Director/writer Fede Alvarez and cast members from the upcoming sci-hi/horror-thriller Alien: Romulus including Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, and Spike Fearn took to the stage of Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center earlier today for a special Comic-Con panel in partnership with IMAX®. Tickets are now available for purchase at Fandango or wherever tickets are sold. The film from producer Ridley Scott opens exclusively in theaters nationwide August 16, 2024.   

The panel featured exclusive footage from the film Alien: Romulus. Also, the filmmakers brought special taped content from Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro, and Dan Trachtenberg. During the presentation, a swarm of facehuggers flooded the room, overtaking the stage and facehugging a few attendees in the process! The culmination of the stunt was the iconic chestburster moment on the floor of Hall H. It definitely surprised and terrified Comic-Con attendees. At the panel’s conclusion, all attendees got their own facehugger mask, which they wore for a group photo with Alvarez and the cast. 

Alien: Romulus  takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots. In the upcoming film, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe while scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station.

Fede Alvarez directs Alien: Romulus from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues. The film based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Alien: Romulus is produced by Ridley Scott, who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss, and Walter Hill, with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon, Brent O’Connor, and Tom Moran serving as executive producers.
