A lot of vital elements came together in the casting, design, production and direction to make a 1979 film launch the behemoth that is the Alien franchise. This collection of fascinating behind the scenes photos, artwork and interviews takes the fan and the casual viewer through the history of the production with an updated chapter on the recent Ridley Scott films.

Something about the alien brutal killing machine vs the complex shades of humanity is so captivating to me. It’s frightening and yet mesmerising. After reading the Alien Vault, I need to go and re-watch my dvd’s again as my favourite lines and scenes were constantly in my mind throughout. Ripley will always be one of my favourite film heroes.

Fantastic companion to the Alien movie - recommended if you're a fan of the movie and want to see some behind the scenes information and pictures!

The photos and info about Alien were interesting to read about. I did struggle to keep reading because it was very wordy and the print was small.

This is the ultimate guide for any fan of the 1979 classic, Alien. It’s a beautifully presented, comprehensive look at the concepts and designs found within the film, from the xenomorph’s biology to the Nostromo’s engineering.
It would make for the perfect gift for the sci-fi fan in your life.

I can’t get this to open! So disappointed I want to read this so badly... I hope it comes out in another version soon.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Eeeeeeh!

Okay, sorry, but I never thought my wish would be granted for this book and I'm so thrilled I got to read it!

Alien is one of my all-time favorite movies and this book is an absolute treat to read.

It's a great behind the scenes look with wonderful pictures and illustrations!
