And it’s still unnerving.
This article containsAlien: Romulus and The Flash spoilers.
It feels like a new era of the Alienverse is ready to burst forward from Hollywoods chest.
FromStar WarstoGhostbusters, what is the deal with these major franchises bringing dearly departed actors back from the dead?
They were also intended to be almost throwaway easter eggs.
Star Wars is arguably the worst offender in this phenomenon.
The films villain even smirks hes dead when looking at Brandos image.
More recently,The Flashwas rightly lambasted for bringingChristopher Reeve back from the dead.
And it was frankly disquieting to hear Reeves own children tellVarietythey hadnt watched it and had no involvement.
But then, that aforementioned de-aging has also become a popular trend with its fair share of problems.
It would have denied us one of the sagas greatest performances.
Still, unlike Reeve inThe Flash, at least Holms widow was consulted onRomulus.
Unfortunately, we cant ask the man himself what he thinks ofRomulus.
It feels like were on the cusp of seeing these kind of unsettling visual effects a lot more.
Meanwhile Susan Sarandon toldThe Hollywood Reporterits a now or never situation in terms of AI taking over.
Going in this direction, I dont know if we should copyright our voices or ourselves.
Perhaps the only thing stopping thisBlade Runner-inspired AI takeover is the expense.
