Some nice production design, at least. That's all the good I can say.

Second Skin Studio applies monster makeup to actor Michael Smiley for Alien: Earth
The trans-humanist themes are great, the little eyeball is brilliant; but anything to do with the Alien is lacklustre, even bad, imo :(
Filming Kane's descent into the egg chamber, October 1978.
Ridley Scott's sons Luke and Jake in costume for ALIEN, portraying the crew trekking across the alien planet.

Giger's biomechanoid and Morrow's (Babou Ceesay) cyborg arm in Alien: Earth.
Giger should have an Alien Earth credit. Really disappointing
There are Weyland Yutani logos all over the new Predator teaser :D
There's no one more deserving. Well done, Raina. LoK fans all over are so happy for you. My wife let out a "yay!" when I told her. All the best for your future!
Aliens cameo in the Ecco the Dolphin comic, published in the early 90's by Fleetway in the UK.
A cheap way to get Ripley (the box office draw) back in the driving seat. Like the opening of a Friday the 13th movie. Undermined the third act sacrifice too, if you ask me. Would've been more resonant if Ripley turned down a reunion to save everyone.
Tom Skerritt and Sigourney Weaver taking a break during the filming of ALIEN at Shepperton Studios, UK, July 1978. #Alien

That's Glasgow alright! I like how they've selectively censored 'Sl*tty' throughout their menu
According to WGA West, ALIEN co-creator Ron Shusett passed away August 29th, 2024.
In addition to crafting ALIEN with Dan O'Bannon, Ron also laboured for over a decade to bring his passion project Total Recall to our screens.
Thank you, Ron. Godspeed.
This had a brilliant Mega City One. Very much like the comics.
For almost half a year I've been working on the design concept and book layout for the Evolved Edition of the ALIEN RPG. Super excited to finally show some spreads, as it's a design I'm very happy with. And not only am I doing layout work, but I've got some spot art in there as well.
More sketches of the Alien by Carlo Rambaldi.
You're right, Dan O'Bannon was working on DARK STAR when he had the thought: “It was like, while we were in the midst of doing Dark Star I had a secondary thought on it – same movie, but in a completely different light.” That became ALIEN.

ALIEN EARTH billboard spotted near Los Angeles!
Watching this with my wife, her first time through. Amos is her guy.
H.R. Giger's mutant Fifield sketch, and the deleted effect. Prometheus.
