In ten short days, the latest addition to the Alien franchise “Alien: Romulus” helmed by Fede Álvarez, will make its grand entrance in theatres. Two fresh trailers have recently appeared online to introduce the character performed by Cailee Spaeny (known from “Priscilla”), as well as revealing some key scenes and spoilers from the movie!

Álvarez’s Connection to the Alien Franchise

Back in 2022, when the film was first talked about, we learned that Álvarez had pitched his idea to Ridley Scott (the big guy who created the original Alien) years ago. It was so good, Ridley didn’t forget it. And so, at the end of 2021, he dialed up Álvarez and asked if he was still keen on directing an Alien flick. It was a resounding yes from Álvarez.

Steve Asbell, the boss at 20th Century Studios, stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that they greenlit this movie because Álvarez’s plot was too good to ignore. They appreciated that it brought new characters to the mix, something fans had not seen before.

“Alien: Romulus” – A Fresh Take

What makes “Alien: Romulus” even cooler is that it’s not directly connected to all the other Alien films but it isn’t trying to ignore or contradict them, either. Álvarez made it clear that he’s staying true to the timeline we all know and love. His story rests snugly between the happenings of the first Alien movie and its sequel, Aliens.

The official brief for this sci-fi/horror-thriller reads like a classic Alien plot: A group of young space settlers scavenge the deep corners of an abandoned space station, only to come face-to-face with the universe’s most terrifying life form.

Star-Studded Cast

Our new heroine, played by Spaeny, is joined by an exciting ensemble including Isabela Merced (from “Madame Web”), David Jonsson (“Industry”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Spike Fearn (“The Batman”), and Aileen Wu (“Away from Home”). A particularly interesting tidbit came from Merced, who revealed that there is a nasty scene in the movie that will make viewers squirm in their seats. Now, that’s something Alien franchise lovers would expect from a movie directed by the person who gave us Evil Dead 2013 and Don’t Breathe. An R rating for bloody violent content and language further adds to the anticipation.
