So far it has been a pretty boring summer in terms of space-related movies, but that will change in August with the release of next Alien film. That’s right, the Alien franchise is still alive and kicking.
Alien: Romulus will be released on August 16th. It will be the seventh film in this series, and set between the events of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). Yes, more backstory, but we know what to expect going forwards or backwards with this series. Plenty of stomach-popping surprises for all.
20th Century Studios provides this storyline:
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.
Check out the trailer, which hits on all the fun bits we expect with any Alien movie.
While we are now 45 years into this series, it is still nice to have something interesting playing this summer. It is always a spectacular view of space travel until everything goes to hell.
