The Big Picture As the buzz for the upcoming film Alien: Romulus begins to build, one of its stars, Isabela Merced, has been shedding some light on the newest addition to the Alien franchise, emphasising the film's return to the series' practical effects roots and the unique experience of working under Fede Alvarez's direction.
Isabela Merced is In Awe of the Xenomorphs When asked about the highlights of her experience on set, Merced recalled the awe-inspiring moment she encountered the iconic Xenomorphs for the first time, "Definitely seeing the Xeno for the first time. They used a robot for that. And also, they used a human being, like a really tall person, in the costume and special effects. We had two Xenos on set, at all times, and they were just terrifying," she said.
'Alien: Romulus' is Similar to 'Alien: Isolation' Regarding how Alien: Romulus fits within the franchise's storied history, Merced teased, "Well, it’s 1.5, technically. Oh, my God, I don’t even know what I can say." She further elaborated on the film's tone, drawing parallels to fan expectations and reactions, and intriguingly suggesting the tone would be similar to that of Alien: Isolation, the acclaimed video game which was utterly nerve-shredding.
If Alvarez sticks the landing, Alien: Romulus promises to be a gripping, claustrophobic journey that honours the legacy of Ridley Scott’s original masterpiece while injecting its unique flavour into the beloved franchise. Alien: Romulus opens on August 16th.
