Unfortunately I must inform you all that screenwriter, Dan O’Bannon, the man behind the original draft of Alien has passed away at age 63. Harry from Aint It Cool News was the one to reveal the sad news.
“Well, David called to tell me Dan O’Bannon had just passed away. Dan had been in the hospital this past week fighting to hang on, but lost the battle not too long ago – and David wanted to alert the world of the passing of one of Geek’s great creators.”
On behalf of the staff and community of AvPGalaxy, we can only wish Dan O’Bannon’s friends and family the best of luck. I’d thank to thank Coming Soon, Chris Archer, Steve and the many others for taking the time to send us an email.
RIP Dan. You were a genuine trailblazer in sci fi
Also wierd that just last night I watched Alien for the first time in ages.
