Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Alien: Romulus promises to be an exciting next step in the popular franchise, yet one creature update simultaneously harkens back to the series' roots while correcting its previous mistakes. Directed by Evil Dead and Don't Breathe's Fede Álvarez, the movie already has impressive horror credentials.
Related Alien: Romulus - Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know With Fede Álvarez at the helm of the new Alien movie the franchise is heading in a promising direction, but what is Alien: Romulus about? Alien: Romulus’ Creatures & Sets Are All Practical Arguably the most important aspect of any Alien movie is the creature itself, and in this regard, Álvarez has signaled that Alien: Romulus represents a departure from most of the most recent films in the series.
This suggests that during up-close encounters with the iconic creature, Alien: Romulus will rely on practical rather than computer-generated effects. However, this is not to say that Alien: Romulus will be devoid of modern effects. The teaser trailer has already revealed zero gravity scenes and legions of scampering facehuggers, all of which will require VFX, while Álvarez himself has expressed his passion for technology.
Where the impact of practical effects is most noticeable, however, is in scenes with the xenomorph itself. Not only do the animatronic creatures in Alien and Aliens feel more believable than their sleek, computer-generated counterparts in later films, but the limitations of practical effects actually end up enhancing the horror. Just like the shark in Jaws, the original alien skulks in the shadows largely unseen, making it seem even more strange and terrifying.
