In celebration for ‘Alien Day’ this year, 20th Century Studios is re-releasing Alien: Romulus with a Limited Edition SteelBook featuring unique artwork from renowned British poster artist Matt Ferguson due for release on the 20th April.
Originally released in 2024, Alien: Romulus was a breath of fresh air for the 47-year-old franchise. Directed by Fede Alvarez, this terrifying sci-fi horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien series back to its iconic roots. While scavenging the deep reaches of a derelict space station, a group of young colonizers comes face-to-face with the most relentless and deadly life form in the universe.
The film is Certified-Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes™ and has thrilled audiences at the box office, becoming the second-highest-grossing film in the Alien franchise globally.
Matt Ferguson shared his excitement for this project:
“I loved working on Alien: Romulus when it was released in 2024; the poster I made for the film also ended up being used as the art for a special VHS release. So, it’s super exciting to revisit the art again for this special SteelBook.”
The Limited Edition Steelbook will include the film at 4K Ultra HD™ and is packed with content including:
