I can only imagine his interpretation of the Sandworms, Bene Gisseret, and The Harkonnen with Giger on board.
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 24, 2024, 06:36:50 PMI still maintain, I don't think Giger's sandworm design is quite right for Dune, but I do think it'd be perfect as something that David cooked up...
Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Mar 24, 2024, 08:22:14 PMIsn't LV426 was initially thought to be the Harkonnen homeworld before Jodorowsky's Dune was dropped ?

Are you thinking of Dan O'Bannon's comment about hypothetically seeing LV-426 as a piece of the "Old Ones' homeworld" (as in, the entities from H.P. Lovecraft's works)?

I can only imagine his interpretation of the Sandworms, Bene Gisseret, and The Harkonnen with Giger on board. Giger also reached out to Lynch to try to get on that version of Dune after both Jodorowsky and Scott's versions fell through, but Lynch never returned his calls. If legend is to be believed (I'm not sure the original source on this), apparently it's because of a perceived slight where Lynch felt that Giger had been complicit in ripping off the Eraserhead baby for Alien's chestburster.EDIT: A link to the article from wmmvrrvrrmm's blog, which goes over some of those details: https://alienexplorations.blogspot.com/2014/05/alien-vs-eraserhead.html

Quote from: Slutty Badger on Apr 05, 2024, 09:22:56 AMI'm personally thrilled that the pathogen is gonna feature in Romulus. It shows that this film respects the overarching setting and continuity.Plus, "Prometheus strain"? That's gotta be a David connection.
Quote from: aliens13 on Feb 14, 2024, 12:32:21 AMWould you like to see the Engineers or the Black Goo playing a role on the new Alien Romulus film? in some kind of cameo, small roll or big roll in the story? Personally I prefer nothing about that or anything that comes to the prequel films. I prefer that just play safe with the horror of the Xenomorph just like it was in the pre-Prometheus era
