Alien: Romulus Star Describes “Disgusting” Taste of Facehugger

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).

Overwatch 2 Devs Break Down Juno’s Development, Backstory (Exclusive)

On August 20th, Tuesday next week, Season 12 of Overwatch 2, titled New Frontiers, is set to debut, bringing a wealth of fresh content for the game and introducing its 41st character, Juno. To provide some background on this upcoming hero, Blizzard has already released an origin story in the form of a motion comic about Juno. This comic, narrated by voice actress Xanthe Huynh, reveals that Juno’s family was part of a clandestine Mars colonization project initiated by the game’s company Lucheng Interstellar, called Project Red Promise. The reason for Juno’s Earth return is to seek help for her family who are still living on Mars. ComicBook had the opportunity to interview members of the Overwatch 2 team to learn more about the development process behind Juno and her role within the game’s roster.
