The sci-fi/horror-thriller returns to the roots of the immensely popular “Alien” franchise as a group of young space colonizers encounter the most terrifying life form in the universe while exploring a derelict space station.
Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu headline the cast. Fede Alvarez directs from a screenplay co-written with Rodo Sayagues, based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.
Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who helmed the original “Alien” and produced and directed “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” leads the production alongside Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”) and Walter Hill (“Alien”). Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serve as executive producers.
