Alien: Romulus Trailer Breakdown: A Thrilling Return to Xenomorph Horror By What a day! What a lovely day! Fede Alvarez revealed the full Alien: Romulus trailer, and it looks pretty friggin’ awesome. The gave us Xenomorphs, lots of acids, explosions, zero-gravity battles, and a whole lotta Facehugger action. I’m intrigued.
Like, very, very intrigued. Read on to see the aspects of the Alien: Romulus trailer that pushed my hype button past ten. Let’s rock! The Alien: Romulus trailer’s best moments The trailer opens with a shot of what looks like Hadley’s Hope hidden behind blinds drenched in red.
At least, I think it’s Hadley’s Hope, as the structure is similar to the main local of James Cameron’s Aliens. Why even show this unless it’s Hadley’s Hope, right? Alvarez has already explained that the picture takes place between Risley Scott’s Alien and Cameron’s Aliens, so perhaps our band of unlucky heroes is part of the terraforming unit that eventually gets infested by the iconic Xenomorph. Are they on the planet when the outbreak occurs, causing them to retreat into space? Or do they leave with a couple of stowaways on board? Or maybe this isn’t Hadley’s Hope but a similar-looking location with no reason to exist besides providing some cheap fan service.
Nah, it’s gotta be Hadley’s Hope. Speaking of fan service, seeing the weird blue haze return is pretty wild. For those unaware, in Scott’s Alien, Ellen Ripley’s doomed crew happens upon thousa.
