With Alien: Romulus headed to theaters this weekend, you knew it was only a matter of time before The Asylum unleashed their own “mockbuster” knockoff. The title? Alien: Rubicon.
The Asylum will release Alien: Rubicon on Digital outlets August 23, 2024. Watch the official trailer below, which teases the arrival of bootleg Xenomorphs in New York City.
The film will also open in the following theaters on the same day:
- Laemmle Glendale – Glendale, CA
- Hickory Ridge Cinemas – Brunswick, OH
- Trylon Cinema – Minneapolis, MN
- Film Noir Cinema – Brooklyn, NY
- Aurora Cineplex – Roswell, GA
In The Asylum’s latest, “An alien spacecraft lands in the ocean just off the coast of New York and effortlessly destroys everything in the area without moving. The military investigates as the spacecraft heads inland, destroying everything around it with ease. We figure out that it’s a probe, sent EXPRESSLY to let us throw everything we’ve got at it while it heads directly for Washington D.C. If it reaches our Capital, it’ll destroy it and send a signal to the rest of their species to come down and destroy the rest of the planet.
“Everything we throw at the ship fails, and it’s up to our scientists and military to figure out how to stop the unstoppable before it’s too late.”
Michael Paré stars alongside Preston Geer, Paul Logan, Neeley Dayan, Vinney Pugliese, and Tammy Klein. Adrian Avila directed Alien: Rubicon, written by Glenn Campbell.
