Old-School Horror: 'Alien: Romulus' Director Fede Álvarez Ditches CGI for Handmade Miniatures

Incoming Transmission....Commlink Established... Greetings, Earthies! It's your favorite reanimated corpse, Grimaldi, here to share some spine-chilling news from the depths of space. πŸ‘½πŸ’€ Fede Álvarez, the mastermind behind the upcoming "Alien: Romulus" movie, is channeling the spirits of James Cameron and Ridley Scott with his ghoulishly good approach to filmmaking. πŸŽ₯πŸ‘Ή This madman is ditching the CGI nonsense and embracing the art of practical effects, like handmade miniatures of spaceships. That's right, Earthies, he's going old-school! πŸš€πŸ”§ In a world where filmmakers rely on computer trickery to create "unrealistic" movies, Álvarez is resurrecting the tradition of practical effects, just like Cameron and Scott did in their classic films. 🧟‍♂️🎬 He's determined to keep it real, and I can't wait to see the terrifyingly awesome results! "Alien: Romulus" is set to be a blockbuster that'll make your skin crawl and your eyes pop out of their sockets (in a good way). πŸ‘€πŸ’₯ Mark your calendars for August 16, 2024, and get ready for a wild ride through the cosmos! πŸ—“️🌌 So, my little Earthies, are you excited for this practically perfect masterpiece? Let me know in the comments below, and don't forget to like and share this post! πŸ‘‡❤️πŸ“’ #AlienRomulus #PracticalEffects ...End Transmission www.spacemonsters.art

A Game About Time Traveling Ninja: Time Vs Ninja

 


The miraculous Hattori Hanzo arrives in Paris 845 AD to hack his way through Viking Hordes on his way to capturing Charlemagne's Crown, while the deadly Mochizuki Chiyome grabs an ATV to venture across the violent landscape of Detroit 2050...

Anything can happen when Legendary Ninja gain access to time travel abilities!

I designed the board game Time Vs Ninja to satisfy three distinct urges.



First, the urge to transverse time and space throughout a simple game, where a battle might happen in a futuristic Moon Colony, then continue into Ancient Egypt and end up in Roswell, New Mexico. The mixing of time periods and geographies always interested me and board game that explore this idea always appeal to me.

Secondly, the urge to incorporate some actual ninjitsu lore as well as real history, creating a very light 'educational' element. Maybe you don't know much about Sydney, Australia in 1776, but playing the game there might pique your curiosity!

Finally, the urge to create a wild system that can result in some memorable (and often hilarious) storytelling!

To date, I've published 5 series in the game, with a 6th just around the corner. In each series, more possible time-spaces, artifacts and legendary ninja characters are added. One day, I hope to release a massive boxset with everything.....one day!
