The first trailer for the all new Alien film, from director Fede Álvarez, has arrived to show off some chilling Xenomorph action.
After the incredible success (and general awesomeness) of the Predator franchise revival, Prey, I’ve been eager to see if 20th Century could bring the same magic to the Alien franchise. Don’t get me wrong, I actually loved Covenant, but the franchise has been dormant ever since. Today, we’ve got our first look at Alien: Romulus and it sure looks like Fede Álvarez is delivering a banger:
If all that’s not enough for you, there’s also a very sleek poster to go with it:
The sci-fi/horror-thriller 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 (“Priscilla”), 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 is set to hit theaters on August 16, 2024.
