As a longtime fan of the Alien franchise, I have been looking forward to seeing director Fede Alvarez's latest instalment Alien: Romulus. The sound team was tasked with designing an audible world that fit in with the original 1979 film but still lives in today's definition of what blockbusters should sound like. Supervising Sound Editors, Will Files and Lee Gilmore, are joined by Dialog/ADR supervisor Polly McKinnon and Sound Designer Chris Terhune to talk about the sounds of the Xenomorphs, launch sequences and building the ambiences before the film was shot. Also in you live in London, England, mark your calendar for Sept 24th, 2024, for Motion Picture Sound Editors Presents: The Tonebenders Sound Design Meet Up. At The Queens Head pub in Soho at 7pm.
