Trapped in a Hole for Days and Covered in Blood and Lube, ‘Alien: Romulus’ Star Aileen Wu Breaks Down What It’s Like to Battle Facehuggers and Chestbursters
Star Aileen Wu discussed the intense process of acting with aliens and learning how to pilot a spacecraft.
Wu is a student of the craft, having attended both NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, but admits this experience had many large-scale, surreal moments. The chestburster was made by Alec Gillis and his team, and they worked on the original “Alien” movies, so that was fun to hang out with them on set and hear a bunch of stories about Sigourney Weaver. I had to really trust Fede and his vision because I can’t relate to the dying, but I try to channel being in really intense physical pain, imagining what it would be like if there was actually something inside of me moving that’s foreign, that just appeared out of nowhere right after I passed out.
