'Alien' fans are in for a brutal ride
If face-sucking aliens are your thing, then step right up because we’ve got the movie just for you.
The 'Alien' franchise is set to terrify audiences once again with its latest installment, 'Alien: Romulus'. The official trailer, released by 20th Century Studios, plunges viewers into the depths of a derelict space station where a group of young space colonizers encounter the most horrifying life form in the universe.
Directed by Fede Alvarez, known for his work on 'Evil Dead' and 'Don’t Breathe', 'Alien: Romulus' promises to be a heart-pounding addition to the iconic series. The trailer teases a gripping narrative filled with suspense, dark corridors, and the series’ trademark xenomorph terror. Alvarez, alongside screenwriter Rodo Sayagues, aims to bring the franchise back to its horror-centric origins, focusing on the primal fear of the unknown.
The cast features rising stars such as Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, and Archie Renaux, who bring fresh faces to the battle against the extraterrestrial threat. Ridley Scott, the visionary director of the original 'Alien' film, serves as a producer, hopefully ensuring that the new movie remains true to the spirit of the series.
With a release date set the August 16, 2024, 'Alien: Romulus' is poised to be a standout film in the franchise.
