Karlston Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 It hits theaters in August. It sure looks like the Alien franchise is making a return to its horror roots. After a brief teaser earlier in the year and some creepy behind-the-scenes footage, 20th Century Studios has released the first full trailer for Alien: Romulus, a standalone film from director Fede Álvarez. In short: it looks scary as hell. It also appears to really stick to the core tenets of the original film, with a small cast; dark, isolated setting; and only hints of the deadly alien itself. The story involves a group of scavengers scrounging around on an abandoned space station, before becoming the unfortunate prey of a xenomorph. It stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and Archie Renaux. The film also has a very good new poster that hints at the importance of the classic space huggers: Romulus will be the first new entry in the franchise since the prequel films, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, which took a detour to explain where the xenomorphs came from. Romulus, on the other hand, looks analogous to Prey, a standalone story in the Predator universe that wasn’t saddled by the canon of its predecessors — and absolutely ruled because of it. Alien: Romulus hits theaters on August 16th. Source Hope you enjoyed this news post.

Mutton Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Oh, I can't wait for this one! There's a real lack of proper, scary horrors that they don't try to turn into a comedy or lower the certificate. I first saw Alien when I was just old enough to remember it (and probably too young to watch it 😁)... for a good number of years I could sort of recall it, but didn't actually know what film it was. It was almost more of a feeling, and I recall wondering if I had even seen it. It really made an impact somewhere in my brain. Eventually I saw it again, and realised it was that film! I've been hooked ever since. Even used to have a full door sized poster on my bedroom door (I was in my late 20's, lol) of an alien bursting through the door. Was a really good poster. My wife thinks I'm weird(er) because for decades I've liked to go to sleep to the various Alien soundtracks, and even enjoy the 'nightmares' that I occasionally get. You know... the sort where you're the one in that ventilation duct with the alien right behind you. Or in a room with no other exits and the alien is coming around the corner, close enough to feel its breath. They usually wake me up at some point, and I try my hardest to get back to sleep to see what happens next. Karlston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Fallout Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 SAD, Jennifer Lopez could and should have been casted too. She would have been an extraordinary well suited crew member and gotten her dream date. Karlston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
