No horror movie this year is more feverishly anticipated than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alien: Romulus. Taking equal inspiration from Ridley Scott’s seminal, slow-burn chiller and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron’s masterfully muscular sequel, Romulus ♏is synthesising Alien and Aliens into one perfect cinematic organism, while adding fresh ideas and fresh blood all of its own.

Set predominantly aboard the abandoned Weyland-Yutani research station the Renaissance, and some two decades after the destruction of the Nostromo in Alien, Romulus sees a young crew of scavengers in search of a way out and a brighter future, only to find the perfect killing machine instead. Civil War’s Cailee Spaeny heads up the cast as Rain Carradine, alongside her synthetic ‘brother’ Andy, played by Rye L✱ane star David Jonsson.

Director and co-writer Fede Alvarez has previous form reimagining legendary horror properties, having helmed 2013’s vicious Evil Dead remake, and looks set t🧸o bring a similar mix of reverence, reinvention and ultraviolence to Alien: Romulus. It’s placement on the timeline between the events of Alien and Aliens also means Alvarez will draw upon two masterworks stylistically and tonally, while potentially drawing narrative connections to the series at large.
