Alien: Romulus director says it's 'unfair' [REDACTED] wasn't deepfaked until now

has a lot of problems that fans can quibble over.

One person who thinks this is fine is director Fede Álvarez. Ever the company man, Álvarez says that it was the late Ian Holm’s time to have his likeness exploited for a bit of fan service, using the dispiriting CG and deepfake AI technology, which probably explains why it looks so bad. Holm’s estate approved of his likeness’ usage, but that doesn’t account for the result. Either way, Álvarez thinks it was time to use Holm as the android, even though Winona Ryder is right there.

“It was unfair that the likeness of Ash was never used again. Lance Henriksen has been used a few times. Michael Fassbender got to do it a few times,” Álvarez toldas he spoke of two living actors who reprised the roles in flesh and blood. Using his head cast from, the team at Legacy Effects could make a really creepy simulacrum of the legendary performer. Very cool.

Thankfully, Álvarez, a savvy Hollywood powerbroker, blamed the decision on Ridley Scott. “So when we started thinking about the likeness of this character with Ridley, it was going to be a torso that we would build. So it didn’t need to be the likeness of a current working actor, and Ridley was the one who said, ‘Ash was always the best. He needs to make a comeback.
