There are two clips of this unused landscape shot in the 2003 three-hours documentary - along with the Ray Caple (matte painting and live-action shot) of the Derelict's three openings. This also unused shot would have illustrated the immense size of the Derelict in relation to the three astronauts - something the comic book adaptation did extremely well (the double-page spread).

No, this scene was filmed but later edited out.

One more of Roy Carple's matte paintings was used for a shot showing the three crew members walking on the planet's surface that was cut.  Apologies if this has been posted before.

Interesting... in the one I posted you can see the two orifices and floor are real while only the arm is painting. Note the four crew members. Obviously painted on glass with the film being projected through from behind.

The second one contains much more painting.

Quote from: SiL on Mar 15, 2024, 12:45:12 AMI wonder if it's fan made? The details aren't very accurate, especially around the legs.

That, or a concept marquette. It looks handmade, not something mass-produced.

At the time, the MPC Alien model kit was produced. It was smaller and less accurate than what Giger's holding.

Intriguing!

Perhaps a marquette made by Giger / the art department during production? If so, it's the first time I've ever seen it.
