Here’s a new promo image for Alien: Romulus which features Cailee Spaeny coming face to face with a killer Xenomorph. She doesn’t look very scared.
The Fede Alvarez-directed film 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 stars Cailee Spaeny, 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!
The image is the cover of the French magazine Cinema Teaser, and AvP Galaxy used Photoshop to remove the text and present a clear shot.
