It had a great soundtrack.

Did you contribute to its box office success in "Australia?"

[SM]

No.

Watched it on telly once I think.

Perhaps you should purchase a copy on Blu-ray to demonstrate your patriotism.

[Elmazalman]

Yeah, I remember him from 1988 - a big year for him. He tanked in 1990.

Anyhow, any info on the Bob Penn production stills book or is that dead? I'd like to get that too.

I think Charles Lippincott has a couple of things on the go at the moment.  Maybe it's part of that.

[Local Trouble]

I wonder if this book will mention Laddie.

[Corporal Hicks]

Some more high praise from CdL and Charles Lippincott.

Looking forward to seeing MEMORY. But for me, the big revelation in the Making of ALIEN this year is @jwrinzler's upcoming book. Most retrospectives tell their stories from a safe distance. Rinzler's reads like you're in the room, on the set, under the gun. It feels dangerous. https://t.co/6ZtxmC4wB7

Noice.

[Mr. Clemens]

Can't wait. I just recently finished his Making of RotJ, and by the end I felt like I worked on the film. 

[The Old One]

Can't wait.

Will there be an electronic version with bonus content like the Rinzler STAR WARS books?

[Nightmare Asylum]

Just got an email regarding my pre-order, this has been pushed back until July.

Bummer! I heard the book got pushed back until the end of April?

The original release was scheduled for the end of April (right around Alien Day), but as of today it is now slated July. There doesn't seem to be any word from Rinzler on Twitter as to why it was delayed.

Looks like the Alien Blueprints book, which was also to be released in April as well, was moved to September, too. Don't have that one on pre-order though, so I didn't get an email.

[Mr. Clemens]

Looks like Canadian Amazon agrees, though they apparently didn't have the heart to send me an email. Anybody in the publishing biz know if they'd be in the manufacturing stage right now? Or can we perhaps hope for a little more added content?
