The 1979 flying puppies

The flying puppies from Prometheus technically called: [b]Topography “Pups”[/b], were conceived in 1979 by Ridley Scott in ALIEN. Apparently due the film technology of that time was not possible. For more information: [url=http://weyland-yutaniarchives.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/alien-unseen-part-one-ridleygrams.html]The Flying Mice:[/url] [i]Ridley Scott originally wanted to have small flying objects that would fly up and down corridors and fix any problems. These flying objects were to be called Mice.[/i] [i][/i] [i]I wanted to have small flying objects, like sensors, which flew up and down the corridors. They would find a problem, stop by a computer bank and fix it like little handymen. I wanted to call them Mice. At the beginning of the film they would be the only things that were alive on the ship. We d have shot a long empty corridor so you d hear them coming before you actually saw them. Then WHOOSH! It would pass by the camera, going through the corridor. I think FOX felt it was too much int he direction of SF, and we dropped it.[/i] [b]- Ridley Scott, Fantastic Films -- © 1979 James Delson[/b]
