Four decades after its release, Alien remains one of the most lauded and studies horror/sci-fi film ever made; it’s considered a must-watch for cinema fans of every disposition. While much has been revealed about director Ridley Scott and his contributions to the film’s success, a new documentary, Memory: The Origins of Alien looks more at screenwriter Dan O’Bannon and designer H.R. Giger (the founding pioneer of an artform dubbed bio-mechanical).
Memory: The Origins of Alien premiered at TIFF last September and, today, we’re getting our first look at the UK trailer for the film. Give it a spin embedded at the top of the article!
