Alien At 40: Watch Another One Of The Anniversary Shorts

Time For A Harvest?

Fox have commissioned six short films to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Alien and here’s one of them from our friends at IGN…

To celebrate Alien’s 40th anniversary and in partnership with Tongal, 20th Century Fox is releasing new Alien-universe fan-made short films leading up to Alien Day on April 26th. Directed by Benjamin Howdeshell, the synopsis for “Harvest” reads: “The surviving crew of a damaged deep-space harvester have minutes to reach the emergency evacuation shuttle. A motion sensor is their only navigation tool leading them to safety while a creature in the shadows terrorizes the crew. However, the greatest threat might have been hiding in plain sight all along.” But the Alien fun isn’t over just yet! 20th Century Fox revealed that, to mark the 40th anniversary of Alien, the movie will return to more than 600 theaters for three days only — October 13, 15 and 16 — as part of Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies’ yearlong TCM Big Screen Classic Series.
