QuoteSwiss newspaper Blick had a chance to talk to Alien designer HR Giger about his involvement in Prometheus.

    "Ridley Scott and I met in London to discuss the details of the project" confirms Giger. "It was a warm reunion after such a long time."

According to the newspaper, Giger has been busy working in his studio in Zurich on the latest creatures for Prometheus. Unfortunately he's bound by contract to not give away any details.

     "It's going to be huge. I can not tell what I'm doing exactly"

He does however confirm that Prometheus will take part in the same universe as the Alien series.

Giger won an Oscar in 1980 for his work on Alien, and the Swiss newspaper asks him if he's hoping for his second Oscar this time.

    "We'll see what the future brings. I did my work but never in terms of awards, otherwise I would have had to adjust."

No f**king way.
...and so goes the old tradition of disregarding every modern film.  Who knows how good this film can be now that pretty much most of the old crew is back on board for this movie.
