FILM 1682: ALIEN: COVENANT
TRIVIA: This movie contains a scene
where a toy bird drinking water (named, aptly, a "drinky-bird") is
visible. In the opening scene of Alien (1979),
there is such a toy bird shown on board the Nostromo's bridge.
This was the first
"Alien" film to be released after the death of H.R. Giger. Giger
inadvertently designed the original "Alien" looks and environments in
his "Necronomicon" book, which led to Ridley Scott hiring him as Art
Director for the film (and franchise). Giger essentially gave birth to the
entire "Alien" look that we all know.
Walter breaks the pattern of the
androids' names proceeding in alphabetical order (Ash, Bishop, Call, David).
There is another pattern to their names, however. "D" is the fourth
letter of the alphabet, and "W" is the fourth-to-last. The characters
are named for David Giler and Walter Hill.
