Comments: Alien Resurrection is a travesty to not only your work, but the original Alien movie which was virtually spawned from your mind and hands. Your bio mechanical art boldly changed the way we saw our innerpost fears, but that of the unknown universe around us...giving a supreme feeling of dissonance in a harsh and alien environment. Your art has not only stimulaed my most incredible dreams, but also haunted and tortured me in my worst nightmares. Continue the excellent work. !Viva la insurreccion!

Comments: I just browsed through n^2 Giger galleries and all I can say is : Good work! Those images, sculptures etc. are excellent. Especially i loved the alien creatures in Alien 1/2/3/4. I agree with you in that the credits of alien design belong to you. Personally i think you were ripped off already in Alien 3, because i can't see very much difference between the alien in Alien 1 and the one in Alien 3. I don't think you are going to get any money from 20th C.F. but I think you just might have the chance to make them admit that you are the original designer of those creatures. Anyway I would like to see your new ideas in Alien 5, if that will be made some day. Keep up the good work! - Mikko ps. The alien mutation in Alien 4 was HIDEOUS...yuch...and when they were making it, they made the 1. mistake in monster generation: never make it look sad...it kinda flattened the film...imho

Comments: Mr. Giger, As a long-time fan of your work, I am outraged by the injustice that FOX has imposed on you. If there is one thing an artist has a right to retain, it is his creative efforts. There is no statute of limitations on your work, as it seems FOX is assuming. As time and the number of Alien sequels grows, your credit decreases, as if your level of influence has diminished. This is insane. As an aspiring artist myself, I can only sympathize with your plight, and hope that justice will be served on your behalf. Most Sincerely, Dale McMullin

I mean I LOVE all the films in the Alien quartet but, NO GIGER NO ALIENS. Giger is the living breath of the saga. He is the inspiration and the father. Face it FOX you probably lost your best sequal chance to Alien Resurection yet. YOU FUCKED UP FOX!!!

Comments: Mr. Giger, at al; I'm glad to see there's a site on the net where one can get the 'real dope' on your current works and future plans. I don't pretend to be your most ardent fan with respect to the movies etc., but I happen to be extremely interested in 'biomechanics,' nanotech, and cybernetics. Cyborg technology fascinates me and certain areas of your work are parallel to my interests in posthuman development. In my opinion, with regard to my own interests in bio- and nanotech and otherwise, your Biomechanical style is your strongest suit. I'm hoping you'll continue your work in this genre, much to the delight of myself and so many others. The world remains a place where an occasional dark image is a good thing. You know this better than I, so I look forward to future works from the mind of Giger.

Comments: Ive been fortunate to first view your work in a publication called HeavyMetal magazine.From that source I was fully aware of your input to the Alien Movie.I believe that an artist should be given all due credit when concepts and ideas spring forth from such an individual. The maccabre of your works are truths, the dark beauty hidden and revealed as humankind and machine are entwined. I find the choice of colors used for various bio tech land scapes to be of exquisit taste, setting mood, and dream-like depth.I too have found versatility in the use of the air brush as a fine arts tool.As an artist, I too am much aware of the opposition to the artist's limits...as if to slander or even discredit a communicator is mere hypocrisy and denial in the making. They of whom to be so selfrighteouse as to impose sanctions as if to censor are merely in fear of the reflections of them selves.so perhaps when people start to really learn how to see,then their duldrumm and automatism will end...keep the faith, show us more!!!!! peace to the creator of biotech and the alien insurrection...

Comments: I am a huge fan of the Alien Saga. The first was a great scare-ya-to-death film, the second, I thought wasn't scary but a very excellent and a very kick-ass film by James Cameron, third was good, although it was bleak and quite sad, and the fouth,(was pretty good, but too short) really didn't turn out the way I expected. What I mean is that I bought the original script and it was great. When I saw the first preview I thought it was going to be a hell lot better than the second. I was hoping James Cameron or Ridley Scott will direct it, James Horner will do the music, Ving Rhames to play the charater of Christie, and mostly I was hoping H.R. Giger would make a big return and make duplicate copies of costumes and special effects of the original alien design and to design The Newborn. But it just didn't turn out the way I expected it to be. There were two characers removed an over 10 scenes changed an/or removed. If Ridley Scott or James Cameron directed it, there wouldn't have been big changes. David Fincher, however makes good movies, but he makes the endings like good guy wins, but dies(ALIEN 3) or loses(SEVEN). But he is alright. The creatures in the second had to been the original creature design without the smooth shell on the head, because if you noticed in the first after it killed Parker and now it heading for Lambert, you can see the holes along the side of its head. I don't known why Stan Winston removed it. In the third, I bet you had to been proud that you've been asked to come back and work. Even though you did a little they should have given you the recognition of redesigning of the original creature. And for the fourth, they looked more like your original creature, but they were more tall and scrawny lookin' plus the legs had another joint and had "Gremlins'" feet. I heard the reason why they looked different is because of the genes in the clone cells. If the alien warriors were different, howcome the Queen looked the same? They should of gotten your permission to make the changes of the original creature, because it is yours. Plus nobody else can design any other Alien better than you can.

Comments: I've been a huge fan since I was a kid and saw "Alien" for the 1st time... It's consistently been one of my all-time fave movies (the entire Alien trilogy, Species, Species II, and Poltergeist II also rank), and to see Giger get the raw end of a deal that, without his brilliance, would never have gotten where they are today... They would never have gotten the raves they have regarding the movie... To treat the legendary artist the way they are (they being 20th Century Fox) is not only rude, it's apalling as well as degrading... It only serves to show the Hollywood big wigs as they truly are: Money-hungry wolves, out for themselves, not caring who they trample in their quest for power...

Comments: I have been an HR GIGER fan ever since I saw an airbrushe plate he did for a story in OMNI magazine...it had to be very early 80's or late 70's. Anyway, my childhood fascination with this artist has grown as well as my appreciation of his work. I have purchased a book and several poster books of his work: I wish to support this artist with my money- I believe strongly that what he puts on the canvas cannot be described, only imitated (and poorly at that). I am also a fan of Ridley Scott's Alien, and subsequent Alien movies. I cannot imagine any Alien whose likeness is from Giger's work NOT being Giger's property, both conceptual and tangible. Therefor, the omission of GIGER's name, and I assume further remuniration for ALIEN RESURRECTION is theft in its simplest form. I would urge you to pursue legal avenues to right this terrible wrong...I cannot imagine how any US court, even one in Alabama, could find that GIGER's work was NOT stolen, and that he isn't due (along with other things)at least his name in the credits, as creator of the creature. I remain, as always, a GIGER fan. I'm not so sure how much a fan I am of the Alien movies, or whether I will choose to patronize the next installment, should it come out, because of this heinous situation. H.R., if this letter gets to you in any form, let it encourage you to proceed in the creation of more of the fantastic dream-like images that have kept myself, and so many of my acquaintances enthralled. Sincerely, -Christian Smith

Comments: Frankly i am appalled by the lack of H.R.Giger's name in the credits. The whole image and nature of the alien regardless of however many icarnations it goes through will still hold the influence and atmosphere of Giger's work he is the only artist who has such a dark unique style. Without Giger's original alien the following offerings would be nothing. I had not heard of Giger before Alien, but since viewing such a masterpiece I was awestruck and through that I found other piece's of Giger's work which is both dark and yet incredibly erotic. A true artist of the late 20th Century.

Comments: I was watching a making of special (not a common activity) of Alien 4, and was enjoying the interviews until the special effects crew were chatting away and I was amazed at their absolute lack of scruples while discussing the design of the creature. By the end of the show (after having ranted and raved about it for the duration) I was outraged that there was no mention at all of HRG. Artists and designers get ripped off constantly (I speak from experience here, as well) but I find it incredible that HRG who is so obviously the creator and designer has been cheated so blatantly. I hope he rakes them over for this one. You still got that creepy little dark demon head? Send it to them.

Comments: Hi H.R. and company, In 1983 I left Bath Academy of Art in the UK to follow a career in music which currently finds me running a Digital Audio Work Station company in Ventura CA.We run into many similar issues in the music and audio business but few injustices can match the tragic and blatant disregard shown to your work by 20th C Fox. It is SO personal a statement and I can't think of any other situation where the work of an artist or designer has come so close to overshadowing the context in which it was presented, in this case the film Alien. Ridley Scott is clearly concious of this. I wish you all the very best in undoing this wrong and I have no doubt that the outstanding quality of your work will continue to prevail long after this debate has ceased to be of significance. Kind regards Ken Dewar

An artists creations are theirs to keep and to receive the benifits for...they are the results of their own hard work and imagination. If Giger gets no credit for the design of the aliens in ressuection, then which rip off artist does? Giger is a true original in his styles and creations, and he deserves the credit for it.

The Alien Resurrection movie has somewhat dropped a few places on my list of favorites, not because it was a bad film, it is one of the best one's I've seen in a long while, but because a 'crime' such as this was committed by Fox.

Comments: Since i heard about this CRIME, i do not consider alien4 as "real" alien movie. the first movie was something outta this world, giving us the very original space monster, without actual intelligence, more like insect behavior. I think this is very selfish, greedy, low, and outrageous way to tyrannize artist and i cant understand why anyone could tolerate this kind of crap. after all, it seems like the "burkes" around the fox have tyrannized the director's rights as well, if you look his previous films like delicatessen or city of lost children and compare them to this hollywood piece of junk. I can find many gag jokes and cliches like that scene where they're shooting aliens from the ladders and then this guy shoots the spider, to mention one... anyway I know who's side I am.

What could be done if H.R Giger would get chance to operate with new technology.. maybe something totally new would appear in screen.. not that same recycling hollywood is now doing. I havent seen Alien4.. but when i heard the ideas of cloning the main character, i was not too keen to see it anyways, Only reason to see it by then was 'alien' The work from Giger.. well i didnt go and watch it anyway. maybe i look alien4 if it comes out from tv. But Giger should have been credited and much more, begged for do the alien 4 designs. Ideas. Hopefully some European based movie company start co-operate with Giger and does something totally amazing.

I now find myself discouraged from ever publisizing my work for fear that this will become a new trend in over-running the rights of origonal artists. To deny the sole creator of the creatures that made these movies so spectacular his rightful, yet small place in a long list of credits is abhorent ! What would it have hurt to add his name? NOTHING. This is just a way for the company to flex its multi-million dollar muscles while trampleing the little guy who fathered the whole thing. Pox blister their yellow spines !!! I myself believe that now not even a lawsuit could repair the damage. Maybe a HUGE public explanation and apology is in order? If one of my designs were used and I remained uncredited for it, there would be no end to my wrath. The best of luck to you in the search for retribution !! Angrily yours, Chayla L. Wilson

Comments: Giger did more than design the Alien for the first movie and it's not just Fox that has ripped him off. Those designs have influenced EVERY Sci-Fi movie made since Alien. How can Fox get away with this? How can all these movie makers get away with this? Sounds to me like a job for an "Alien" Lawyer. Hope Giger has a vicious one.

Comments: I feel it is just another sign of how far the Alien series has slipped. The original movie was a master piece. I can remember first watching it when I was about 10. Me and my friends were absolutlety terrified. Mr Giger's work was a major part of making that movie so realistic, believeable and frightening. I recently purchased the wide screen version and it brought back some really good memories of seeing it for the first time. The 2nd was good, but it had lost something and seemed a little artificial. 3 was the continuing saga of Super Ripley and 4 started well and seemed have a feel of the first, but quickly turned into another splatter fest with little imagination and ended horribly.Ripley should have been left dead and they should have started fresh to see what made the first movie so good. Realistic characters, completely believeable ships inside and out and the stunning alien sets created by Mr. Giger. I am a long time Doctor Who fan and my ultimate dream would be to see H.R. Giger and Ridley Scott team up again to make another Alien movie or Doctor Who. Nice sight.

Comments: I guess my main question is: WHY? Why does FOX refuse to give credit where credit is due? What do they possibly have to gain from ignoring HR GIGER in the credits? It's pretty obvious to ANYONE with eyes that the ALIEN was indeed created by him. Personally, I think H.R. should consider himself lucky....ALIEN 3 and ALIEN 4 were two of the biggest disappointments in movie history. If my name was anywhere on those films, I would BEG to have it removed. Try to look on the birght side....at least now he won't be blamed for their failure. All joking aside....apparantly H.R. is just another very talented and creative individual who was chewed up and spit out by the corporate meat grinder that is Hollywood. He is not the first and ,unfortunately, he won't be the last

Comments: I wish the very worst on fox, may they burn in that place I can't put on this comment and may their children come into close contact with an Alien hybrid Newborn. And if they think their crimes will go unpunished, then they're wrong... How could they take Gigers name off the very thing that he designed. But that's okay, we know the truth. And by the way, I'm 8 years old and I've got a big poster of Necronomicon 4 on my wall, he's my favorite artist.

Comments: The only thing I could tell you, is to go to the Fox building and blow it sky high. I'm not a phsyco, but I do know that H.R. Gigers work is one of the things I liked to use when I was teaching myself how to draw. I couldn't even begin to say how much it helped, his use of colors and textures express so much life, you can literally feel the emotions in his work. Whether he meant them to be there or not, his work deserves so much credit and Fox has no right to destroy it like that. Every detail on his Alien drawings are so close to the real thing, I feel like I'm home. Ellie Ripley

Comments: First I want to state that I'm 27 years old and have ALWAYS been an Alien nut(my Giger designed tattoo is sufficent evidence of this). I rented it for the first time a month ago, due to my missing it for it's short duration at our local theatre. I let the credits roll along in the end, since I assumed I missed the Giger credit at the blink of an eye. Sure enough, to my outraged suprise, there was no credit given to the father of the Alien's image. May the FOX executives be crucified for their plagerism.

Comments: What am I supposed to say? It's an injustice that several artists must put up with. Gigers name will most likely end up not being on the species movies either. People who are gifted in the fields of art must learn that eventually everything they've done will be copied in some form or another... but since this is Giger we're talking about, noone should be allowed to copy or use his work unless he thinks them worthy. Fox is not, because in the predicted Alien 5, they take away everything that made Alien so popular, including the heroine Ellen Ripley... let's face it, they're a big corp. and we couldn't even begin to list the injustices they've commited towards Giger, and many other artists and designers.

If I am a fan of his, and I create something (somewhat influenced by the work of a man that I respect, however still something from my own mind) then should I be required to give him credit for influencing my style? No thoughts are 100% original, they are all influenced by the work of others.

I would like to show my sympathy for your worthy cause at Alien Insurrection, and say that, although I though Alien Resurrection was an excellent film, this was entirely because of concepts and creatures first designed solely by HR Giger. He is the one who should be making millions, not a company so unethical it will not even thank him.

Comments: I remember very well the first time I ever encountered Giger's Alien in a dark theatre. I have not been able to forget it since. It is at the same time the most beautiful and most frightening thing ever conceived. To deny Mr. Giger credit for the Alien lifeform, or even to suggest that he was not wholly responsible for it, is ludicrous. I have seen dozens of Alien rip off films, and even in THEM I could see Giger's influence. His style and vision is instantly recognizable by even my small children. Even if I were not a fan of the movies, (mostly because of Giger's Alien) I would still think Fox's behaviour reprehensible in this matter.

Comments: Well, Firstly... I was one of the airbrush artists who painted the aliens for Resurrection. It was obviously a giger design. We all know this, right? I get credit for 10% of any of the work I do for these sort of films... I recieved no credit for my work on this film. What really is the big deal? It is Hollywood. Deal with it. The aliens were designed off the GIGer design sure. But GIGER did not "Design" the Resurrection Version. His designs are beautiful, and the Films have bastardized them. So think of it as a compliment NOT having had GIGER'S name burnt into the celluoid! Granted , we did refer to the first films creatures through photos and such , Oh who cares.... I don't.
