With a Bachelor's Degree in journalism, John has always enjoyed writing, particularly for film and television, going so far as to minor in film studies.

The Big Picture Fans are undoubtedly excited for the next installment of the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus. Between new images and a recent trailer, director Fede Álvarez looks to have directed a truly chilling entry into the long-running sci fi series. And to add to that excitement, Álvarez revealed in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Romulusprimarily uses practical effects in the film.

"For the creatures, we brought in all the guys from 'Aliens.' They were in their early twenties when they made 'Aliens,' and they were a part of Stan Winston's team. And now we had them at the top of their game. They have their own shops, and so we brought them all together to work on all the creatures , because we went with all animatronics and puppets at every level. I even got the chance to be under the table with them, puppeteering all these animatronics.

"I have this obsession with no green screens, so we built every creature and set. Everything had to be built so we were really living and breathing in these spaces. But I'm not an anti-CG guy. I come from a background where I know how to build the effects myself. I still do VFX shots in my movies to this day. It's just whatever is best for the shot, and when it comes to face-to-face encounters and moments with creatures, nothing beats the real thing.
