First Alien: Romulus Trailer Channels the True Terror of the Alien Franchise

Be prepared to be terrified in the best way possible. Here is the first trailer for Alien: Romulus.

The sci-fi/horror-thriller 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. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (“Aftersun”), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (“Alien”), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serving as executive producers.

Alien: Romulus – Only in theaters: 08/16/24

A Wonderful Cello + Guitar Cover of ASHES ON THE FIRE From Attack on Titan [Video]

From Nicholas Yee:

The Final Season of Attack on Titan kicks off with a time jump, a new setting a new animation style. Ashes on the Fire is the perfect piece to underscore this new direction for the series, with its intense energy and grand choral orchestration. It’s also just so much fun to play, and David and I wanted to take a shot at recreating that energy just by looping our instruments.

How Every Letter from Our Alphabet Came to Be [Video]

Ever wondered how each letter of the English alphabet came to be? Dive into the fascinating journey with language expert Olly Richards as he unveils the origins of every letter, from A to Z. Each letter carries its own unique story, starting as pictograms with little resemblance to their modern forms. Through a journey spanning ancient cultures and languages, these symbols evolve, often passing through Greek and Latin influences before settling into the familiar shapes we know today.
