Hans Ruedi Giger was a Swiss surrealist artist known for merging the organic with the mechanical in his art. In the late 1970s, screenwriter Dan O’Bannon met Giger during Alejandro Jodorowsky’s doomed Dune project and was absolutely thrilled by the artist’s disturbingly captivating “biomechanical” creations. I am pretty sure it must have been like a wave of emotions that Dan O’Bannon did not even know he could feel. When O’Bannon co-wrote Alien in 1979 with Ronald Shusett, he urged director Ridley Scott to bring Giger on board to design the film’s monster. Scott agreed immediately after seeing Giger’s artwork, convinced that Alien needed a creature unlike anything seen before, oh, and how true he was!
