New Alien movie has wrapped filming ahead of 2024 release
The new Alien movie has wrapped filming with a behind-the-scenes photo letting fans know the film is moving on to post-production.
The highly anticipated space horror film has whipped fans into a frenzy ever since it was first announced in early 2022.
Set to be released in August 2024, the newest addition to the franchise is produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Don't Breathe's Fede Álvarez.
Álvarez has revealed that filming of Alien: Romulus (a working title) has wrapped.

Sharing a black-and-white image yesterday (July 4) on his Instagram, he said: "Time for a celebratory cigar, it’s a wrap!"
The director and horror movie writer can be seen sitting in the doorway of his trailer with sunglasses on, looking out with a cigar in his hands.
Álvarez directed 2013's Evil Dead and wrote Don't Breathe one and two and 2022's Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
As somewhat of a horror specialist, fans are excited to see the ninth outing in the Alien saga with him at the helm.
Fans of the franchise shared their excitement for the new movie on his post saying that they "can't wait" for the first movie stills and trailer to be released.

So far, announced cast members include Dora and the Lost City of Gold and Father of the Bride's Isabela Merced, Industry's David Jonsson, Mare of Easttown's Cailee Spaeny, and Shadow and Bone's Archie Renaux.
Little is known about the movie's plot, but with Álvarez's recent post maybe the director will share more content across social media in the coming months to curb fan's intrigue.
According to Variety, the movie will be released on August 16, 2024.
Much to fan's disappointment, long-time Alien survivor Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has said she will not be in the new feature.
Speaking to Total Film she said: "I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. I put in my time in space!"
