H.R. Giger Returns To the Alien Franchise

An anonymous reader writes "Great news for Alien franchise purists, as conceptual artist H.R. Giger has been confirmed as a contributor to the prequel that Ridley Scott is set to begin shooting in February. The originator of the 'xenomorph' design, Giger was left out of James Cameron's Aliens (1986), since Cameron only needed a new 'Alien queen' design, and had come up with that himself. This article features the Swiss TV broadcast where Giger's wife broke the news, and a full gallery of Giger's conceptual work for Alien."

After reading the link I now see the direction this film might be taking, finally there will be some answers as to what this Alien race is, and possibly where it originated from what I understand. They mention something from the first Alien movie regarding the possible genetic manipulated alien sitting in the chair-like thing and envisioning this Alien race ... so there is no "knowing what will happen", we only know what happens in Alien..but HOW did that ship crash on that planet? Where did it come from? Who created those aliens?

I'm a bit surprised by your opinion. I've recently watched Alien again, and I really find that this movie has aged very well. It's still frightening - slow, deliberate, and with no shitty jump scare moments. The scene in the mechanic storage rooms with water falling down is excruciating. The aliens eggs are still gross and gory. Of course, the puppet alien running on the table after bursting from his host's chest looks cheap compared to today's standards. But it's about the only scene like this.
