What a pleasure to see Alien over and over again. Of the 3 best Sci-Fi and horror movies in history for sure. That's true. And Ridley Scott... Well, there you have his movies. I don't discover anything new 🙏🏻

Have not seen this test. Good to see it after all these years. The movie was so different from Star Wars with grit, atmosphere and texture. The movie caused such a buzz back then in 1979.

Sigourney Weaver so young. In her 20s. Now she’s in her 70s (and still counting).

In Alien (1979), Ellen Ripley was originally written as a man, but writer Dan O'Bannon designed every character to be played by either gender. Because the script wasn't rewritten around traditional female stereotypes, Weaver's Ripley remained tough, blunt, and highly competent.

ALIEN was released 47 years ago today. Ripley was originally written as a man. Ridley Scott and Fox decided late in pre-production to cast a woman instead, and Sigourney Weaver became one of the final major actors hired before filming began.
