To fans' surprise, the recent franchise film titled Alien: Romulus actually featured a CGI depiction of Holm, offering his character a notable role in the new, original narrative. So, what went into the decision to recreate Holm for this particular story? Here's what he had to say during a new interview regarding the subject. Ian Holm's Family Approved of His Likeness Being Used for Alien: Romulus Filmmaker Fede Álvarez tells the Los Angeles Times, 'We were not trying to do what can't be done, which is to reproduce that person's talent as an actor because this is another character. The only thing they have in common is the likeness. We knew we were going to create an animatronic and that later, we were going to do CGI enhancements in the mouth and in the eyes, depending on the shots. Then the question arose, 'What face does it have? Who is it?' The only one who hadn't reappeared and who we found fascinating was Ian Holm.' He then adds, 'In the last 10 years after The Hobbit, Ian Holm felt like Hollywood had turned its back on him, and his widow felt he would have loved to be a part of this. He loved this character in particular.' All things considered, what are your thoughts on Holm's likeness being used for the newest Alien entry? The 20th Century Studios film Alien: Romulus is in theaters everywhere.
