Sir Ridley Scott has been talking up his Alien prequel, promising a "really nasty" 3D treat which he described as "the dark side of the moon".The movie will be set in 2085, five years before the original, and will see the protagonists "first come across this thing on a planet called Zeta Reticuli". Scott teased to Screen International: "Were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would actually go in and clean up a planet?"
Great news for Alien franchise purists, as Alien conceptual artist H.R. Giger has been confirmed as a contributor to the prequel that Ridley Scott is set to begin shooting in February. The originator of the 'xenomorph' design, Giger was left out of James Cameron's Aliens (1986), since Cameron only needed a new 'Alien queen' design, and had come up with that himself. The eccentric Swiss artist participated as a conceptual designer for David Fincher's Alien 3 (1992) - though by this time he had long-abandoned the elaborate airbrush techniques that made him famous via the coffee-table book Necronomicon, which inspired ex-Dune (the abandoned 1977 Jodorowsky version) collaborator and Alien screenwriter Dan O'Bannon to suggest his work to Ridley Scott for Alien (1979). Instead Giger faxed pastel and chalk sketches to the Alien 3 production office, unwilling to once again face his fear of travel (and especially air-travel) as he had done to move to England as a resident designer for Alien throughout that film's production in 1978-79.
