At least we would presumably get a modern take on the original Giger design in all its biomechanical glory. I'm always game for a new Alien film that will at least be entertaining.
People clamor for him and want more Giger. The guy is dead. I liked him in Alien, the work he did, but I also like Mobius, Scott, Cobb, O'Bannon and everyone else who worked on that movie. It's not just Giger. His design for the alien was great, but it was made in stages, and didn't Shusset come up with the look for the facehugger? Yeah, it's a pretty suit, and the Jockey was based off a painting of Giger's, and the ship was something Scott and Giger worked on, together.
It'd be nice if he had more opportunities before he passed to work more in film, but the fact of the matter is is he was a private European artist who had a chance to work on a handful of films, but mainly didn't work in film. He was an artist before he was a filmmaker. The fact that he got chosen to work on Alien at all was a miracle (you can thank Scott for that one). I'll take what I get from Scott and company at this stage because frankly that's what we're going to get.
The guy's dead. I don't want more of him, because, well, again, dead as a door nail.
