• “What was amazing about the scene is that it’s somewhat visual effects, but it is mostly

special effects and camera work. Meaning we had a high-speed camera – a bunch of

cameras – that were on rigs that were circling with him. So most of that [scene] was shot in

camera. Yeah, because it was shot at super-high speeds. If you go on the Internet and search

super-high-speed photography, it’s all of those effects like where he touches the guy’s cheek

and it bends. It’s just because the camera has been so sped up. It’s not a visual effect. The

only visual effect in that movie is some of the stuff in the air. I mean, some of the stuff that’s

flying through the air isn’t real, because we couldn’t control rice particles. But some of the

things in the air ARE real. … _____ had a very clear focus on what he wanted in that

sequence. He had been showing us photography tricks online [for a while]. “

• In the modern series, X used to be a Captain serving with the 5th Northumberland

Fusiliers deployed to Afghanistan.

Fusiliers" in the year 1881 (no 5th left in title), which means the retention of the 5th

Northumberlands is a nod to its old heritage.

there.” says director Fede Alvarez about his movie X.

• During a recent Reddit AMA session, a fan asked Fede Alvarez about his decision to

include such a grotesque sequence in Y. The Redditor who posed the question specifically

voiced distaste for the twist, citing the fact that it felt more like an Eli Roth scene than a

Fede Alvarez scene. However, Alvarez stood by his decision, and admitted his own

personal love for it. He knew from the beginning that the sequence would turn off a large

segment of the audience, but in the end it would also win over others, and that's what he

wanted.
