Eksklusivt: Interview med Ridley Scott om ‘Alien: Covenant’
5. oktober 2017/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
I forbindelse med udgivelsen af Ridley Scotts både nervepirrende og blodige ‘Alien: Covenant’ bringer Filmskribenten stolt et interview med den legendariske filmskaber eksklusivt i Danmark.
Det hele startede tilbage i 1979 med Ridley Scotts egen rumklassiker – den klaustrofobiske og yderst skræmmende ‘Alien’. Den har siden affødt den actionmættede 2’er ‘Aliens’, videre til David Finchers ‘Alien³’ og den spraglede ‘Alien Resurrection’ samt to ‘Alien vs. Predator’-film – samt ikke mindst Ridleys Scotts egne ‘Prometheus’ og nu ‘Alien: Covenant’.
– ‘Alien: Covenant’ er ude på Ultra HD, Blu-ray, dvd og digitalt den 5. oktober.
Did you have te ‘Alien: Covenant’ concept already in mind while you were making ‘Prometheus’?
I’ve got te whole concept that will lead us back to te original ‘Alien’. I was always surprised by why no one in te subsequent three sequels ever asked who would create this thing and why.
‘Prometheus’ was resurrecting ‘Alien’ off from ground zero, because it was dead, and getting finally to who would do such a thing and for what reason. It touched on mortality and immortality, it touched on te creation of AI. This one really gets to it. This is te next phase.
Is it fair to say te new film is more reminiscent of ‘Alien’ than ‘Prometheus’?
Yes, only te evolution is way beyond te original ‘Alien’. Te original ‘Alien’ was pretty good in te effect that it was a good old basic story of seven people locked in an old dark house and all of them will die. There is nothing more B-movie than that is there? But B-movies have a habit of really playing big when they are done right.
I always thought that ‘Alien’ was a B-movie with an A cast-list and an AA monster. So we evolved and elevated what was fundamentally a horror film to another level and here we are still making them, so te proof is in te pudding.
How would you describe this new planet?
It might feel familiar. Any planet that is going to be te right position from a source of heat like a sun to have life is probably going to get a very similar construction in terms of biology and plant life to Earth. I’m trying to find a reality for te story. NASA now think that by te thousands, millions maybe, aliens are out there.
About 30 years ago, when I made ‘Alien’, I was coming round te fact that we aren’t necessarily biological accidents. To be a biological accident means te forces of nature would had to have made millions or billions of correct decisions randomly, which of course is mathematically ridiculous. Therefore was there anyone in charge? We would call that God, but I look on it as another form of superior life and part of their job was to evolve other planets.
What did Milford Sound (New Zealand) give you as te location for this new world?
Well, New Zealand is shocking beautiful. Te South Island particularly. It is kind of heaven on Earth. Also there are only four-and-a-half million people on te North and South Island. And te South Island is one million people. So it is empty and spectacular.
Did you deliberately want Katherine Waterston’s Daniels to echo Ripley in ‘Alien’?
Yes, we wanted to follow te tradition of having a leading lady but it is no longer that new. I mean, I’ve done GI Jane, I’ve done Thelma and Louise. I’ve done quite a few. I never thought it was particularly remarkable that I had a leading lady in Sigourney Weaver in ‘Alien’. I thought, “Why not? Good idea. Let’s go.” Te same with Katherine — it seemed to make sense to follow in te tradition.
How does te crew of te Covenant as a whole compare to te Nostromo in ‘Alien’?
Well, in those days we were talking about te equivalent of a freighter that is going off to planets for their mining capabilities. They will come back with valuable ores; whatever is valuable at that particular point. Te crew of te Nostromo were workers, in that respect. Te crew of te Covenant are scientists, biologists, builders and electricians. What’s more, they have been chosen to fit in with one another.
Anyone who was taken onboard would have to be like any good pioneer wagon train: very much self-sufficient and part of te overall structure. Because when they get there, as we say in te movie, they are going to be neighbours — and neighbours had better help each other.
Are you using practical effects to create te various stages of te Alien?
You need everything. I always try and shoot as much as I can. I had to on te original Alien. We had to physically build te Alien. Te Alien had to be fitted on a guy as a rubber suit. It was never animatronic. There was no way of doing that kind of thing on that scale. I had a secret studio, I was te only one allowed in there, and every day I would go in there and sit and chat with te actor who was in te suit, Bolaji Badejo, and work with him.
Everything that you saw on te original ‘Alien’ was physical. I filmed it and cut around te dodgy bits. Nevertheless it was hugely successful. So you look to maintain some of that. And te little ones were as bad as te big one. I think one of te mostly ghastly things was te egg and te facehugger.
How do you balance that with computer effects?
It is all about planning. Knowing what you are about. Te best thing I did as a filmmaker was go to art school. You learned to draw professionally. I can really draw and really paint. In fact, I do that as a hobby now. I’ve gone back to it. But it has helped me enormously because I have a natural aptitude for it. When I’m reading a script I am already seeing te film.
How much of te look te new film has been predetermined by te styles of ‘Alien’ and ‘Prometheus’?
Well, I try and keep everything different. So te style of te film, I think, is quite different from te original Alien. Also we are going into a different universe that te original Alien didn’t go into, we’re on a new planet and we’re inside new architecture – te world of te Engineers. So it’s quite different. It’s a much more layered, complex story.
Is it harder to shock an audience now compared to 1979?
It’s much harder. In a funny kind of way it is easier to make people laugh. Most comedians would say, “Fuck you, that’s not true.” But it is, because I have done both. To really, really disturb and scare wilfully as a form of entertainment is tricky, there are so many dark, cruel and weird films now. You’ve got to be careful about that.
You have a responsibility as a director. I used to watch te audience reactions to Alien and realised that you can go only so far with te violence. You’ve got to really think about who you showing this to and is it sick or is it not? I try not to make it sick but scary.
