About this photo
Ellen Ripley faces the Xenomorph in the corridors of the Nostromo
This photograph captures one of the most intense moments in Ridley Scott’s masterpiece, filmed at Shepperton Studios in 1978. The director had insisted that Sigourney Weaver remain on set even between takes to maintain the palpable tension that radiates from the screen. An anecdote reveals that the actress had developed her own body language to portray Ripley, inspired by her observations of female workers in shipyards.
With a modest budget of $11 million, *Alien* grossed over $200 million at the global box office and revolutionized the space horror genre. The film launched Weaver’s career, which continued with *Aliens* in 1986, earning her an Oscar nomination. The franchise became a cultural phenomenon, establishing Ripley as the archetype of the modern female heroine in cinema.
Immerse yourself in the claustrophobic world where Ellen Ripley faces her inner demons as much as she does the perfect creature.
