Released is a terrifying new Alien: Romulus poster with a Xenomorph towering over a frightened Cailee Spaeny. Directed by Fede Álvarez, this most recent addition to the Alien series promises a fresh interpretation of the venerable sci-fi horror series and falls between the events of Alien and Aliens.
The movie centers on a group of young space travelers on an expedition who come upon the terrible Xenomorph. Among the ensemble are Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, Archie Renaux, David Jonsson, Aileen Wu, and Spike Fearn. Alien: Romulus is set to premiere August 16, 2023.
The 20th Century Studios Brazil poster shows Spaeny's character staring up in panic at the Xenomorph. The creature's teeth are bared, lit by a light from behind, and its terrible presence is enhanced by an eerie fog all around. "They went in search of new life," the tagline running alongside the poster. She discovered them, hints at the terrible revelation the adventurers would find. It implies that their search for solutions will turn dark and bring them personally into the ultimate dream.
Living up to the legacy of its forebears, Alien and Aliens, regarded as some of the best science fiction movies ever produced presents a difficult challenge. With Aliens also getting an acting nomination for Sigourney Weaver, both films, helmedialized by Ridley Scott and James Cameron, respectively, won Oscars for Best Visual Effects. The popularity of these earlier movies has raised great expectations for Alien: Romulus.
Alien: Romulus has promise even under pressure. Álvarez has disclosed that one of the producers, Ridley Scott, approved of the movie. Moreover, the movie respects the legacy of Alien and Aliens, so inspiring it. The most recent posters—including the terrifying Xenomorph reveal—are generating excitement about the movie's premiere.
Romulus, which explores a hitherto unreported era in the chronology, marks the seventh movie in the Alien series. Emphasizing a new generation of characters confronting the famous Xenomorphs, it promises a stand-alone narrative. The excitement for a terrible and exciting new chapter in the Alien universe is steadily rising as fans wait impatiently for the movie to open.
