Harry Wilkinson is a filmmaker, teacher, actor, and award-winning screenwriter.
When Ridley Scott's original Alien debuted in 1979, it was a unique and unexpected hit. Emerging in a landscape littered with Jedis, Wookies, Vulcans and Klingons, it seamlessly and effectively blended science fiction with the horror genre in a way that had never been done before. The resulting masterwork is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential science fiction/horror films of all time, deemed "culturally or historically significant" by the Library of Congress.
Janek seems reluctant to get involved with the high-minded goals of the mission until things go awry and he's forced to. Elba plays him as a laconic, slightly cynical anti-hero of the kind the iconic Humphrey Bogart used to play so well. Janek's the last guy to get mixed up in other people's problems until he has no choice. Then, he'll sacrifice himself for a greater cause.
Totally devoted to doing whatever is in her best interest, he is as loyal and trustworthy as Aliens Bishop or Alien: Covenant's Walter ever was. David Jonsson's performance is right on point, with his expressive face and vulnerability giving dimension and impact to a character that could easily have been lost in the shuffle.
Rook and Ash also share a similar prime directive from the Weyland Corp. As a science officer on board the space station Renaissance, Rook's mission is to retrieve what's left of Alien's original Xenomorph and bring them to Weyland along with a serum he's been developing meant to rewrite the DNA of humans so they can survive in space.
