'Alien: Romulus's biggest cameo is its greatest error

Summary

Nutrition label

62% Informative

The late Sir Ian Holm played the Nostromo 's synthetic science officer Ash in 1979 's Alien .

In Alien: Romulus, he "appears" as Rook , a Weyland -Yutani synthetic who is the same model as Ash , and who serves as the science officer for the Renaissance space station.

The result lives in the depths of the uncanny valley.

Twice the Andy is just one solution to the question of, "which synthetic should be onboard the Renaissance ?" There are countless others, including just making Rook an original synthetic and casting any other actor in the part.

If there is any trust there, that adds an extra layer of heartbreak to the moment when Andy switches over to being just another vessel for doing Weyland-Yutani's bidding.
