H.R Giger has been talking to Swiss newspapers about his work on Prometheus. The following quote is from Blick:
“Giger potters days and nights, especially in his studio in Zurich on his latest creatures. “It is huge. I can not tell what I’m doing exactly, is “strictly regulated by a contract, he gives few words. Transpired, however, is that “Prometheus” in the “Alien” will play universe. “
This would seem to go against a previous report that Giger is only working in an advisory capacity. Another report states that the Prometheus budget is 230 million. Thanks to Darkoo and Alien Prequel News.
Yeah I suppose, movie companies just have more money to throw around these days.
Alien got made on 11 million because the people knew how to spend the money wisely, not because it was a lot -- plenty of stuff had to be changed or dropped because they just couldn't afford it.
Or okay, maybe not at one million. Unless I moved to like, Thailand or somewhere.
LMAO it realy isn't!!!
3D/Imax is quite expensive to do properly. It might only be 50 mil spent on the production of the film. The rest could be split between. 3d/Imax/Cinema time and the rest being spent on a Massive worldwide marketing campeign
I'm confused.
IF it actually has jack to do with the Alien Proper at all.
so glad Giger is back doing the biomechanoid necromorph stuff
