Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe 1 & 2 director Fede Alvarez is staking his claim in one of the most celebrated sci-fi franchises in history. For this, we turn to a debut look at Alien: Romulus which opens in theaters on August 16 from Twentieth Century Studios.
Alvarez directs from a script he penned with Rodo Sayagues for a cast that lists Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu. Of course, we have (per the usual) a shit ton of facehuggers and unfriendly xenomorphs to welcome the occasion, and is that Ms. Spaeny in the teaser footage below with an M41A? Word??!
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 first official teaser and trailer is out, and so is the poster… No, the real one. Indeed Nuno Sarnadas’s viral tribute poster is one of the dopest but the studio assets are finally out. We can all breathe now (unless Alvarez shepherds a third!…).
