For fans of “Alien: Romulus” looking to watch from home, the controversial Ian Holm CGI has been corrected for folks awaiting the home entertainment release, director Fede Álvarez assured. He said it looks “way better” than what fans saw in theaters.
“We fixed it,” Álvarez told Empire in a recent interview, acknowledging that a lot of fans thought the film fumbled its CGI recreation of Holm, who reappeared in the film as android Rook, the same make and model of the iconic Ash in the original “Alien.”
Holm, however, died in 2020, and “Alien: Romulus” got permission from his widow to incorporate his likeness into the film using CGI technology.
