Trivia

Denis Villeneuve previously directed Blade Runner 2049 (2017) for producer Ridley Scott. Scott was at one point planning to direct an adaptation of Dune. His own film Alien (1979) was written by Dan O'Bannon and designed by H.R. Giger, Chris Foss, Jean 'Moebius' Giraud and Ron Cobb - all of whom had met each other while working on Alejandro Jodorowsky's failed Dune adaptation, and brought much of their design works from that project to Alien.
