As a die-hard Alien fan, I must say that Fede Alvarez has truly outdone himself with “Alien: Romulus“. The level of practical effects used to bring the terrifying Facehuggers to life is nothing short of astounding. It’s not every day you get to watch actors wrestle with an actual physical object instead of a CGI effect.
In the direction of “Alien: Romulus,” filmmaker Fede ?lvarez aimed to immerse viewers in the terror of a Facehugger assault so intensely that it would seem tangible, almost edible. The movie boasts numerous gruesome sequences where characters desperately struggle against the Facehuggers, even as these grotesque parasites force their long, phallic appendages down the victims’ throats. To achieve this realistic depiction, ?lvarez employed practical effects extensively for “Alien: Romulus,” including sophisticated animatronic puppets to create the Facehuggers with numerous joints of movement. This means that when you witness the actors from “Alien: Romulus” battling against a Facehugger, they are grappling with a genuine physical prop (rather than a CGI creation).
Fedor Alvarez and the actors from “Alien: Romulus” dropped by ComicBook’s room during San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Since it wasn’t very polite, but we couldn’t resist, we asked them:
What does it taste like to have a Facehugger in your mouth?
In a word: Lube.
Archie Renaux, playing the character “Tyler,” expressed his feelings about working with silicone in the film: “Wow, this is far from glamorous… There was plenty of lubricant on it to make it seem revolting… It was an incredibly intrusive process.”
Fede Alvarez has confirmed that “Alien: Romulus” may have used an unprecedented amount of lubricant during its film production, which might serve as a source of distress for any aspiring actors. During further discussions with the cast, Alvarez admitted that not only did the actors have to contend with the unsettling nature of the animatronic Facehuggers, but they also had to face their director operating the controls, causing them terror.
“I controlled that scene alongside Archie Renaux. In this scene, Archie experienced a close and somewhat uncomfortable moment; he requested an intimacy coach during filming. As for me, I was given the opportunity to bring the Facehugger creature to life in that particular shot.”
Summary: Exploring the forgotten corners of an abandoned space station, a team of young space pioneers unexpectedly encounters the scariest creature in existence across the cosmos.
Right now, the movie titled “Alien: Romulus” is playing in cinemas and IMAX. The cast includes Cailee Spaeny, who was in “Priscilla” and “Civil War”, as well as David Jonsson from “Industry”, Archie Renaux from “Shadow and Bone”, Isabela Merced known for her roles in “Transformers 5” and “Madame Web”, Spike Fearn from “The Batman”, and Aileen Wu. The film made a staggering $108.2 million worldwide during its debut weekend.
