Giger to direct 'Alien' remake?

[Shadow Hunter]

No! Its a classic for a reason.

Giger should direct and the whole movie should be made in Switzerland too, with a Swiss cast and crew.  He should be given a budget of 150 mil and at least 2 years to make it, with complete creative control.

[shakermakerman]

Lets start of by saying; it'll never happen. But seeing as what a horrific, unique world Giger created for his monster and the many concepts he done, would you like to see him design/and or direct an Alien remake?

Imagine a whole new series created by Giger...

It would probably be a porno .

well, I'd like to imagine what sort of movie he would create. He has sometimes talked about the movies that he likes and I wonder if that would reflect the sort of thing he might come out with as a movie. He also did have a sensible idea about how they should have ended Species, and I liked his biomechanoid train dream sequence plan

A Giger movie would be hella awesome. It's freaky, just thinking about what it'd be like. I mean, if a Giger picture (which would essentially just be a screenshot) is cool enough as it is, imagine how awesome a Giger movie would be.

[Kimo]

Giger's Alien movie would be very interesting to watch, but i think it would probably be way to bizarre and unusual for the average joe's liking. It would probably be so f**ked up, like some 90min+ Apex Twin style of video with aliens.

[DoomRulz]

I think the imagery and props he would use for the film would f**k with my head too much Not sure I'd be the same person after seeing his creations come to life.

[Burn the Floor]

I agree that Giger is a great concept man who could definitely come up with some really cool ideas, but like Kimo said, how can you expect him to direct a movie that anyone can understand? He could probably be a script consultant, but as far as the director, get someone visionary but intelligible.

Concept designer, set designer, creature design, ANY design.

But script consultant?  Nyet.

[wmmvrrvrrmm]

Giger's Mystery of San Gottardo book seemed quite coherent. I don't think he's as way out as his paintings.

[SM]

If he was writing his own original story - no problem.

If he was writing his own original story - no problem.

I'd love to see him make something about his own dreams and nightmares.  Besides his paintings based on his dreams etc id like to see him design and make a film on them.

[AvPvTerminator]

I can't see this film being anything other than animated.

[Burn the Floor]

Or full-on CGI.

[xeno_alpha_07]

Or full-on CGI.

A Giger film which is full on CGI would be terrible.  I hope that never happens.
