The final trailer for the latest entry in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus has been released. The new entry goes back to the core horror of the franchise, featuring a group of young space colonizers exploring a broken-down space station before they encounter members of the terrifying alien species, the Xenomorphs. The film acts as a standalone with the events taking place after Alien (1979) and before Aliens (1986).
The trailer starts with the gang arriving at the decrepit ship and stumbling upon a cluster of alien fetuses. From there things escalate and the characters are shown being chased by the extraterrestrial threats throughout the spaceship. The scenes include plenty of classic body horror that the franchise is renowned for including aliens jumping on faces and popping out of chests. In the end, fans get a glimpse at a fully grown Xenomorph in its terrifying glory. The film, directed and written by Fede Alvarez with main producer Ridley Scott, stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu all seen in the trailer.
Alien: Romulus opens in theaters nationwide on August 16 and will be available in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and formats everywhere. Advance tickets are now available on Fandango’s website or wherever tickets are sold.
