A24 4,362 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wow, sorta comes as a surprise. Last week I read Scott considered him for Prometheus. The film Alien wouldn't have been the same without him. When i saw the film in 1979, I remember thinking that I never saw something like this before. shockwave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,041 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Rest in peace, Mr Giger. Hope you find relief of your visions in eternal sleep!Speaking his work, it would have been cool if they used his designs for Alien 3. Sounds interesting:http://youtu.be/iRbaQ6iu0bgKarol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,391 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 R.I.P. Mr Giger. Truly your creature designs were from the deepest, darkest nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 That sucks, the Alien creature is really an iconic work in cinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,239 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Oh no. Has there ever been a film that single handedly spawned so many imitations of a truly unique design? I mean, entire computer games were modelled after Giger's style in the 80s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 An awesome film and a creepy freaking thing ever to be made.Jennifer Keller (Stargate Atlantis): "One time in med school, I made the mistake of confiding to my partner in biology class that it had caused my all-time worst nightmares. He actually planted a live snake inside a cadaver I was working on." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 456 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 His designs were beautiful and scary. We shouldn't overlook his lesser, but still beautiful, work on Species as well as Alien.RIP HR Giger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
