In space, no one can hear this young cast scream in the Alien: Romulus teaser trailer. Like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, it’s been a while since Ridley Scott’s 2017 sequel to Prometheus titled Alien: Covenant. This time, it seems director Fede Alverez is not going to touch on the birth of the Xenomorphs and going back to old-school Alien scares and thrills. His movie is also approved by Scott and James Cameron effectively making this movie an “interquel” between Scott’s 1979 horror original and Cameron’s 1986 action thriller masterpiece sequel. Looking forward to watching this one in theaters…Or most likely on streaming given how bad the level of grotesque violence that will unfold. Here is the official synopsis and trailer:

The sci-fi/horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (“Aftersun”), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (“Alien”), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serving as executive producers.
