The History Of Aliens In Film


This compilation from Digg takes a look at the history of aliens in film. It starts with 1902’s A Trip to the Moon and goes all the way to 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. What a long strange trip it’s been.

It’s not meant to be complete so don’t get your panties in a bunch. It’s just a cool look at the phenomenon in general. It is a great overview of how film technology has evolved as well. It’s really fascinating to watch the evolution of aliens on film because it tells us more about ourselves.

Predator Sarcophagus

Predator SarcofagusCheck out this Predator Sarcophagus based on the AVP film with a mummified predator inside. The mummy inside even has a gold death mask and the sarcophagus has all of the hieroglyphics depicting the alien life cycle and predator hunting practices. This would look great in any collection.

It measures 16 inches long and is actually in perfect scale with the hot toys predator dolls. You get the sarcophagus, lid, predator and the helmet. I love all of the detail.

Predator Metal Sculpture Tables And Alien Chairs

Mari9art wants you to be scared to death when you sit down for lunch. This metal sculptural Predator table and these Alien chairs are awesome. I personally would love to have both in the kitchen or on the patio. These are made out of recycled spare parts.

They are not only striking, but they will also strike fear in the hearts of your guests as well. If you have the extra money, I would suggest buying both of these and having an awesome set.

Full Size Silicone Bishop Replica From Aliens

Fans of the Aliens Franchise will want to save up some money, because this Full Size Silicone Bishop Replica From Aliens is pretty awesome. Gross, but awesome. From what I remember of that scene, this replica looks dead on. Who could forget Lance Henriksen right after being ripped apart by the Queen Alien? The body is made of fiberglass while the head and arms are made from high end FX quality silicone.

The eyes are even matched to Lance’s eye color. The hair too. It will cost you $3,000. and for what it’s worth, Lance Henriksen himself seems to approve. The artist who created this piece displayed the initial version at a show called Monsterpalooza in 2014 where Lance was in attendance. You can see him posing with it in the last picture.

Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue

The latest toy to take our money is this awesome Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue. Not that we are complaining. Hollywood Collectibles has gone all out on this thing. The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader was used by Ripley to defeat the Alien Queen! This statue was recreated from the original blueprints and you can see for yourself that no detail was spared.

It’s exactly the same size as the model used for filming the movie. That would be an impressive 33-inches tall x 25-inches wide. It has a webbing operator harness made of real material, a working light-up hazard light on top, and an accurate weathered finish. The detail is pretty stunning. This is a must for fans of the Alien franchise. A quality statue like this doesn’t come cheap. It is priced at $1,199.99.

This Is What The Edge Of Tomorrow Aliens Could’ve Looked Like

Check out this Edge of Tomorrow concept art from production designer Oliver Scholl. His art department created these for the film. Here we get to see how different the aliens (mimics) might have looked. I like both versions and wouldn’t want to go up against any of them, time loop or no.

There are also some art pieces that show off the evolution of the exo-suit. The artwork here was created by Steve Burg, Tani Kunitake, Ed Natividad, Jeff Julian, Harald Belke and others. Live. Die. Repeat.

The Great Martian War: CGI Martians Invade WWI Footage

This video clip will make you believe that the Martians invaded during WWI. It is that good. Of course we all know that that never happened. Last year the History channel aired a mockumentary about the “Great Martian War” of 1913-1917. The videos of the battles are the best part, which places War of the Worlds type aliens in real footage from World War I.

Directed by Christian Johnson and Steve Maher. This is a fun take on alternate history.

John Carter Character Design And Concept Art

Michael Kutsche served as a character designer on the John Carter movie a few years back. The movie may not have been the success that Disney had hoped, but you certainly can’t blame it on the character and creature design. Kutsche did some amazing and out of this world work.

Check out some of the concept art from his Behance page. In some ways the creatures are even more alive in his art than they were on the screen.
