Great New ALIEN: ROMULUS Featurette Features More New Footage
20th Century Studios has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming sci-fi horror film Alien: Romulus. It was also announced the tickets are now on sale.
The video features director Fede Alvarez, Cailee Spaeny, and talking about the movie and offers more insight into the story and the characters. It also includes a good amount of new footage! I’m excited for this movie and I think Alvarez is going to deliver a great Alien film.
The movie 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.”
When talking about the movie, the director said: “My first instinct, just to try something different that hasn't been seen before, was to approach it from the angle of characters who are not professionals or scientists; they're not even adults.
“I liked this concept of putting people in the front seat of the story who are closer to what the audience is — not that the audience is young, more that the audience is completely virgin to the realities of space.
“When the characters are professionals, they know more than you do. But when they’re still in their early 20s, they don’t know how to operate the f---ing airlock.”
The movie also stars Isabela Merced, who is also joined by Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), and newcomer Aileen Wu.
Alvarez is directing from his script written by Rodo Sayagues. Ridley Scott is also a producer on the movie along with Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler) for Scott Free, with Brent O’Connor (Bullet Train), Elizabeth Cantillon (Persuasion) and Tom Moran (The Donut King) serving as executive producers.
Alien: Romulus is set to hit theaters on August 16th!
A horrifying return to the big screen.
