Hello friends cinephiles!. I present my retro-movie segment of today to relive those good memories of those movies and that marked a beautiful time.
Today I will share "Alien", is a science fiction and horror film starring Sigourney Weaver and directed by British filmmaker Ridley Scott and released in 1979. It is the first film of the Alien Saga.
Synopsis:
"Somewhere in the universe a human spaceship receives a call for help. The computer decides to awaken the crew from cryogenics and they decide to investigate. Once they arrive on the planet they discover very strange things, among them a room with many eggs, a creature comes out of one of these eggs and attacks one of them, in that moment they realize that it was not a call for help but a warning not to approach there, humans have no idea of the new passenger to accompany them on their trip".

Curiosities:
In my country and in the rest of Latin America is known as "Alien: El Octavo Pasajero" (Alien: The Eighth Passenger).
With a budget of 11 million dollars this film managed to raise 105 million dollars (10 times what it cost)
The filming lasted fourteen weeks in London and I had three sets of recordings.
Won an Oscar Award in the category of best visual effects.
For the promotional images they decided to use chicken eggs at first to recreate the eggs of the Alien.
Due to the low budget of the film, Decorations of the interiors of the Nostromo ship were shot in an aircraft cemetery.
The original title of the film was Star Beast and the one on the ship was Snark instead of Nostromo and before this was Leviatan.
To give realism to the expressions of the actors there were several scenes where they did not tell the actors what was going to happen, as in the scene of the alien coming out of the chest.
The skin of the Alien was transparently transparent, but they did not achieve this effect. Later they incorporated him into the "Predator".
The drool that comes out of the mouth of the Alien was not in the script but a spill of lubricant for the mechanism of the head of the Alien. The production team decided to leave it at that.
Before the digital effects, the monsters of the movies' were played by real actors. The role of the Alien was for a Nigerian artist named Bolaji Badejo. He was very thin and had sufficient height according to the director for the "protagonist" of the film: 2.18 meters.
It's all for today friends Steemians
Until another chance.

Wooow this is such a good oldie!. Special effects was very good and of course... Sigourney Weaver was really hot XD.
For that moment the effects were very great, although now they are not so bad. Thanks for your opinion @adolforivas42.
