Alien: Romulus Will Release On VHS, Something No Major Studio Has Done In 18 Years
It's apparently been 18 years since a major studio has released a movie on VHS, but that drought will be broken when Alien: Romulus comes out for the outdated platform on December 3. That's right: An actual tape of the sci-fi horror movie is getting made, though it will be a limited edition.
The official Alien account on X shared that Alien: Romulus writer/director Fede Álvarez revealed the special VHS release at Beyond Fest over the weekend. Artist Matt Ferguson has created the cover for the tape, which will come out at the same time as the Alien: Romulus Blu-ray. The previous major studio release on VHS was reportedly A History of Violence in 2006, according to Inverse. 20th Century Studios--now owned by Disney--is behind the Alien: Romulus VHS launch.
