``Prometheus'' Ridley Scott's reason for resurrecting the Alien world himself and his memories with Giger

Giger's design didn't arrive in time.

Humans on earth may be "created" by others. Ridley Scott's inspiration for this part was the Swiss science fiction writer Erich von Däniken.

“I still remember what I read about von Däniken in the 60s, because he was doing marijuana at the time (laughs). von Däniken's logic can be explained by considering the Nazca Lines, for example.In an era when there were no theodolites (angular measuring devices), there were many counterarguments. It would have been impossible for humans to create huge pictures that only the naked eye could make out, and not just for their own enjoyment. That idea was the inspiration for ``Prometheus.''

The Vatican has officially criticized ``Prometheus,'' which uses Christian motifs and also refers to the theories of a writer with a somewhat dubious reputation called von Däniken, which is based on the creation of humanity by extraterrestrial life forms... etc. There was also an uproar.

Speaking of Space Jockey, it is also the work of H.R. Giger, who also worked on many designs for `` Alien ''. Giger passed away in 2014, but was not deeply involved in "Prometheus." Giger himself said, ``I sent Ridley several designs for Prometheus, but I'm not sure how much of them were used.'' When asked about the process, Ridley explains:

"Production was already progressing so quickly that we didn't have time to wait for Giger's design. However, there are a number of areas where we incorporated his new designs, such as the ceiling where the Space Jockey lies. That said, it's based on Giger's design, so there aren't a lot of new designs."

Ridley Scott's collaboration with Giger on ``Alien'' was also connected to the failure of director Alejandro Jodorowsky's ``Dune'' film adaptation. Giger was in charge of the film's art, and Dan O'Bannon, who was in charge of the special effects, completed his own script for "Alien" after the production of "Dune" was canceled. Giger also ended up participating in ``Alien'' because of this connection. ``Dune'' was later made into a film by David Lynch as ` `Dune '' (1984), but Ridley Scott was originally scheduled to direct the film. There was also a complicated relationship between Ridley and the producer, who ended up leaving the project due to a breakdown.

Ridley spoke fondly of his encounter with Giger.

"Giger didn't like flying and didn't want to come to London, where I was waiting. So I had no choice but to travel to Switzerland, where he lives, and persuade him to join ' Alien.' After that, he finally came to London. During his one-year stay, he designed Alien, eggs, chestbursters, facehuggers, etc. At that time, we couldn't rely on digital technology, so we created everything in real form, figuring out the shape of each creature's jaw and how to manipulate its head. I still vividly remember how detailed and delicate the work was, such as how to make the shark move.Just like with the shark in Jaws , I was able to show how scary it is to not show it through a series of work with Giger. That's what I learned."

I feel like the future won't evolve that much.
