According to the official Weibo post released by Hollywood News, there is an actor with a height of 2.31 meters in "Alien: Taken" who can be said to play the most frightening role in the whole film. The director explained his identity.
Robert Bobroczkyi, a 24-year-old basketball player from Romania, is 2.31 meters tall and is known as the "tallest basketball player in the world". His father is also a basketball player and is 2.17 meters tall. His mother plays volleyball and handball and is 1.86 meters tall. A few years ago, Bobroczkyi attracted the attention of the sports world as a tall teenager. In 2016, he went to the United States to attend high school and pursue a basketball career. Now there are NBA fans who miss him and describe him as a "skinny version of Wen Ban Yama". And now, he is also acting.
When Bobroczkyi's name began to appear on the imdb (Internet Movie Database) page of "Alien: Taken", the film had not yet been released, and fans naively thought that he might be the new actor to play the Alien. However... it was not wrong, but he played another "Alien" - the film was praised as "high-energy at the end" because at the end a "hybrid" creature "born" by humans and possessing human and alien DNA came out. Its appearance is very impactful, almost making people exclaim throughout the whole process: "What is this?" At this time, the audience will also react: what is the purpose of Bobroczkyi's tall and thin body.
This creature is called "the offspring". The film's director Fede Alvarez explained to Variety about its conception: it is similar to the alien race Engineers who created humans, continuing the exploration of the genetic composition of humans and aliens in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. "I hope the audience can get the point of the Engineers."
Alvarez mentioned that the black water from Prometheus also appeared at the end of Alien: Taken. "This is the origin of all life, and the aliens come from it, which means it's in their bodies, almost like the sperm of the aliens. So we thought: if it affects your DNA, and the Engineers obviously come from the same source of life, then it makes sense for me that (a 'offspring' of humans and aliens) would look like that."
He also admitted that the appearance of the "offspring" not only did not explain the many series-related plot lines in the film, but may have dug a bigger hole - raising more questions rather than answering more questions. "It may be a new species, because such a 'fusion' has never happened before."
Some fans thought of the plot of Alien 4, which echoed the plot: the cloned Ripley gave birth to a humanoid alien. Alvarez said that he didn't think of this when he was creating the film, until the premiere of Alien: Reaper, his son mentioned after watching the film that it was "just like Alien 4" - because his son recently watched the entire Alien series with his friends - and then he reacted: "I didn't think about it this way before, but it's true, a scary thing came out."
