Alien: Romulus arrives in theaters August 16, 2024. Watch the new trailer below!
Alvarez’s movie is set between the events of Alien and Aliens, and it looks to be a true fusion of the two: the claustrophobic ‘haunted house in space’ terror of Ridley Scott’s original classic, and the pumped up action-horror that James Cameron brought the table with Aliens.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus:
“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.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
Based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett, Alien: Romulus is also produced by 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.
