Even though the new Alien movie, Romulus, is scheduled for 2024 releases, there are still regions eagerly anticipating their turn. In this context, I’m referring to the upcoming UK premiere of the latest Alien film on Hulu within a week. Given this exciting development, it seems appropriate to discuss an enhancement that has been reported for its home release.
Let me clarify if you’re wondering about the impact of this recent change on the character of Science Officer Rook in ‘Alien: Romulus‘. That’s precisely what I’m referring to. In an interview with Empire, director Fede Alvarez (known for ‘Don’t Breathe’) discussed this very topic regarding his upcoming horror project set for release in late summer. According to him, the reason behind this new interpretation is as he explained.
Due to time constraints during post-production, some shots didn’t meet my full satisfaction as the CGI effects were noticeable. I understand if viewers have criticisms about these aspects. However, we made improvements before its release. I persuaded the studio to invest more money to ensure all parties involved had adequate time to perfect the project and get it right. The end result is significantly improved.
Let me pause to extend my admiration once more to Fede Álvarez, as his candidness following a blockbuster’s failure is a breath of fresh air. Remarkably, we’re discussing “Alien: Romulus”, a project in development at 20th Century Studios that continues to collaborate with these parties despite such open and courteous honesty.
Despite the creator of “Evil Dead” 2013 making improvements on the last-minute inclusion of Ian Holm’s likeness and voice as Romulus, which caused some controversy. Initially, I didn’t mind the effect when I first watched it, but now that I know it has been altered, I feel compelled to rewatch the movie to identify the changes Álvarez mentioned in his subsequent comments.
Originally, Shane Mahan crafted an animatronic likeness of Ian Holm using a head mold from “The Lord of the Rings,” and that specific one was unique. For the home entertainment release, we opted to return more to a puppet version instead, significantly improving it.
It’s great that the improved version of Alien: Romulus could happen because of its box office success. I wish more films could have similar second chances. Reflecting on how The Thing’s 2011 prequel transitioned from practical effects to CGI, it would be fascinating to see the original version of that movie as intended.
At present, I’d like to express my gratitude once more to Fede Álvarez and the team at 20th Century Studios for their recent adjustment. This demonstrates a commendable dedication and affection towards an esteemed franchise, making me even more excited to re-watch one of last year’s favorite movies.
US Hulu subscribers can imitate my actions and stream the revamped version of “Alien: Romulus”, available in 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD for purchase. For those of you in the UK, the thrilling clash between humans, Xenomorphs, and artificial beings will be accessible online from January 15th onwards.
