Alien Romulus on Disney+: incredible, this human being embodies the most impressive creature of the science fiction film! – Actus cinema

It is a great exclusivity that the Disney+ platform reserved for its subscribers a few days ago. The streaming platform added to its Alien catalog: Romulus, only nine months after its cinema release. The opportunity for those who could not discover the science fiction and horror film of Fede Alvarez on the big screen to catch him quietly in their living room.

This new component, carried by promising actors, follows a group of young travelers who find themselves faced with the most terrifying life of the universe while they start excavations in an abandoned space station.

Offspring not like the others

Please note, the rest of the strongly alien spoile article: Romulus. If you haven't seen it, go your way.

You have to hold your breath by looking at Alien: Romulus, since he offers us scenes under high tension, while the heroes try to survive by facing xenomorphs and facehuggers. But it was not until the last part of the horror film to see the ultimate threat appearing, in the form of a humanoid creature. The latter is none other than the child of Kay (Isabela Merced) who inoculated a black substance in the hope of surviving.

His offspring, a kind of human-Alien hybrid whose design recalls that of the engineers of Prometheus and the “Newborn” of Alien, the resurrection, then appears. The director wanted the creature to be camped by a real actor. He made his choice on Robert Bobroczkyi, a former Romanian basketball player who measures… 2m31.

Transformation

The Alien teams: Romulus have therefore created the costume of offspring from scratch, so that Bobroczkyi can slip into it. With his particular framework and large size, the sportsman is particularly terrifying in this role.

Even if it is his first cinema experience, he did not relieve the task: he devoted six hours a day to put on and remove his prostheses, which gave him particularly hot. The result on the screen combines practical effects and the CGI, to make the whole even more scary.

This is not the first time that cinema has called on actors in the atypical physique to camp science fiction characters. We can cite in this capacity Doug Jones, who camped the Kelpien Saru in the Star Trek universe, the amphibious creature in the form of water or the fauna of the Pan labyrinth…
