I really like Weta's work, I'm hoping for a combo of 'good' CGI and practical effects. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we finally get to see a bear get face hugged. lol

I mean Earth could give us interesting new animals as hosts, and considering how I love Alien 3, I'm all for it.

Even a lion or a tiger would be cool to see what would pop out of them. The possibilities are endless.

A slightly bigger or smaller Runner.

I don't want them to go crazy visually.

QuoteHawley was also asked about what route Alien: Earth would be taking with the realization of the Alien effects, something that has caused some concern due to the CG Alien in the recent teaser trailer.

"Mostly practical. I prefer that. Obviously there's some CG, but I always want to feel it in the space and have the actors reacting to real things. I had a guy in a rubber suit. I had WETA working for me. It's so exciting."

Do you mean posterity? But yes good to hear.

Noah I am so goddamn ready.

f**king speed-typing/being a moron. Thanks, I've corrected that.

I guess Weta did the tv-show and Romulus simultaneously?

BigDaddyJohn

Didn't legacy fx worked on Romulus ?

SiL

Weta didn't work on Romulus

Corporal Hicks

Weta did the facehuggers and Offspring for Romulus.

Oh shoot I thought that was all Legacy.

God I hope Hawley is smart enough to not use remote control facehuggers in closeup.

Since there is nothing official available to purchase yet, I was tempted to buy a kind of Making of Romulus booklet for the poor haha. It's really nothing special and pretty simply cobbled together.
We already know most of it from the internet. the thing is called beforeesandafters and
It's a kind of slimmed down Cinefex version printed on cheap paper.
It is also mentioned here which department was responsible for which effect.
Studio Gillies notably made the Offspring Egg and the Chestburster. Legacy the Xenos, Weta the Huggers and Offspring. But even that was already largely known from the internet, so this "work" doesn't actually tell us much that's new.
There are at least a few nice interviews and photos that I didn't know about. for the collection.

BigDaddyJohn

So Legacy did all the adults aliens then ? I liked what they did but not how their work was shot mostly.

SiL

None of the creature effects came out looking great except the Offspring. Everything else was let down by the filming.
