With throwbacks to the ALIEN, ALIENS and ALIEN3 movies, featuring facehuggers, trackers, the Xenomorph and female protagonist, this new trailer for ALIEN: ROMULUS, made for the die hard fans dropped today. There are winks and nods to all the original movies.

The all-new sci-hi/horror-thriller from producer Ridley Scott and director/writer Fede Alvarez opens exclusively in theaters nationwide August 16, 2024.  

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.

Check out this past weekend’s interview with the director at Monsterpalooza. Alvarez said: “I want to believe in the canon of this movie is like gospel. I played “Alien: Isolation” and its what made me want to make this movie. I played 10 years ago. I was playing the game and I think we felt like ALIEN wasn’t that scary anymore. In playing the game and being terrified, I was like, this is can be actually terrifying and that’s when my mind start going like, oh man, someone give me a chance to make this movie, so definitely playing the game many times, I thought how do you reproduce the atmosphere? You hire these guys, you hire the people that worked on them.” He went onto say, “I tried to get everybody that was involved in those movies to get them back and also channel my own emotions of how I felt when I watched that and what what will create the same emotion today.”

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.
