‘Alien: Romulus’ is a work that continues the originality of ‘Alien’ (1979), which is the beginning of science fiction horror and remains a legendary masterpiece in film history. ‘Alien’, created by Hollywood master director Ridley Scott, caused a worldwide sensation upon its release with its overwhelming directing and visuals. Afterwards, ‘Alien 2’ (1986), directed by James Cameron, achieved box office profits exceeding that of the first film, and began to take a unique step forward as an IP. In addition, director David Fincher’s ‘Alien 3’ (1992) and director Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s ‘Alien 4’ (1997) also recorded gradual box office success, and director Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ (2012), which was released as a prequel, ‘Alien: Including ‘Covenant’ (2017), the entire series has earned a total box office profit of over $1.2 billion, continuing its reputation as a representative work of the science fiction horror series.
Director Fede Alvarez said, “Whether you’ve seen the previous work or not, you can enjoy this work as much as you want.” In addition, he described the work as “a love letter to the ‘Alien’ series so far” and said, “For those who have not yet encountered the Alien series, this work will be an ideal first step in getting to know the series.”
According to him, ‘Alien: Romulus’ will be a work that provides a completely new experience and is full of details not only about the characters, but also the story, setting, and the overall ‘Alien’ worldview. In addition, Ridley Scott, the mastermind who created ‘Alien’ and participated as a producer, is also said to have expressed great satisfaction with this film, attracting attention.

Someone’s rescue call, “Help me, someone help me,” heard from inside the quiet spaceship, heightens the tension. Next, facehuggers, the representative characters of the ‘Alien’ series, who attach themselves to people’s faces and lay eggs inside their bodies, appear in droves, and the tense scenes that follow evoke extreme fear. Lastly, ‘Alien’ appears, raising expectations. ‘Alien: Romulus’ is scheduled to be released in theaters in August.
