The countdown to Alien: Romulus has already begun, and there are only a few days left until the grand premiere of the eighth film in the iconic franchise. Fede Alvarez is directing this installment, which is full of drama and horror.
The story, set between the events of the 1979 Alien and the 1986 Aliens, follows a group of young people from a distant world who must confront the most terrifying life form in the universe.
Cailee Spaeny stars as the main character, but she is certainly not the only well-known figure in the cast. The star is joined by Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Aileen Wu and Spike Fearn.

As many creators do, several versions of this melody have been made, one of which is by ChromaCat Music, who has a YouTube channel where they upload their epic versions of music.
