Summary Alien: Romulus includes several clever easter eggs and references to the history of the Alien franchise. Debuting forty-five years ago before becoming a fixture of the sci-fi and horror genres, Alien has left an undeniable impact on pop culture. The latest film in the series, Alien: Romulus, seems aware of that history and goes out of its way to reference and recreate elements of the classic Ridley Scott's first Alien film.
Daniel Betts plays Rook, but the character is clearly modeled after Ash, who has been given a similar appearance and voice to the first film's villain. In-universe, this is explained by the pair being from the same robotic line. It also creates a deeper sense of continuity with the original film. Rook being severely damaged but still operational also reflects how many other robots in the series, like Ash in Alien and Bishop in Aliens, suffered similar fates.
Although it isn't exactly the same goo from the prior films, the substance's connection to the Xenomorph precursors was evident in the experiments conducted by the villainous synthetic android, David. The film even reinforces this connection by playing a musical cue from Prometheus. This is one of the biggest connections between Alien: Romulus and the rest of the series, as it reveals how the otherwise seemingly disparate events come together on the complete Alien timeline.
7 The Final Fate Of The Nostromo Alien: Romulus Reveals What Happened To The Remains Of The Nostromo Close The Nostromo's wreckage being rediscovered plays a major role in Alien: Romulus' backstory, directly connecting the first and latest entries in the series. The Nostromo was the setting of the first Alien, a small mining ship that discovered a distress beacon in the vastness of space. Investigating it set off the events of the film and much of the rest of the series.
5 Romulus Has The Same Emergency Phones As Alien: Isolation No Easy Save Points Close One of Alien: Romulus' most inventive references isn't even to one of the films, but rather a video game. Alien: Isolation takes place in between Alien and Aliens, and focuses on Ripley's daughter Amanda trying to survive an encounter with a Xenomorph on a space station. Throughout the game, players could use emergency phones known as "Registration Points" as save points.
A similar moment happens in Alien: Romulus when a Xenomorph corners Rain in an elevator shaft and moves in for the kill. Catching the pulse rifle and bringing the Xenomorph down to the ground with a series of shots, Andy repeats the line to the now-dead Xenomorph.
