2024 Comic-Con Attendees Terrorised By Facehuggers And Chestbursters At ALIEN: ROMULUS Panel In Hall H Of SDCC
“Alien: Romulus” Panel in Partnership with IMAX® with Director/Writer Fede Alvarez and Cast Features Exclusive, Footage from the Upcoming Sci-Fi/Horror-Thriller, a Swarm of Facehuggers Flooding the Room, and an Iconic Chestburster Moment on the Floor of Hall H
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®. The film from producer Ridley Scott opens exclusively in cinemas August 16, 2024.
During the panel, which featured exclusive footage from the film as well as special taped content from Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro, and Dan Trachtenberg, 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, which surprised and terrified Comic-Con attendees. At the conclusion of the panel, the 6,000+ guests were gifted 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: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.
Fede Alvarez directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues 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.
