Revision as of 13:13, 4 September 2015
The Book of Alien is a 1979 behind the scenes book covering the production of the film Alien, written by Paul Scanlon and Michael Gross and published by Heavy Metal Press. The book has been reissued several times since, including in 2004 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film. The most recent re-release was published by Titan Books in 2012.
The book contains behind-the-scenes information of the film's production, as well as interviews with the key people involved, including legendary artist/designer H. R. Giger and director Ridley Scott. Lavishly illustrated with scores of stunning design paintings, production art and film stills unpublished elsewhere, the book covers every creative stage, and graphically demonstrates just why the film won an Oscar for its visual effects.
