‘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?
Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest) is getting back to his roots with A24‘s Onslaught, and many fans have been wondering if the events of the upcoming film connect in any way to one of Wingard’s previous movies, The Guest. After all, they do seem to be cut from a similar cloth, with some speculating that they might take place in the same universe.
But is there any truth to that speculation? In a new interview out of San Diego Comic-Con this week, Adam Wingard has revealed that the fans are definitely onto something!
Wingard explains, “I look at this as a cap in the trilogy between The Guest and You’re Next. It’s not like a direct sequel, in the sense that it’s a continuation of those characters, but it takes place in the same town as The Guest. The idea is that the secret programs we’re seeing going on here are other little aspects of the same thing David’s character came from in The Guest.”
“So you could actually technically call this a sequel,” Wingard admits. “It’s in the same universe.”

Releasing in theaters on September 4, Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is Rated ‘R’ for “Strong bloody violence, some gore, sexual material/nudity, and language.”
Watch the previously released Onslaught trailer below.
The duo behind The Guest, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, are re-teaming for the upcoming Onslaught, which stars Adria Arjona in the leading role.
Here’s the synopsis: “When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.”
Rebecca Hall (The Night House, Godzilla x Kong) and Dan Stevens (The Guest) also star in Adam Wingard’s upcoming new movie Onslaught alongside Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and Alex “Poatan” Pereira.
Dan Stevens starred alongside Maika Monroe in 2014 action-thriller The Guest. He played a mysterious ex-soldier with a secret agenda who wreaks havoc on a small town.
