Yahoo Movies Alien: Romulus teases gruesome Chestburster scene in final trailer
Alien: Romulus has teased the return of the terrifying Chestbursters in its final trailer.
The upcoming entry in the sci-fi horror franchise comes from Fede Álvarez, and takes place between the events of the first two movies.
Ahead of its release next month, a new trailer has been released that follows a crew who head to an abandoned station called Romulus to steal equipment.

Despite predictions that they will be in and out in half an hour, that clearly won't be the case as it becomes apparent that they're not alone.
In one terrifying scene, some of the team are stuck in a room, unaware that it is filled with Facehuggers, which proceed to attack them before escaping and running after the crew.
Later, one starts to get to feel pain in their chest, and… well, if you're squeamish, we'd advise you to look away.
Romulus stars Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu. Original director Ridley Scott is also on board as a producer, and previously gave the movie his seal of approval.

Meanwhile, Álvarez recently opened up about Romulus' place in the franchise's chronology, explaining: "It was mostly something that made sense for a premise, that it needed to take place a few years after the first one.
"I don't know why I keep hearing that, maybe because I said it, that it takes place between 1 and 2.
"It's true, but I see it more as it takes place after 1, which means the same... It's kind of the child of both movies combined visually, aesthetically and story-wise."
He also confirmed that he used website Xenopedia for reference when writing the movie to avoid breaking established canon.
Alien: Romulus is released in cinemas on August 16.
