OMG "She lives to eat" The Alien in Alien was female and is not evil? GIGER'S ALIEN 1979 Foreword (excerpt) Timothy Leary Each cultural epoch in human history produces its unforgettable visionary artist a genius who is energized to voyage within; to trip through the galaxy of his own nervous system and return with vital information about the past and future of our evolution. Visionaries like Giger over stand too much. They over look. They over see. They over state. They over thrill. They physically frighten dutiful hive members who often become nauseous or screamingly panicked by this simple exposure to the tissue fact and cellular fabric of life. Artists like Giger are often censored, ignored, imprisoned, burned at the stake, kidnapped to Hollywood or, more often, carted off to asylums. Because they are the Aliens, the mutants. Higher intelligences, unidentified Flying Organism too different, too revealing to be tolerated. Giger's Alien, portrays the making of the monster film. It documents the shadowy birth of this mysterious squishy creature who has been terrorizing movie audiences all over the world. Giger's Alien is not an evil, scary creature. There is no evil in Giger. There is no evil in the poopy magnified cell growths within our bodies. The worst thing you can say about Giger's Alien is this: She eats to live. Is She ugly? No more ugly than we would look to any member of the food chain that we regularly and thoughtlessly pop in our red, gulping, adenoidal mouths three times a day. Giger's art has consistently wrestled with the paradox of The Beauty and the Beast. Thus he adds another chapter to the wondrous encyclopedia of mutants who represent those aspects of ourselves that we are not ready to wine and dine with. Retrieved from: www.hrgiger.com on 10/14/11

Well is a bit of everything we saw in the comic con fotage and based on the first"leaked-fake" script ... there is really of nothing really nowe here , not a part for which i could say " oh thats very immaginative , can be the real script " ...i mean even a 14th years old can write a script like that . + if the space jocket got open and a human get out i will leave the theatre immediately + im sure Scott will avoid another " cat and mouse" final act + It miss any reference with the characters ...

I'm with you on the Jockey, but it says [u]humanoid[/u] not [u]human[/u].You could say the Xeno from Alien was humanoid as it had two arms and legs.I am expecting the Jockey to have a humanoid look, especially if the storyline is they are the creators of life on earth.

i went to the premiere on wednesday in Montreal It sucked Hard and I do mean It Sucked big time! sorry! no news on the trailer, I missed it if it was even shown here.

Well, I am not sure to be happy or sad about that Sparta as the original is probably in my top three movies ever.Other sites are reporting the same, not a patch on the original.And I guess the trailer must be coiming out with "In Time" after all then, damn.

There was no imagination or creative story telling present. All they did was watch the original and ripped off Carpenter's name and place theirs...pretty lame!

Hey Guys, No Prometheus Trailer although Fox did Trailer "In Time" on The thing. All I saw for trailers was In Time, Immortals and Contraband that's it. The 4:40 show had about 10 people in it max. The prequel explained a little bit more about the movie regarding the Norwegians and why the guy was shooting at the dog in the beginning of the original. I saw what looked similar to Replicator computer technology that you would see in Stargate: Atlantis and the old Stargate, series towards the end. It also seemed to steal a little bit from Alien. The Norwegians were tracking a signal in the ice. Much like the Nostromo waking the crew and diverting to the "signal". Regards, Rick

the ship was self destructing, hence the flames. Ripley had started the scuttle procedure it is written on the panel when she initiated self destruct. As an effect it looks like they were using the flamethrowers to simulate the slow destruction of the ship. as for people thinking it looks lame, hey! it was 1977 man!

If a Trailer is coming out this month The Movie "In Time" is a 20th century Fox film. Would make sense for it to be with the same release company.

Fox please give us a trailer - throw us a bone!

I just got tickets for The Thing tomorrow. Maybe I'll catch a trailer there. But I doubt it. Universal is releasing it and not Fox.

Must be hard to stand 2 hours of that atrocious remake to hope to see a prometheus trailer ...you deserve a Silver Alien Medal for extreme courage under shitty movies .

Perhaps it will air before the Puss in Boots movie. lol

@ Hudson 25. By your leave, what was the best movie you´ve seen, say, for the last years? I personally liked Polanskis `The Ghost Wrtiter´ very much.

I hope its with either Immortals or In Time. Who knows it might even be during the super bowl at this point.

I saw in another thread, that someone suggested that the goo in the urns may turn David into a human, hence the pic we saw of him teary eyed. That would definitely be different. I agree with most of your ideas Mentos. The only thing I can't figure out yet, is how they are going to leave it open for a sequel like Ridley and company have been rumored at getting to. Seems like more than one person will need to survive if that's to happen.

Spartacus, Remember we're trying to stay away from Alien 3. There is a possibility thats right up your alley, nothing has ever been mentioned about this prior to now. If it is standard practice to have a "Bishop" on a ship. Why wouldn't it be standard practice to have a "Bishop" in the Colony to oversee the companies assets covertly? ie both the Atmosphere Processor and the Alien clutch? This would make a whole lot of sense, to me, anyways. I could see.. them, through the android watch the colony dwindle and then see how the Aliens would act in a combat situation by sending in the marines. Why else put Gorman in there who is absolutely clueless in combat situations. Someone was pulling string in the military, since Gorman was the new Leui for the 2 squads. (That still doesn't make sense to me a platoon is 4 squads) Anyways what do you think? Rick

Brilliant Rick, absolutely love your slant there, makes sense to me. My Bad on the Alien 3 references but they are in fact part of this, and I could not resist.

Spartacus, I don't mind Alien 3. I would have done it alot different though. Its alright as a stand alone but a sequel to Aliens not a chance. Sides the Ridley/Cameron Only natives might start hunting for us. LOL Rick

I've seen this article, but at the same time FOX's "official" promoted facebook page for Prometheus still lists Ben Foster as one of the cast. [url=http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#!/Prometheus?sk=info]Fox's Prometheus' page info[/url] have this stated under their "Starring" tab: Starring: [i]Michael Fassbender; Noomi Rapace; Charlize Theron; Idris Elba; Guy Pearce; [b]Ben Foster[/b]; and Logan Marshall-Green[/i] I'm waiting to hear back on clarification with this before I make any mention of it. But thanks for posting it [b]Frantz[/b]!

omg! I have finally arrived...here in Heaven. YES!

Spartacus, LOL well anything Giger Related make sure you post it up the more people we get beating the drums for Giger the quicker Ghost will throw us up a Giger Only Discussion Thread so we can talk about Giger stuff. Rick

Thanks Rick for the baphomet article. I have always been faSINated with Giger. There is a heaven and hell, somewhere out there and a little bit of Giger among us too. I've seen this Bophomet creature a few times in my life. Every time, I come to the street where I first saw it, The lights change for the crosswalk. So I have to stop and there's nobody there but you got to press the button to make the light work. :| East African Sufis call it a Millihoyie. I don't think they believe it is the devil but one of the most dangerous inter dimensional beings call Jinn. The devil who was the first Jinn and not an Angel that fell from grace: Was know as the "Father of Prostration". Well at least until Adam was created from muck of all colors of the rainbow. The devil gave birth to the Jinns by having sex with his butt and his tail. Then he laid them as eggs. At some point they had the ability to fly through the heavens to steal knowledge of the future and are chased down to the earthly spheres by a shooting star. Usually, I wish upon a shooting stars but if that is true then if you see a shooting star it means that those things are coming down. Alien Invasion style. Once on the earth they transform into Goat people. That might also be because some goat farmers got a little too excited. Yes Neurion electric sheep dream of farmers...Just as Underwear bombers dream of BangCock in prison.

Thanks Rick for that article on Baphomet, I have always been faSINated by Giger. Now, I know why electric sheep dream of shepherds and why the big bad wolf likes wearing women's clothing.

Awesome GhostFace ^^ im dying 2 see this movie

2nd that! Unbelievable work by all these people.

Fierce pic, bio! I wanna do one too and upload it tonight, even though its past deadline...

Don't worry about the deadline, we want to see your Prometheus artwork!

this contest to me is so overwhelmingly creatively stimulating that I cannot settle or be happy with any of my work. but I'm getting closer.

Here are the ones I like the least still working on tons more. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/PROMETH.gif[/img]

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/PROMETH2.gif[/img] this one...I Like! I can edit it however need be.

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/APROMETH5.gif[/img] looking forward to seeing some of the other stuff from all ya'll.

Spartacus, There is a problem with that Bishop, came with the Marines. I don't think these outright chose a specific human I think they had become numbered enough to require a queen to speed along the hive growth so they grabbed the first available one and used them. Still just a theory. I would love to see a sequel to Hadley's Hope that included some story line from the actual colony situation with the aliens. Regards, Rick

I love your theory. However, Something about that whole scene at the end of Alien 3 with Bishop trying to re-assure Ripley that Wayland-Yutani has no designs on any new BIOMECHANICAL WEAPON and does not want anything other than her "well being" and to "take it out you", the whole thing still smells to me of his potential massive COVER-UP & LIE he spat to her face, and what I remember most, is that SCREAM he pronounced, that deliberate and somehow so wrong sounding SCREAM to the entire science fiction community as he/we all watched her kill their Pet project and herself in one fell swoop!!! As for "The Bishop Problem"; their is a lot to say for the fact that he was/may not have been a real human being {making that 3 total Bishops all told as of that moment} and may not have even been the "Real Bishop" altogether as he claimed, but rather a product of advanced Robotics himself, with some very Greedy/Evil designs acting as the front man for "WT" !!! But that also infers that someone, perhaps the true "Bishop" was pulling his android strings from the start!!!

Oh yes, hopefully, at long last, there may be a second film that depicts the world of Giger's 'Necronomicon' so unabashedly and without restraint. The first simply being 'Alien'. Why has this man been so criminally overlooked , mis-represented and generally let down by the film-making community since Alien? In a perverse and contradictory way, I'm glad this is the case, because it only serves to accentuate further the strange peripheral world he creates and the 'exclusivity' of his legions of adoring fans. Vive le roi - H.R.Giger.....

& THE FILM "DUNE" ! Most of the great images in that film... were all GIGER as well.

Thanks for your comments everyone! Biomechanic - I used Illustrator and Photoshop so a combination of vector and raster. Spartacus - You'll have to wait for my Prometheus version, it may look completely different. Frantz - I am follwing a trend of reinterpreting classic movie posters, they are not really intended to replace the originals, just give a different take on them, have a look at what else is out there: [url=http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/05/50-minimalist-movie-posters/]Here![/url]
