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!

Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
