Alien: Romulus hits Singapore theatres on Aug 15! Get ready for a terrifying interquel filled with chaos, critiques, and intergalactic fun!
The horror legend returns! Set to hit Singapore theatres on August 15, 2023, "Alien: Romulus" is the latest film to creep into the hearts of fans. This standalone film takes place during the dark gap between the iconic 1979 "Alien" and the thrilling 1986 sequel, "Aliens," promising a whole new layer of fear and uncertainty for both die-hard fans and newcomers to the franchise. Picture this – creepy space settings, unpredictable aliens, and characters you're not sure whether to love or hate. It’s the perfect recipe for a sci-fi horror that will leave you on the edge of your seat!
The stakes are high, and so is the anticipation! Predictions suggest that "Alien: Romulus" could claw its way to a solid $28 million to $38 million during its opening weekend. That’s a hefty amount, especially as it’s competing fiercely with other summer blockbusters. Super fans of the franchise will be flocking to cinemas to witness Fede Alvarez’s take on the terrifying world, and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to face the universe’s most famous monster once again?
In the process of bringing "Alien: Romulus" to life, director Fede Alvarez received some intriguing feedback from cinematic visionary Ridley Scott. Scott, the original mind behind the franchise, expressed his relief when he finally watched the film, sharing his unique advice with Alvarez. It’s fascinating to think about such legendary figures collaborating and giving notes, almost like a generational passing of the torch, or in this case, the flame-thrower! Can you feel the tension?
If you’re a bit rusty on the lore of "Alien," there’s no need to worry! While “Romulus” is nestled snugly between two iconic films, you won’t need to binge-watch the originals to understand what’s happening. Just dive into the intense atmosphere and quirky character dynamics that mark this series. Whether you’re looking for a great scare or an exciting film experience, you’re in for a thrilling ride!
As for some fun facts to chew on: Did you know that "Alien: Isolation," developed by Creative Assembly, is considered a horror classic in the gaming industry? Just like the film, it’s loaded with suspense, giving players a heart-pounding experience of surviving amidst xenomorph chaos. Furthermore, Fede Alvarez, known for his work in horror films like "Evil Dead," brings a unique twist to "Alien: Romulus," promising fresh scares while maintaining the essence of what makes the franchise a staple in the horror genre. Looks like the aliens are here to stay at the top of our screens!
