Titan Publishing is set to release “Alien: The Archive” on Tuesday October 28th. This one-of-a-kind book is a behind-the-scenes showcase of never-before-seen photos from the productions of Alien franchise. At this point these films are legendary with horror lovers and regular movie viewers alike, so I’m happy to debut a couple exclusive behind the scenes photos ahead of the book hitting.
This concept art and these behind the scene photos will peal back the mystique of some of the most compelling films of all time. If you’re not acquainted with Titan’s other efforts I urge you to head out and purchase their “Robocop: The Definitive History” book, it makes the perfect coffee table book and pack to the brim with incredible insight into another landmark in 80’s genre filmmaking.
Stay tuned over the next week from “Alien: The Archive” but for now, enjoy these fucking stellar photos!
