According to Disney's Q1 financial report, the "Alien" movie directed by "The Evil Dead" and "Breathless" director Fede Alvarez finally has an official title: "Alien: Romulus" and is currently scheduled to be released on August 16, 2024.
According to actress Cailee Spaeny, who plays the heroine in the film, the story of "Alien: Romulus" takes place between "Alien 1" and "Alien 2". The film invited James Cameron's team that shot "Alien 2".
In an interview with foreign media "Variety", Cailee Spaeny said: "They invited the same team that James Cameron directed in "Alien 2". The same people who built Alien came back to build our Alien.
It was incredible to see the original designs and see the people who had been working on these films for over 45 years and who considered these films their lives. "
The film is described as "an original independent feature film" that will focus on "a group of young people living on a distant planet." Spaeny stars alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the screenplay with Rodo Sayagues (The Evil Dead). Ridley Scott serves as the film's producer, marking the first time the series has been distributed by Disney.
