J.W. Rinzler's The Making of Aliens

[j0nesy]

Ha. I'm still slowly working my way through. I can beast through the novels and comics quite easily, but these ones take me longer to digest.

i'm totally the same; i breeze through the books & comics but the making of alien was something i had to tackle bit by bit, there's just so much info to take in

You know, if the PREDATOR book only covered the first two Kevin Peter Hall films, I'd be interested.

If I had to guess, the first Predator gets over 50% of the book, and the sequels share the remainder.

Looking forward to The Fly book. About time. There's enough gruesome imagery in the film to make the book really special - nice 'n' juicy.

Can't agree enough!!

Thank bro.  Sounds interesting.

I noticed the the Alien Illustrated story original art edition is listed there as available?  I thought that was long out of print.

An excellent publication. I'm glad I have a copy. I have the standard Art Edition, without the Walter Simonson signature.

Very interesting Walter Simonson interview is included (talking about seeing an early assembly cut in late '78), along with unused sample ALIEN artwork.

Was visiting a second hand book store yesterday and saw Rinzler's Making of Star Wars for sale for $50. Was tempted but watching the bank balance right now.

Was it the expanded version with the storyboards at the end of the book?

TBH I don't know. I literally had a quick flick through before I had to leave for a client meeting.

Then again, we're assuming this Alien3 book would even get into the nitty-gritty of the infighting. If David Fincher himself wrote it, then all bets are off! 

Because that's been Rinzler's style. A very thorough look at them. It's why Alien was so impressive, and why Aliens has been so enjoyable so far.

Don't they look lovely together.

Indeed! 👍

Got my copy yesterday morning. Haven't opened it yet. Beautiful cover design. Love the purple.

They do look very nice together.

Wish the author would tackle some more classics: The Exorcist (1973) and The Shining (1980).
