Quote from: SiL on Sep 26, 2021, 01:19:44 AMThere was nothing to climb on. She's hanging from a hook.

Quote from: Elmazalman on Oct 23, 2021, 02:36:31 PMWas footage of the Alien, stuffing Lambert into the opening of an airshaft, really filmed?

Nothing springs to mind article or interview-wise about that besides what Dan O' Bannon said.
Quote from: Elmazalman on Oct 23, 2021, 03:15:54 PMThere is something that may tie in with part of the that passage from the #159 magazine article. A while back, I think you (or someone else) shared a portion of the liner notes from the ALIEN soundtrack album. The notes describe an earlier edit of the scenes with Parker & Lambert collecting the coolant bottles with Ripley searching for Jones on the bridge. Light strobing close-up shots of the Alien emerging from - or near to - the opening of an airshaft were originally intercut with the two sequences. The airshaft entrance could be the same one Dallas entered earlier and was covered by Parker & Lambert?
Quote from: xeno_alpha_07 on Oct 23, 2021, 03:31:50 PMAh yes, this:https://i.ibb.co/kmZhS54/Alien-Booklet-Inside-8.jpgI can't remember who it was who originally posted that. Also, the tracker was supposed to go off while Parker & Lambert were busy with both of them not noticing it. There is a slight shot of the camera panning to the tracker before cutting to Ripley in the film. I also had a quick look at Terry Rawlings's editing script to see if there were any notes regarding Lambert's fate. There isn't sadly and the script ends on Parker holding the flamethrower like a club as he enters the room. Scene 187 & 188 for the rest of the scene are missing. The motion tracker shot is noted in Terry's notes.

QuoteThe sequence was really cut back to the bare minimum. The unused insert tracker shots, I think, would've added to the tension even more.
