Here are 19 Facts And Bits of Trivia About ‘Aliens’
The 1986 sci-fi action/horror film Aliens is considered by many to be the perfect example of how a sequel can match – and sometimes surpass, depending on who you’re talking to – the original. Instead of trying to just do the same thing but with different characters, they continued the story but in a new direction, one where Ripley’s original story of terror morphed into one of revenge and justified anger.
Even though it’s been out for 30 years, the movie is still a fan favorite and feels as fresh today as it did upon release. And while many people can quote the absolute hell out of it (I know I can), there are some small bits of trivia and little known facts that may have eluded viewers. Luckily, Movie Trivia in Photos is here to help out and drop some knowledge on ya!

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
