The seventh annual Telluride Horror Show featured several feature-length genre films as well as dozens of shorts from around the world. There were also Q&A’s with directors, stars, producers, and other industry folk as well as a campfire reading from author Joe R. Lansdale, who also participated in a Q&A after a screening of the “Masters of Horror” episode he wrote “Incident On and Off a Mountain Road“.

The Telluride Horror Show takes place in Telluride, Colorado, which is located towards the Southwest corner of the state. Nestled in the mountains, it is one of the most gorgeous and picturesque locations I’ve ever been to in my life. If you have the opportunity to go there, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t BreatheAlien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.

The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.

Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.

The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.

Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.

Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: LegacyPacific Rim Uprisingleads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.

Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.” 

Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
