Alien is thus far the closest celluloid manifestation of HR Giger art to date. As well as Ridley Scott, I have been a huge fan of HR Giger for a long time, and I love how much freedom Ridley Scott gave HR in custom ad set design. If only we could see more from HR Giger-but after the whole “lack of recognition” controversy that followed the Aliens franchise, I doubt it would be something HR would entertain.
See (http://www.hrgiger.com/alien4b-dec11.htm) for more on the topic if desired.

I would love to see more movements where visual artists were given more freedom and provided opportunities to collaborate with like minded visionaries so we could have more films like the collaboration of Dave McKean and Neil Gaimen in MirrorMask. Just a thought. Nevertheless…thank you for Alien.
