The Big Picture Fans of the sci-fi horror genre are chomping at the bit for 20th Century Studios' Alien: Romulus, the Fede Álvarez-directed film that will help fill in some of the gaps in the iconic Alien franchise. With the film's release just months away, a new look at Alien: Romulus has been revealed depicting the film's interstellar laboratory, the Romulus Lab, which appears to be hiding some dark secrets.
What will occur inside this lab is anyone's guess. However, given the title of the film, the Romulus Lab will likely play an integral role in the plot of the project, which is set between the original 1979 film Alien and its sequel, 1986's Aliens. Few story details have been released, but Alien: Romulus will follow space colonziers who find themselves aboard a seemingly destroyed space station. The group, led by Cailee Spaeney's Rain, soon find out they are not alone.
Who Else Is in 'Alien: Romulus'? Beyond Spaeney leading the charge, Alien: Romulus will also star Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Spike Fearn, Archie Renaux, and Aileen Wu. Most of the group's roles have not been fleshed out, though from the footage that has been revealed, it appears that the majority will be joining Rain on the space station for at least part of the film.
Álvarez directedAlien: Romulus from a script he wrote with Rodo Sayagues, and also serves as an executive producer. The film is produced by Ridley Scott, the director of the original film, for his Scott Free Productions banner alongside Michael Pruss, while Walter Hill produces for Brandywine Productions. Alien: Romulus Sci-FiHorror Young people from a distant world must face the most terrifying life form in the universe.
