New Image From Fede Alvarez's 'ALIEN ROMULUS' Reminds Us Just How Terrifying The Xenomorph Is

It’s been 45 years since Ridley Scott scared the crap out of us with ALIEN. The film just had a theatrical re-release and now it won’t be long before the franchise comes back to theaters again.

Fede Alvarez is at the helm of an all new Alien film, ALIEN: ROMULUS and it will be unleashed in theaters on August 16, and USA Today has scored a killer new sneak peek today.

This summer, the monster known as a Xenomorph, will be back in theaters to scare us to pieces and we’re so ready for it.

Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…

“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.”

Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.

Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
