As a seasoned gamer and die-hard fan of the Alien franchise, I must say that Fede Álvarez has truly outdone himself with Alien: Romulus. Having grown up watching Ridley Scott’s masterpiece, I can attest to the sheer dedication and passion poured into this film. The way they matched the lighting and color with footage from the original Alien is nothing short of impressive.
In the role of director for “Alien: Romulus”, Fede Álvarez aimed to create a movie that closely resembled Ridley Scott’s original “Alien” in appearance. Given that “Alien: Romulus” takes place between the occurrences of “Alien” and “Aliens”, it was crucial for Álvarez to craft a film that fit seamlessly within that cinematic universe.
During an interview with SFX magazine, Álvarez detailed their method of aligning footage from Romulus with Alien, achieving a harmonious blend through matching the illumination and color schemes.
As a dedicated gamer, I can confidently say that we’ve got the original 35mm print of Alien scanned, and I’ve compared it directly with ours. It wouldn’t matter much unless we put in the hard work during production to make our version stand out.
In creating the sets, Álvarez and production designer Naaman Marshall found inspiration in the artwork of Ron Cobb, particularly his designs for the movie Alien.
As a game enthusiast, I unearthed a treasure trove of unused concept art from the films we’re working on. Fascinated by these unseen visions, I found a way to draw inspiration from them and breathe life into our current project.
