With all the excitement coming out of Comic-Con for Fede Alvarez’s ALIEN: ROMULUS panel, fans can tell the filmmaker gets it. For those of us who saw Alien and Aliens in the cinema opening night in 1979 and 1986, along with the screams and cheers from the audience, he knows what a Alien movie should be! He’s sticking with canon and it’s going to be vicious fun.

With an energetic enthusiasm for the franchise, Alvarez decided to go back to the basics when shooting the film. “I knew that I wanted to take this chapter back to the beginning, not only story-wise but in terms of visual style,” explains Alvarez. “I wanted to keep it simple and focus on a few characters you could get to know and love.”

A new sneak peek from Alvarez’s ALIEN: ROMULUS has been released. Check it out, as well as these scary new posters.

A truly terrifying cinematic experience from director/writer Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) and producer Ridley Scott, “Alien: Romulus” opens exclusively in theaters nationwide August 16, 2024, and will be available in IMAX®, Dolby Cinema®, Screen X, 4DX, and premium screens everywhere.

“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.

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.

To create a visually spectacular world that transports audiences to the darkest corners of the universe, director/co-screenwriter/executive producer Fede Alvarez recruited an impressive creative team, including director of photography Galo Olivares (“Gretel & Hansel”), production designer Naaman Marshall (“Don’t Breathe”), editor Jake Roberts, ACE (“Civil War”), visual effects supervisor Eric Barba (“Oblivion”), costume designer Carlos Rosario (“Shogun”), set decorator Zsuzsanna Sipos (“Dune: Part Two”), prosthetics makeup designer Ivān Pohārnok (“Midsommar”), property master Graeme Purdy (“Spider-Man: Far From Home”), and special effects supervisor Gábor Kiszelly (“Poor Things”).

The score is by Golden Globe®-, BAFTA-, two-time GRAMMY Award®-, Emmy Award®-, and five-time World Soundtrack Award-nominated composer Benjamin Wallfisch. (“IT” and “IT: Chapter Two,” “Shazam!” “Annabelle: Creation” and music based on Elgar’s Enigma Variations for “Dunkirk.” His most recent project is “Kraven the Hunter,” directed by J. C. Chandor, to be released in the fall of 2024.)

ALIEN: ROMULUS will make it’s UK premiere on August 15 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and will open the Midnight Madness program.
