogue, shots, and whole characters feel more like studio-mandated necromancy than an organic part of the film. That said, it’s still manages to be a 90% successful in its aims — but that 10% can absolutely curdle the milk for a certain segment of the audience. It arrives on the service April 3rd while the rest of the Alien films series (minus Scott’s latter two contributions) debut April 1st. No foolin’!
Marty Supreme, meanwhile, joins the offerings on April 24th. We’ll admit the combination of director Josh Safdie and star Timothée Chalamet has kept us from giving it a try. Additionally, its shutout status at the Academy Awards makes us wonder if it’s worth the time investment to watch. Nonetheless, it will be available and, quite possibly, curiosity will get the best of us.
