In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece “Alien,” the film will return to theaters for a limited time starting on April 26.

Tickets are now available for purchase at Fandango or wherever tickets are sold. Be sure to check out the unique homage poster, TV spot, and preview of an exclusive conversation between Ridley Scott and Fede Alvarez, the director/writer of the upcoming theatrical release “Alien: Romulus,” which will appear on prints of “Alien” in theaters April 26.

One of the most influential sci-fi/horror films of all time, “Alien,” which was released in June 1979 and won an Oscar® for best visual effects, stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto. It is the terrifying tale of a crew aboard a commercial spacecraft that lands on an alien planet to investigate a mysterious transmission of unknown origin and encounters the deadliest lifeform in the universe. “Alien” is directed by Ridley Scot, with a screenplay by Dan O’Bannon and a story by Ronald Shusett, and the producers are Gordon Carroll, David Giler, and Walter Hill.

One of my favorite films and I've never watched it on the big screen in a theater. So, I'm plan on going. If you are an Alien fan you might enjoy this.

I wonder which version they’re going to show.

They’ll probably show all of the prior Alien movies in theaters between now and when the new one is released.

I wish that Ridley Scott had finished off the Prometheus arc. I was looking so forward to the third installment.

I believe that one was James Cameron.

I went to see that film after hearing that it was the new Star Wars, but was greatly disappointed. I almost walked out in the middle of it.

I was thinking theatrical release or director’s cut versions.

Saw it in theater, or saw some of it in theater.... when Dallas was crawling through the air ducts I had my head down. Not a great fan of scary movies.

I saw it on the big screen opening weekend.
No one had said anything about it and it was rated “R”
I figured...what are they going to show...naked aliens?
Took me over 10 years to see it again.

Excellent film but dang that was scary!

Movie theaters are more horrifying than anything in the movie. Good luck!

Funny, I went to see star wars expecting to see a 2001 quality film, and got a children’s movie.
