ALIEN VAULT: THE DEFINITIVE STORY OF THE MAKING OF THE FILM
Book ID/图书代码: 01585011B44787
English Summary/英文概要: For over thirty years, audiences have been captivated as the crew of a cargo ship is invaded and stalked by a terrifying parasitic creature in this groundbreaking 1979 science-fiction horror film. Fully licensed, The Alien Vault gives fans an up close and personal look into the creation of the movie with hands-on access to director Ridley Scott’s hand-drawn storyboards, concept sketches of the alien, script pages complete with the director’s notes, construction blueprints for the ship, never-been-seen-before photos of the cast and crew, and more.
The text explores the development of the Alien creature by surrealist painter H.R. Giger and the mythology of the Alien species, the evolution of the character of Ripley (hailed as a feminist hero, the role catapulted Sigourney Weaver into stardom), the award-winning special effects, and the film’s significant cultural influence.
With ten removable special features and packaged in a deluxe slipcase, The Alien Vault brings readers close to the filmmakers in a way no other book has before.

About the Author/作者介绍: 伊恩.南森在伦敦工作,并定居在那里。他曾担任过电影剧作家、制片人、播音员及杂志主编二十年之久。作为《帝国》这一世界领先的电影杂志的执行主编,他可以每天通过创作、编辑、写文章来保持他的热情,他通过这一不加掩饰的渠道向世界提出他自己的观点。正如任何一位明智的电影爱好者一样,他伴随着詹姆斯.邦德系列、《夺宝奇兵》成长,并在他的身高可以掩盖他年龄的不足时,偷偷溜进电影院看恐怖电影。渐渐地,他近乎痴迷于希区柯克的电影及黑泽明的映画世界中的一切,也痴迷于晦涩难懂的电影理论及自己最爱的演员哈里森.福特。他有着非常好的运气,可以环游全球、采访那些伟大优秀的人物、目睹神一般的导演史蒂芬.斯皮尔伯格工作、和彼特.杰克森以及一桌子的半兽人(电影指环王中的角色)一起吃着冰淇淋、帮西格尼.韦弗买早餐、曾和导演奥利弗.斯通及女星凯特.温丝莱特拥抱—遗憾地是,不是同时和他们两位拥抱。他定期地出版书籍、为《伦敦泰晤士报》及《独立报》这样的报纸撰稿,也为一些杂志撰稿。他每周还有一个广播节目。他还为一些纪录片和颁奖典礼担任制片人。对他而言,导演雷德利.斯科特的作品尤其是这部不同凡响的《异形》是具有创造性的意义的,他的作品能激发他深入思考“电影可以是什么样的,以及从电影中可以挖掘出多少有价值的东西。 Ian Nathan, who lives and works in London, has been a film writer, producer, broadcaster and magazine editor for twenty years. As executive editor of Empire, the world’s leading film magazine, he is allowed to feed his passions on a daily basis: generating, editing and writing articles as a thinly veiled excuse to provide the world with his opinions. Like any healthy cinema obsessive, he grew up on James Bond, Indiana Jones, and sneaking into horror movies when he was tall enough. It has grown into a magnificent obsession with everything from Hitchcock to Kurosawa, from arcane film theory to picking your favourite Harrison Ford punch. He has had the immense good fortune of traversing the globe, interviewing the great and good: watching the godlike Steven Spielberg at work, eating ice cream with Peter Jackson and a tableful of orcs, buying Sigourney Weaver breakfast, and being hugged by both Oliver Stone and Kate Winslet –sadly, not at the same time. He has regularly contributed to books; newspapers such as the London Times and Independent; and magazines; had a weekly radio show; and produced TV documentaries and award ceremonies. The work of Sir Ridley Scott, in particular the extraordinary Alien, has been seminal in inspiring him to what film could be, and how much there is to discover within it.
