20th Century Studios has revealed a new trailer for Fede Alvarez’s upcoming Alien: Romulus…it whips a lot of ass.
I, generally, try and keep things more professional in these posts, but folks, there’s simply no other way to put it. This Alien: Romulus trailer fucking rules:
Everything about this trailer had me on the edge of my seat. The visuals are sharp and slick, feeling both modern and in keeping with the aesthetics of the original films. The tension of the tight spaces as the, literal, pounding of the Alien working to burst from a chest, is palpable. Combine that with some great action/horror shots, and the clever use of silence…and this is a trailer for the history books.
“Alien: Romulus” takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (“Civil War”), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (“Aftersun”), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (“Alien”), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serving as executive producers.
Alien: Romulus hits theaters on August 16, 2024.
