The new trailer for the Fede Álvarez-directed Alien: Romulus has been released, and it’s suitably terrifying.
Following the first teaser, the first major look at the upcoming movie gives us a clearer idea of the plot. We see the group of young space cadets make their trip to a space station to escape the monotony of Earth, before finding out something is hunting them… There’s lots of gore too, and naturally an alien bursting from someone’s chest, which looks like it was what was seen inthe CinemaCon footage shown earlier this year. Watch the full trailer below.
Inan exclusive breakdown of the first trailer with Total Film, Álvarez confirmed Alien: Romulus takes place 20 years after the original, while Ripley is in hypersleep.
Starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, and Spike Fearn, Alien: Romulus hits theaters on August 16.
