So listening to Weaver on Marc Maron's WTF podcast from earlier this week.
She does Dan O' Bannon a bit dirty; she either isn't aware or intentionally states that Ridley "discovered" Giger, when it was O'Bannon that brought Giger's work to Scott. Then she also neglects to mention that the characters in O Bannon's/Schultz' script were written as being interchangable between male/female and says that the original script was 10 men until Giler/Hill "wrote the script".
Is this a case of nerds like me who know more than the lead actress or is it Weaver propping up "industry people"?
