‘Alien’ Make Up Tests Show A Deformed Hicks (Michael Biehn)
Just the other day we reported that Michael Biehn had been contacted to return to his role as Hicks in Neill Blomkamp’s untitled Alien sequel.
While we questioned the advancement of his talks, apparently they’re already doing makeup tests.
Via Terminator Fans comes a series of makeup tests done by David Woodruff and his company Generation Effects, Inc. for Blomkamp’s sequel that will reteam both Biehn and Sigourney Weaver in their respective roles. The tests show what Biehn would look like if he were to return as Hicks.
Fox has officially signed Blomkamp for the sequel, but there’s no script. Between his concept art and makeup tests, he clearly has a vision, but that needs to be put down on paper. And none of us know what the repercussions will be from poor reviews and a bad opening for Chappie. Hopefully Fox sticks behind Blomkamp in that case, although I’m not exactly sold on these make up tests. I can only hope they look better behind the camera.
Thoughts?
Abigail Cowen (“Stranger Things,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” The Ritual) will lead the cast of psychedelic horror movie The Guide, Deadline reports this week.
James Badge Dale (13 Hours) and Edouard Philipponnat (Napoleon) will also star. Inon Shampanier directs from a script co-written with Natalie Shampanier.
Deadline details, “Abigail Cowen will play a young woman who enters a psilocybin mushroom retreat in an effort to heal past traumas, surrendering herself to the care of a psychedelic therapy guide (James Badge Dale). As the guide’s motives come under suspicion, the past bleeds into the present and the session unravels into a psychedelic nightmare.”
“This psychedelic therapy thriller is designed to be a visceral inward journey, and I am thrilled to go on this journey with the incredibly talented James Badge Dale, Abigail Cowen and Edouard Philipponnat,” Inon Shampanier said in a statement to Deadline.
Stay tuned for more on The Guide as we learn it.
