Here’s Sigourney Weaver Testing the ‘Alien’ Flamethrower For the First Time!
I found this insanely cool hidden gem over at reddit that depicts Sigourney Weaver testing out the flamethrower prior to filming Alien on the Shepperton Studios’ backlot lawn, 1978.
A remote switch was used to activate the lighter inside, and once lit, says the reddit user, director Ridley Scott “liked to keep it that way.”
This photo beautifully captures what’s wrong with filmmaking these days. Now, a flamethrower would be deemed “too dangerous,” and CGI would be utilized as a replacement. Fuck that shit. Look at the above stunning photo and then the bliss of how it looks on film below.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
