"Alien: Romulus" Revives Franchise with Standalone Horror Story

Set between the original "Alien" and "Aliens," the film promises a return to the series' horror roots under director Fede Álvarez.

"Alien: Romulus," directed by Fede Álvarez, is not a direct sequel to "Alien: Covenant" but a standalone film set between the original "Alien" and "Aliens."
The film takes the franchise back to its horror roots, featuring a young crew on a derelict space station facing the iconic Xenomorphs.
Ridley Scott, director of the original "Alien," serves as a producer on "Alien: Romulus," which aims to evoke the flavor of the earlier films.
The new trailer teases a suspenseful and terrifying experience, reminiscent of the franchise's early entries.
"Alien: Romulus" is set to release in cinemas on August 16, 2024, promising a revival of the classic sci-fi/horror series.
