Following Ridley Scott's divisive Prometheus and
Covenant, writer/director Fede Alvarez appears to be getting back to basics
with Alien: Romulus, which appears to have a similar premise to his cult thriller
Don't Breathe.
Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike
Fearn
and Aileen Wu play a group of young colonisers who comes up against
an alien life form while scavenging an abandoned space station.
Alien: Romulus is in cinemas from August 16th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
The sci-fi/horror-thriller 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.
