Director Fede Alvarez is stepping away from the IPs and expanding further into the horror genre as he sets his sights on making a slasher movie next.
"On the horror side I would love to do a good old slasher," said Alvarez to Collider at the Saturn Awards. "I haven’t done that really."
Now, while Alvarez hasn't made an all-out slasher movie yet, the director has definitely solidified himself as an iconic horror director with hits like Alien: Romulus, Don’t Breathe, and the 2013 remake Evil Dead under his belt.
Although it sounds like Alverez is thinking about making a movie akin to the Freddy Kruger or Micheal Myers pics, the director wants to stay away from delving into a big franchise again. "I wouldn’t go for an IP necessarily, but a part of me that’s sort of like very old school ’80s," said Alvarez. "That I would love to do."
But before Alverez can focus on his dream slasher, the director first has an Alien: Romulus sequel on the cards. Alvarez told Collider that the second installment, which he is currently developing a story for, will “go into uncharted waters” and "go to places where you don't know anything that's going to happen."
