Exclusive: Screen Media and Legion M have acquired North American rights to Alexandre O. Philippe’s documentary feature Memory: The Origins of Alien, an exploration of the classic sci-fi film Alien. The companies release the film in theaters this summer, timed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Alien‘s theatrical release.
The deal marks the first since the partnership between Legion M and Css Entertainment, which owns film distributor Screen Media, was announced last December.
It also comes on Alien Day, an annual fan celebration of the 1979 Ridley Scott film. The holiday derives its name because the film’s colonial moon, Acheron, was originally known as Lv-426. Hence, the date of Alien Day has been fixed as April 26 each year.
Memory: The Origins of Alien unearths the largely untold origin story behind Scott’s cinematic masterpiece Alien, and reveals a treasure trove of never-before-seen materials from the archives of Alien...
