20 Things You Didn’t Know About Alien: Isolation

20. Amanda Is Modelled On Weaver's Mother, Who Was An Older Amanda In Aliens

Being Ellen's daughter, it only makes sense that the character model of Amanda would bear a resemblance to the actor who portrayed her mother for four films.

However, rather than basing the character model on Sigourney Weaver, the team at Creative Assembly based the character's appearance on Welsh actor Kezia Burrows - who provided the motion-capture for the character - alongside photographs of English actor Elizabeth Inglis - Sigourney's own mother - during her younger years.

Using Waver's mother instead of the Alien actor herself may seem like an odd choice, but this decision is closely connected to the film series.

In the director's cut of James Cameron's Aliens, Ellen is shown a photograph of her now-deceased 66-year-old daughter. And that picture is one of none other than Inglis.

It just goes to show just how much attention to detail went in to developing this game to make it as close to the series as possible.
