The firs👍t unsettling look at Alien: Romulus is finally here and, rather unsurprisingly, it's chock full of Facehuggers and centers a frightened group of youngsters trying to evade the snapping jaws and claws of the titular terrifying Xenomorph. But dare to delve deeper, and the trailer seem🐼s to promise mystery mixed in with its horror...

Priscilla's Cailee Spaeny gets a Ripley-esque introduction in the teaser, which you can watch above, as her character Raines emerges from an elevator holding a Pulse rifle – an undeniable reference to Sigourney Weaver's iconic hero stepping out of the cargo elevator on her way to the Queen's nest in Aliens. 

With that, it seems obvious to assume she's the lead, supported by a cast that consists of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Madame Web's Isabela Merced, David Johnsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Alieen Wu. 🌳;

Before that, though, the clip ratchets up the tension, as the camera tracks dimly lit space station corridors, with not a soul in sight. As it moves, we start to hear certain characters whimpering and sobbing, before voices can be heard shouting things like, "I don't know what it is," "Get it away fr♌om me," and "Open the doo🐽r!" Then, a bloodcurdling scream lets rip as we pan to see a doorway covered in the gooey red stuff... Shudder...

Spaeny 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously revealed where the movie is set in the franchise's timeline in a recent interview with explaining: "It's supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie." In 澳ꦺ洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:an exclusive trailer bre༒akdown with Total Film, director Fede Alvarez confirmed it takes place 20 years after the original, while Ripley is in hypersleep. "Technology in the world of Alien can change vastly, but I think it's not dependent on time. It's depe♓ndent on place, where you are," he noted.

"So the characters of this movie and the world are very blue-collar. The technology is still very low-tech and analogue. And, look, I'm a▨ kid from the ‘80s. Any monitor with some VHS tracking issues puts a lot of joy in my heart."

While we've only just got our first🌌 glimpse at the new sci-fi horror sequel, director of the 1979 original Ridley Scott has seen the whole movie, and fortunately for Alvarez, he's a big fan.

"He wanted to watch it on his own. Because it was Alien," Alvarez🐷 previously revealed while . "It was very important to him. He didn't want to have anybody in the room. That makes ꧃me even more terrified while I'm waiting. And then he walks into the room and he did say, 'Fede, what can I say? It's fucking great.'"
