'Alien: Romulus' director Fede Alvarez breaks down the new trailer for the upcoming film, teases its connections to past films and new tricks.
Christian Holub is a writer covering comics and other geeky pop culture. He's still mad about 'Firefly' getting canceled.. But the director’s upcoming Xenomorph movie, which just released its first trailer, also isn’t afraid to play around with familiar formulas.“I knew that I wanted to go back to the roots, to the era of the first film, and so that indicates much of the design right away,” Alvarez says.
Alvarez elaborates, “We’ve got puppeteering, animatronics, all the old-school techniques. We had the right guys because they worked on the originals. So, for some creatures, we needed those guys to nail the look and make them exactly as you’ve seen them in the past. But then when we needed something new, we had those guys as well, so that we made sure we’re faithful to the spirit of the original movies.
“Without spoiling too much, it is a glimpse of a scene that plays differently than other movies — and not just Alien movies,” Alvarez says when asked about this image. “It's always great when you can do something in a movie, and you realize while shooting it, ‘Well, this has never been seen before in the history of humanity.
