• ** ALT3: ... that The Offspring in Alien: Romulus (2024) was played by a 2.31 m (7 ft 7 in) tall Romanian former basket player?Source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2024/08/17/alien-romulus-spoilers-ending-plot/74766600007/

• Review: Article is long enough, hook is interesting, but the source (BBC) does not say that the film "starred" Ian Holm, but rather used a CGI image of him (this is also written in the article). Can we tweak the hook to reflect what the source exactly says? Ippantekina (talk) 04:07, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

• • ALT4... Did you know that in Alien Romulus (2024) the actor Ian Holm (pictured), who died in 2020, was "resurrected" to appear in the film through a combination of animatronics, CGI and artificial intelligence? Lankyant (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
