“Dead. Everything Here Is Dead” - Alien's Unfilmed Red City Scene
818Despite the decades that have passed since its release, and the countless documentaries and explorations of its production, there are still secrets that “Alien” continues to keep its claws firmly entrenched in. Secrets locked away in a vault at 20th Century Studios, or as this article will explore, secrets kept in the personal collections of the people who worked on the film.
One such secret is the mysterious Red City. I expect few of you reading this article will have heard about the Red City. It’s a story element that has until relatively recently remained lost to the annals of time, and the first we ever saw of this mystery city that would have been found on the surface of the planetoid that would later become known as LV-426 was in the concept artwork of Elliot Scott.
