OK. Let’s get this straight:
The main character in “Alien Romulus” is Rain Carradine. She is not related to the famous Carradine Hollywood family. No Carradines — Keith, Robert, Martha Plimpton — appear in the movie.
I was thinking maybe Rain was a member I’d never heard of!
And yet, Caelee Spaeny — was became famous last year as Priscilla Presley and as the young photographer in “Civil War” — plays Rain. No Presleys are in the movie, either.
“Alien Romulus” made $18 million over Thursday and Friday, and it’s on its way to a $40 million weekend. The Carradines should get a cut of the action!
Elsewhere yesterday: “It Ends With Us” is starting to show a little wear and tear after all the negative publicity about Blake Lively dissing director Justin Baldoni. Still, the movie is going to hit $100 million early next week which is amazing considering everything. Maybe it was all planned this way!
You know, Romulus was a character in Roman mythology. He killed his brother Remus around 750 BC, the old days before TikTok. (It’s a long story.) So I guess we’ll get a sequel called “Alien Remus.” Can you imagine someone had to go wake these people up in the afterlife to tell them they’re popular again? Romulus immediately called Hollywood uber lawyer Marty Singer to sue Disney/Fox.
