Alien: Romulus director teases the film is 'pure horror.'
Alien: Romulus is heading the theaters next month, and the new sci-fi/horror-thriller is expected to take the beloved franchise back to its roots. The film stars Cailee Spaeny , David Jonsson , Archie Renaux , Isabela Merced , Spike Fearn , and Aileen Wu. Fede Álvarez helmed the film from a script he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues .
"The whole idea behind this film was to really take it back to basics and make it a pure horror movie again," Álvarez teases in the featurette. It's also confirmed that the film is set between Alien and Aliens."A horrifying return to the big screen," 20th Century Studios captioned the video."Experience Alien: Romulus in IMAX. In theaters everywhere August 16.
What Is Alien: Romulus About?Alien: Romulus is being billed as more of a spinoff rather than a direct continuation of the Alien franchise and will see a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. Álvarez has previously opened up about how a deleted scene from James Cameron's Aliens featuring young colonists inspired Romulus' story.
"My first instinct, just to try something different that hasn't been seen before, was to approach it form the angle of characters who are not professionals or scientists; they're not even adults," he said."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.
