VIDEO: Xenomorphs Return in the First ‘Alien: Romulus’ Trailer
The first trailer for Alien: Romulus has finally arrived, and the clip has everything that fans of the franchise could ask for.
Set twenty years after the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien but before James Cameron’s Aliens, the upcoming film follows “a group of young people on a distant world, who find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
The film stars Cailee Spaeny as Rain Carradine. The cast is rounded out by David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spoke Fearn, and Aileen Wu.
Ridley Scott also serves as a producer on the film.
Leaning Into Horror
Leaning heavily into the horror genre, the first clip features dark hallways filled with facehuggers, which attack crew members. Next, a chestbuster invades the torso of an unlucky astronaut. Finally, just before the clip ends, Isabela Merced’s character comes face to face with a Xenomorph.
The horror undertones of the film should come as no surprise, as Alien: Romulus is directed by Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez.
Watch the Trailer
Alien: Romulus was initially slated to debut on Hulu before Disney and 20th Century Studios decided to give the film a theatrical release.
