‘Alien’ Cast Reunited for ‘Alien: Isolation’, But Only if You Preorder it

Published

The timing on this news could be comical, if it wasn’t so frustrating. SEGA has confirmed that the cast from the original Alien, including Sigourney Weaver — Ellen Ripley herself — will make an appearance in the upcoming Alien: Isolation. The catch is a big one, because you’ll only get to witness it if you preorder the game. At GameStop.

As a life-long fan of the film, the idea of seeing the original cast come together for the first time in nearly two decades sounds amazing. Including Ripley, the DLC will also reunite Tom Skerritt (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), and Yaphet Kotto (Parker).

It’s such a great idea on SEGA’s part, and it’s excellent fan service, but making it preorder exclusive DLC? Just, no.

After Colonial Marines, there’s a hesitant excitement for this game. It doesn’t help that preorder DLC — including the content for Colonial Marines, which SEGA also published — tends to not be worth it. So, is it worth it?

I’m sure Alien fans have already gotten this game preordered, and that’s fine. I hope Alien: Isolation is as incredible as it looks, and I hope these preorder missions are worth it. We’ll find out either way come October. Until then, enjoy these new screenshots.

Alien: Isolation is slated to arrive on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
