ALIEN: The Weyland-Yutani Report (S.D. Perry, 160 pages)

Hopefully I'll get to start reading tonight - still got to pack everything away. And once I've read it and previewed it, should also be doing a podcast with Locusta towards the end of the month.

Nice, looking forward to all of that.

I know as much about the Blomkamp film as anyone else.

Good to hear that SM! Guess you can't talk much about it?

Good luck with the production!

Certainly some wonderful artistry on display.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the actual US release date for this was? It kinda slipped out without me noticing.

Wait... phrasing.

Serious question though.

[Corporal Hicks]

To see 120 hours of word reduced to 4 minutes is really fascinating. And to think that's per picture too.

It was sometime in June.

Thanks.

Still no word on a "regular" release, eh?

[Corporal Hicks]

Last I was told there wouldn't be one.

[Xenomorphine]

No regular now? Sad panda...

"Supplied by Gearbox" must mean it's precisely the same model used in the 'Colonial Marines' game (potential errors and all). Wonder how many other assets that extends to.

Must have been a tricky job because in the film the interior is actually much larger than the exterior. The full size vehicle was based on an old British Airways passenger plane towing tractor but the interior was a completely separate set.

[Corporal Hicks]

Indeed. I have to wonder what level of research goes into fixing issues like that. Obviously we saw no research taking place so in actuality it has to be more work than we see. I don't think John is on here - I'll see if I can get him across.

[USG Ishimura]

Lots of research. I won't say too much until John is on here - I've sent him an email - but I believe the Gearbox model was only used to spin around and choose the exterior view / perspective.

Would be great if you could, be nice to hear more from the guys behind this.

[Engineer]

Wow! That video made me dizzy! Great artwork though!

Are you shitting me?
