To announce the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, 20th Century Studios sent a VHS videotape to select media outlets, including IGN, featuring new footage from Alien: Romulus. This is the footage that the tape contained.
From producer Ridley Scott and director/writer Fede Alvarez, 20th Century Studios’ “Alien: Romulus” opens in theaters nationwide August 16, 2024. 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.
The film stars Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (“Aftersun”), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.
“Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (“Alien”), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serving as executive producers.

00:00Bobby Wygant, the Texas News.
00:11Sunday, the Ridgely Theater in Fort Worth had the biggest day in its entire history.
00:16But the biggest surprise is the number of parents bringing children to see Aliens.
00:21Did you know that this was an R-rated movie when you brought him?
00:25Are you sorry you brought him?
00:27I am.
00:29Would you recommend to your friends who are your age to go see Alien?
00:33Uh...
00:36According to the National Association of Broadcasters Code,
00:42television cannot show you the more violent scenes from Alien.
01:00Oh my...
01:10Is this really where you want to spend the rest of your life?
01:12You know I don't.
01:19Then this is our only ticket out of here.
01:29What's happening?
01:57What's happening?
02:00There's something in the water.
02:01What do you mean there's something in the water?
02:02I don't know, there's just something in the fucking water.
02:06No!
02:12Fucking thing's hunting us.
02:14Open the door, come on.
02:16Run.
02:23Help me!
02:30Help me!
02:52Are you sure you want to do this?
03:00ALIENS
03:06The Alien franchise holds such an iconic space in cinematic history.
03:12The whole idea behind this film was to really take it back to basics
03:17and make it a pure horror movie again.
03:23This story slips right in between Alien and Aliens.
03:27Rain and her brother Andy are the heart of the story.
03:29Are we leaving?
03:30Denied, again.
03:34I don't want to end up like our parents, do you?
03:37The ship's our way out of here.
03:39Welcome to the Romulus Space Station.
03:42There's a lot of secrets and things they don't know inside that ship that will cost them dearly.
03:50Oh my God.
03:52Just like Ridley did with Alien 1, Fede made a point in not green-screening it.
03:57As a fan of the franchise, he knew it needed to be gritty and grounded
04:01to build every creature for real.
04:04This film brings all of the things that we love from this franchise
04:08so you know it's going to be properly scary.
04:11If you don't stay quiet, we will die.
04:18Andy!
04:22Five...
04:24Four...
04:25Three...
04:26Two...
04:27One...
04:51Come on, hurry up, let's go!
04:57Alright, starting her up. Batteries on.
05:02Lovely.
05:05First time in space, huh?
05:07Yeah.
05:09You too?
05:11Fuel pump.
05:13Two space virgins coming through.
05:15Alright, take a good look outside the window.
05:17That's the way I see it, we're never coming back.
05:22Shit!
05:30It's going to be alright.
05:31Alright.
05:50You sure this is a good idea now?
05:52Sure, Doug.
05:59Here comes the crash!
06:02Shit!
06:19Last size tomb, bitch!
06:31Shit!
07:02Is that...?
07:05Yeah.
07:07That is awesome.
07:20They say Ivaka has the most incredible sunsets.
07:23I've seen them.
07:26I've seen them too.
07:27Incredible sunsets.
07:28I've seen them.
07:32In my dreams.
07:38There she is.
07:42That's not a ship.
07:43No.
07:46What is that?
07:47Decommissioned outpost.
07:48I don't know.
07:49Probably got dragged into our orbit.
07:51Okay, let's get closer, please.
07:53Good.
07:54I'm going to match its roll.
