Comments: So, it finally comes the day when absolutely all credibility is thrown
out the window. Be not surprised. This is merely a symptom, in a year when David Mamet has
to shar screen credit for Wag the Dog and Jim Cameron wins Best Director and Best Movie,
it is only somehow fitting that Giger get screwed. Hollywood has once again succeeded in
putting the tumbscrews to us, and frankly we are letting it happen. From the bottom of my
heart I decry the sins of Fox, of Hollywood, and praise the fortitude and integrity of
H.R. Giger and his many fans. I am proud to be numbered among them. Fight the power!

Alien, c'est vous et seulement vous ! La premiere fois que je l'ai vu, c'est dans un
special "Metal Hurlant". Je n'avais rien vu de tel avant. J'ai appris que les
monstres pouvaient etre beau. J'ai meme ose reproduire l'Alien N°1 en gravure (pointe

Comments: As much as I don't like the american film-industry to take advantage of
fine intellectual work like yours, I also don't like the fact that they are making money
out of it on your expense, and not to mention ourselves; the consumers of the product.
However, the sequels to Alien are all inferior to the first and can never create the same
atmosphere and fear it envokes in all of us who have seen it. The last movie, Alien:
Resurrection, is a total turkey and the newborn looks like a puny mongoloid Alien
creature! Be glad you are not mentioned in the credits. Americans have yet another time
shown how crazy for money they are, and at the same time shown how little taste and lack
of fantasy they have. It has all become just another boring action movie.

Comments: I belive that fox has stolen gigers "child". Whenever I think
of the alien or if i am reading one of the books I only think of Gigers alien and not what
is being described to me. the beautifull design of the alien is definatly Gigers style of
art, and I have never seen another thing like it ever. and for fox not to give you credit
for gigers work when it brought fox a fortune is unbeliveable. I loved the alien design in
resurection better than any of the other movies because it is more alien now and closer to
what giger was trying to display. I hope that this horible problem will be rectified soon,
or i might be crazy enough to boycott the other movies unless gigers name is displayed
prowdly in the opening credits.

that Fox can actually have the blatent lack of respect for the obvious designer of the
original alien. It is obvious that there is,in no way, any doubt that the alien in Alien 4
is based from the Necronom drawings and it is stunning to think that a major Film
Corporation can Deny H.R. Giger his rightful credit. You have my full support

the film company that has been using one of the most perfect monsters of this century, I
am a Giger fan, and I am not going to glorify his work, he had now his own place on art,
and I belive that was better for him not to work on the sequels of the movie, his creation
stay there in the mind and in the tapes of all the people that know and apreciate his art,
us, but the film company absolutly comit a terrible mistake by skiping Giger's credits for
the creation of the eighth passenger, and is something that you can not forgot and

movie. I was actually glad that they did not connect the artistry of H.R. Giger with such
an atrocity. Unfortunately for the talent of H.R. his art was extremely present. If not
for that fact the movie would not have any recognition at all.

work. Still, I am amazed that Fox has acted so blatantly in not crediting you with the
design of the Alien creature. The story of how Dan O'Bannon and Ridley Scott found the
design of the creature in "Necronomicon" is part of cinema legend. Your creature
is horrific, beautiful and entirely your own. Best Wishes, Craig Porter

of these movies, the atmosphere, the horror, the fear, it's all based on the Giger's alien

out that he would like to be creditted!

Comments: I am quite unable to comprehend how greedy FOX really is. There is game
called "Quake" (some of you may know it) and a small group of people created an
addon to this game called Alien. It deals with the whole alien theme as you play as a
marine attempting to stop the Alien menace. This addon was excellently done, and could
have been a game in itself. But... FOX heard about the game and decided that it was
infringing on their copyright, as a result they shut the whole operation down. I just
think that's pretty sad....

be sued.First of all,as far as i understand, you created the alein monsters. therefore you
should have credit for that. I think that by not giving you crdeit for your creation, they
ceated you out of entitelments of being the creater. I hope that you do take legal action.
for those people who do not know about your works of art and your creations, they assume
that the movie producers came up with the design of the alien.I think it is only apporaite
that you take leagal action, and let those who think they can take credit for your work,

Comments: Giger's oversight in the A4 credits is both a personal insult to the
individual artist and a global threat to all artists. Intellectual property is the
artist's welfare, and must be protected. Giger ranks with Syd Mead and Ralph Mcquarie
(sp?) as one of the pioneering giants of sci-fi movie design, and future iterations on his
initial designs must still reflect credit back upon him. As an artist myself, I have been
greatly influenced by both Giger's work and the Alien films (well, at least the first
two...) and I wish to see him reap the rewards he so richly deserves.

Comments: I vividly remember the first time I saw Giger's ALIEN. I was a young
child and my parents were watching ALIEN on television. I was too young and not allowed to
watch it. I snuck into the adjacent room and could see the TV screen reflected in the
glass frame of a picture hanging above their heads. When the creature appeared, needless
to say it made an indelible impression on me, The ALIEN series as we know it would simply
NOT EXIST without the vision of H.R. GIGER, I have seen many films since that night when I
was a childand many movie monsters . But NONE of them have struck me as his did. It seems
like the basest common sense that Giger should be given credit for a vision so pure and
unique, especially since he ws inlisted to work officially on the first film. It is an
abject display of greed, arrogance and ignorance on the part of FOX to bold facedly ignore
the massive contribution Giger made to their "franchise". They should give
credit where credit is due, It's the HUMAN thing to do.

Comments: It is an outrage to separate an artist from true original creation. A
debasement of that creation and an afront like separating mother from child. To allow this
abduction of a work is to send a message to creators their children are not safe in the
world at large. Kidnapping and murder of an essence is not strong enough to express how I
feel on this subject. HR Geiger and others like him are the modern creators of a
mythology, filling a spiritual gulf with visualisations and realisations - these are sadly
lacking in our modern world. It is with great sadness that an empty few seek to separate
the artist from his children - his creations. Why is it not possible to nuture the
crreation and the creator? The goose that laid the golden egg comes to mind here... I am
35 and over those 35 years of experience few images have made such an impact on me as have
Gieger's. Sparking at once an impetus to other ideas and a sudden realisation of what is
confronted. Put simply - the separation of artist from creation cannot be allowed to
happen. We have to defend this as we would our own culture and identity - it is a global
ownership and one that belongs firmly attached to its nexus - it's umbillical... this is
not just an outrage it is violence in its blackest form. I hope the intellectuals do not
allow this crime to continue or go un punished. With best regards to Mr Geiger and his
appreciators. Ian Taylor - Australia/UK

Resurrection. I've always like Giger's artwork since Aliens (too young and naive to
remember much from the first one). From reading Giger's letters, he sounds pretty peeved.
If it isn't obvious enough that the whole Alien atmosphere belongs to Giger then Fox has

on Thanksgiving of the year it was released on video. I was scared shitless. A few years
later, I watched Aliens again to redeem myself. I fell in love with the Xenomorphs. Fox is
showing us its pure corporate greed by denying HR Giger his credit. Their precious
Quadrilogy (going on Quintilogy) would not even exist without his help. And Fox protects
this money maker with legal threats and everything. 4 Add-Ons for Quake (which were to be
offered for FREE) were shut down by Fox so its own inept game based on Aliens would not
have any contenders. The only real money maker Fax should do is release the extended

Comments: Alien4 was a dreadful film. Primarily because of the new Alien designs,
which were like a cheap forgery of Giger. The half-human half-Alien by far the most
abhorrent example of this. Had Giger designed it, it could have been mesmorizing. But
instead it was a complete artistic failure. I hope Giger wins his battle with Fox. The
real irony hear? Fox is one of the most militant protectors of copyright. Websites devoted

Comments: As someone who would very much like to someday work with Mr. Giger, I
must confess that I am much perplexed by the commercial American film industry's treatment
of such an original, talented designer. If it arose that Mr. Giger chose not to associate
himself further with filmmakers, I, for one, would not blame him. It is my hope, however,
that the intellectual and artistic abuse he has experienced of late will not drive him
from a field wherein there are so many other visionaries who are willing to appreciate and
create unique cinematic art with this man. Thank you.

Comments: I am stunned by the stupidity(best fitting word) of FOX... I cannot
believe, that they do not give proper credit where credit is due. HR Giger's artwork is
unbelieaveble, and I would give him credit, even if I did not use his artwork. The use of
his artwork is apparent to anyone, and it is quite clear that his work and intellectual
inspiration is apparant throughout the film. Alien 4 contains more footage of the actual
aliens than any of the previous films, and every second is pure HR Giger paintings coming
to life. I beleive that the first reaction from FOX (none) is an expression of their
immediate fear of reprecausion. The fact that HR Giger has clearly been misused is
apparent to anyone, and my reaction to their ineffectivity and childish denial cannot be
clearly expressed in words.. I give my best hopes and wishes to HR Giger, and hope that he
will recieve the appropriate credits as well as a formal excuse for this incredible lack
of intellect. Your truely, Lars Koudal By the way: I like this homepage as well ;-)

Comments: I have just witnessed the Alien4 in movie theatre and I could say I'm NOT
pleased what I have seen. First of all, it's really anoying when someone takes all the
credit from someone elses work. Second, the movie it self had serious faults. The Aliens
were quite beatiful, though it were just cause of computer graphicses progress. But a
movie is nothing without a good script. So, is it so bad that You don't get credit from a
bad movie ?

Comments: H.R. Giger's style and creativity are constantly being ripped off - this
is just another example of it. All I would have to say to the man is this: They must love
your work or they wouldn't steal it from you. No one with any sense can look at any image
that is a ripoff of your style and not notice where it came from. Credit doesn't have to
be spelled out in text or willfully given - we all know where the credit belongs for the
imagery in the "Alien" movies. The history of Art is a cannabalistic feeding
frenzy of ideas and styles; you're just another page in that history. I must admit,
though, that Fox has lost my respect and my business as a result of this blatant abuse. I
have found all of the "Alien" sequels to be disappointing compared to the
original, and this lack of credit gives me the excuse I need to never bother to view the
latest installment. I have no desire to feed money to a corporation that behaves in this
manner.

Comments: Dear sirs, Being a great admirer of HR Giger's work already before the
first film was shot, My opinion obviously goes in favor of H.G.'s point of vieuw in the
matter of his claim for credits in the latest Alien (4) movie. The attitude Fox has taken
on this subject is one of greed, and I wish compnies (not persons) could be punished as
the victims were by the psychopath in the movie 'SEVEN'. Naturally, this is not possible.
What I can do to support him is send a mail to my chatlist (containing about 300
e-mail-fantasy enthousiasts, to take a look at this site and try to convince them to send
their reaction to you. Meanwhile, I whish you a lot of succes in achieving the credits and
the money that you deserve. Peter

of the highest order. Without HRG it is safe to say that "Alien" and its sequels

huge fan, as some of the pictures are fantastic. I just can't believe that FOX would be so
stupid as to not give him credit for probably the most original and brilliant designs ever
seen. Especially when it is obvious that the aliens in Alien:Resurrection are 'inspired'
by Giger's "Necronomicon". It seems to me to be a case of plagiarism, OK, maybe
that's a little strong, but it amounts to the same thing, when this happens All I can say
to Giger is fight for what is rightfully yours, and please keep coming up with the amazing
art!

Comments: Having really enjoyed the Alien movies I became very interested in
Giger's work. For me the Alien/Giger relationship is a unit and one cannot get the movie
without the artist's creation. The entire feel of the movie would be completely different
were other 'aliens' to be used. I have yet to find an 'alien' movie which grabs me the way
the Alien series has, and I honestly think that the Giger Alien is responsible for this.
At the first showing here in RSA I eagerly awaited to see Giger's name emblazoned
somewhere on the screen. To my great disappointment it never appeared. Upon investigation
I came upon your site and the truth of the matter. Needless to say I am appalled by the
actions of the responsible film studio, and as a big fan of the film feel rather let down.
I can only imagine the betrayal Giger must feel. I do hope that some agreement is reached
so that the Alien/Giger partnership can be healed. Those that are in the wrong know it, it
is up to them to correct it.

Comments: I hate greedy non creative types who don't have the imagination to
create, so instead they rape those of us who do and take all the credit for it. Why?
Because they can. Because money talks. Because sadly, there are people who are more
concerned with making money than creating art. I am a huge fan of the Alien films. Mainly,
I am a huge fan of Giger and his work. I was not aware that Giger would be getting fucked
over yet again by FOX on this 4th movie. I went and saw it the first day it came out and I
looked for Giger's name and when I didn't see it, I was upset. I was already aware of the
Alien III situation and it just further angered me that FOX did it again. Giger loves his
work. I thought the new movie started out with a good premise. I liked the new Ripley. I
wasn't too happy with the new Digital Alien. Especially since they just scanned in Giger's
work. That Newborn creature was lame. The ending was lame. The movie definitely could have
been better. How do you think George Lucas would react if FOX began using his Star Wars
creations in their own movies and didn't give him credit? How about if we stick E.T. in a
sequel and give credit for his creation to Stan Winston? I honestly can't beleive FOX is
getting away with this. GIGER should get paid! He is the creator!

Comments: I'm basically regurgitating everything that has been previously mentioned
by Alien Fans. however, I did not know about this H.R.Giger dilemma until coming across
this webpage. And I thought Alien Resurrection was as good as Alien and Aliens. Well, my
life has come to a screeching halt now that I have found out that Giger has been wronged.
I almost feel guilty for liking Alien Resurrection. The Alien movies revolve around 2
things-- HR Giger's Aliens and Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. If you replace Sigourney with
another actress, Ripley's character would never be the same. So if the Aliens arent
credited by Giger, its as if they were "made" by someone else. And if I found
out that the Aliens in Resurrection werent credited by Giger, then I would be watching a
fake. Okay, maybe this was a bad analogy. In short.... HR Giger is the sole creator of
these creatures and nobody could have the equal imagination to do so. Give the man some
props. He is probably an Alien in disguise for all we know. Hail!!

person who is responsible for creating not only a multi million dollars franchise (Movies,
toys, comic books, video games, etc.) but who is also responsible for creating the monster
that changed my life as a kid. I would truly love Giger getting the credit he deserves. I
would also love to see Giger get full creative control over any future Alien films so that
they do not all suffer the same fate as the last ones (all great movies, they just lack
something the first had). If you don't get the recognization that you've earned, then I
would say sue them. It is clearly a cut and dry case and I don't think you would have any
problems at all raking 20th Century Fox over the coals.

and espesially for Alien: Resurecction.I know that most people say that they are
"your biggest fan", but I can truly say that I am one of H.R. Giger's work.I
think that the work Giger did for the Alien movies is pure genius, and I hope my voiced

Comments: I wish to add my voice to the many fans of the Aliens films who know that
these movies would be nothing without the brilliant and haunting designs of H.R. Giger. It
shows a remarkable lack of integrity on the part of Twentieth Century Fox to deny Giger
his rightful credit, as it shows a remarkable lack of intelligence that his services were
not obtained in creating the "Newborn" creature for the most recent movie. The
"Newborn" is cheap imitation of Gigers work that is incapable of approaching the
grace, beauty and dignity of the Master. Even die-hard Alien fans will one day grow tired
of such insults; and if Twentieth Century Fox wishes to maintain the series and the income
it creates, it had best do everything in its power to draw Mr. Giger back into its
studios. Ted Slautterback Seoul, Korea
