The Alien Legacy

00:00:19 Dan came to my door one day, was a fan of my cartoons, and wanted to meet me.

00:02:42 ...and it was weird cos on that day was born both Alien and Total Recall...

00:05:05 Then we resumed our relationship.

00:07:24 There were many rewrites, and people, you know...

00:10:04 So I did quite a big alien face hugger.

00:12:40 And after about three weeks after that...

00:15:31 ...and then, with a little piece of cardboard and an airbrush, he would sketch and draw...

00:17:57 I think she"s smoking a cigarette...

00:20:32 Again, I think Ridley came up with the idea of the Ancient Egyptian wings...

00:23:09 Fortunately they"re not seen much and we get away with what we can.

00:25:35 Looks like a mechanical armadillo or some sort of thing.

00:28:09 ...and, of course, it was a refinery with four towers.

00:30:50 ...like sort of the chairs in the command module...

00:33:53 But when you get that even spread - I didn"t want to get that even spread.

00:36:20 The attention to detail was pretty good.

00:39:10 Because he"s a sculptor, he likes to get his hands dirty...

00:42:13 Oh... Yeah.

00:45:01 Nature has got this amazing kind of ability to do things that are very difficult to copy.

00:48:16 We had all the shapes of the body with a T-shirt on...

00:50:36 We saw every shot again and again and again.

00:53:23 ...so they went over to him and said "D"you wanna be in the movies?"

00:55:56 You know? Jaws is great cos you hardly see it.

00:59:22 ...but the film is on such a roll...

01:02:28 And it"s also thrilling and fun, you know -
