“The colony was a big set that we extended with very little blue screen. We really worked closely with VFX and coming up with the concepts and then making sure that what we were offering on the day would transition nicely, individual effects. Fede really didn’t want a VFX movie. He wanted us all to come up with the best way to approach the problem, using practical, visual effects, and miniatures. All of that kind of stuff was kind of the directive at the beginning of the film. We never just leaned on the blue screen.”
“What I can tell you is that there’s a larger, bigger concept that’s buried beneath the whole story that no one has ever tapped in yet. Maybe this is something that we can talk about some years from now.”
“The idea of carrying on the legacy of H.R. Giger was a huge importance to Fede and I, just staying true to what he established.”
