Alien: Romulus – Early Rough Cut vs. Theatrical Release Differences

As Alien: Romulus has been released in most parts of the world for a few weeks now, we’ve started to get more and more interviews, behind the scenes art and videos. Today we’re getting a detailed breakdown of the differences between the early rough cut of the film compared to the theatrical release that’s in cinemas right now courtesy of Mike from the YouTube channel Mike’s Monster’s.

As we’ve previously mentioned, Mikey is a professional photographer and videographer who’s had regular access to behind the scenes material for many film productions. They’re one of the original founders of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast, and they’ve brought us multiple first hand reliable information regarding Alien: Romulus and the canceled Alien film from Neil Blomkamp. As expected, beware – spoilers are freely mentioned in the video and the rest of this post.

Be sure to watch the video for the full details, but in summary – the biggest changes were in regards to the design of the Offspring, a few short alternative scenes and an alternative title amongst other things. Unlike Prometheus and some of the previous films, Alien: Romulus doesn’t seem to have numerous deleted scenes that we know of for now.

Thank you to Mike again for sharing all of the details so far.
