Rating: R Stars: Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, Aileen Wu, Daniel Betts Writers: Fede Alvarez & Rodo Sayagues, based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon & Ronald Shusett Director: Fede Alvarez Distributor: 20th Century Studios Release Date: August 16, 2024 ALIEN: ROMULUS is the best movie in the ALIEN franchise since ALIENS.
