G4 Has The First Look At Outlander's Alien
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Tech Stuff, Movie Marketing
When you watch enough movies, sooner or later you get the feeling that you have seen it all before. Then, if you're lucky, one comes along with a premise quite unlike anything else -- a pleasant surprise sandwiched between the same old repetitive shlock. Now, you would think that would be a good thing, right? Normally yes -- but in the case of the Sci-fi Viking film Outlander; I'm not so sure.Martha reported on the movie back in August, but since then there hasn't been much press. Outlander stars Jim Caviezel as a mysterious man from space who crashes into earth during the time of Vikings, ultimately joining with them to fight an alien that has followed him there. (Wow, I felt stupid even typing that, imagine having to pay hard-earned money to watch it.) G4 recently spoke with designer Patrick Tatopoulos about his work on the film and have an exclusive look at this mysterious Viking-hating creature. Tatopoulous has worked on Independence Day, Silent Hill, and I, Robot, so he seems pretty comfortable with big rubber creatures and CGI equally. So far we only get a look at a model and -- what I can I say -- It looks like your run-of-the-mill monster. Therefore, I'm not even sure if top quality Special F/X can help a movie this goofy. If nothing else, pic will have the distinction of probably being the only Sci-fi Viking movie ever made ... and that's something, I guess.
