Interview with Alec Gillis & Tom Woodruff

[Corporal Hicks]

Say hello to AvPGalaxy's first exclusive since it's return - soon to be followed by more 

AvPGalaxy - With each progressive alien film, you changed the alien design. I suppose to give it a fresh look. How hard is it coming up with new designs while remaining true to the franchise?

Alec Gillis - The challenge of these films is to remain true to the design laid down so brilliantly by H.R. Giger, yet update and refine. Some of the changes we’ve made are for movement and practicality, especially now that the films have become so stunt oriented. Other changes we make are requests from the new directors. We try to give the creatures more threat and elegance as well as upping the “fright factor”.

It's hard to be more frightening with the alien design. Just looking at a still is unsettling. The only thing that I can imagine they haven't thought of yet is the couple of phases between chest-burster stage one and chest-burster stage final. It would just be neat to see a vulnerable alien hiding out in a food locker or nibbling on a carcass and being scared away only to come back full grown and wreak holy hell.
