If there's one thing we can say with certainty about Alien, it's that it took the sci-fi optimism of its era and turned it into pure terror. Even after all these years, the Xenomorph still sends chills down spines as it stalks the corridors of the Nostromo, picking off each crew member in its path. But behind that fundamental horror lies a great team, with top-tier actors and a director who needs no introduction. Would you like to see the behind-the-scenes of Alien?
Master Giger making touches to his work, Ridley Scott searching for a new idea or a different angle, Bolaji Badejo waiting between scenes in his striking suit, and Sigourney Weaver filming in her underwear... because absolutely no one has forgotten that moment. Almost everything in Alien was provocative, shocking, and challenging. Yet, at the same time, it managed to introduce an unexpected dose of realism. The characters are not heroes or soldiers; they are workers carrying their load back to Earth. They are tired of the journey, of being together, and of themselves.
Today we'll share some images from Alien. Some belong to the behind-the-scenes, others to small extracts from the film, and finally promotional photos. Why now? The answer is simple: Alien recently turned 45 years old. The 4K editions have been available for a while, and if you're planning to watch it again, perhaps it's best to seek out that version...
