Disney's 'ALIEN' Film Sets Release Date For Summer 2024

Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) is directing the next ALIEN film for the massive franchise and this will be the first ALIEN film that Disney will be releasing.

Disney has just dated Alvarez’s Alien for August 16, 2024. The project doesn’t yet have an official title, but we’ve been told it’s set to be a gritty and contained horror movie.

Alvarez is directing the brand new Alien movie for Ridley Scott and 20th Century Studios, with Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leading the cast. Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu also star.

The project is described as “an original standalone feature.”

THR recently previewed, “Plot details are being kept in a cryochamber, but as opposed to the other movies which focused on adults in corporate, militaristic and scientific roles, this now-ninth installment of the franchise will focus on a group of young people.”

“In this ninth entry in the immensely popular and enduring film series, a group of young people on a distant world find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”

Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead).
