Original vintage screenplay copy for ALIEN, credited to Walter Hill and David Giler, based on the story by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. This script features a Brandywine Productions title page and represents an early production-era screenplay for one of the most influential science fiction and horror films ever created. Alien remains a landmark motion picture that helped redefine both genres and launched one of the most successful and enduring franchises in film history.
The screenplay is bound in vintage studio-style format with blue cardstock covers and brass fasteners. The title page credits Walter Hill and David Giler, whose revisions and screenplay work helped shape the final version of the film. Also credited are original story creators Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Included within the script is a quotation from W.Auden regarding science fiction, a feature often associated with early screenplay and development material for the project. Interior pages contain occasional isolated underlining but no significant handwritten notes, revisions, signatures, or production annotations were observed. The script appears complete and remains highly displayable.
This screenplay was acquired as part of a large collection of vintage film and television scripts originating from the archive of Peter Flynn. The broader collection contained numerous original Hollywood scripts, treatments, and production documents spanning multiple decades. While no direct production paperwork accompanies this specific script, it was obtained from that archive group and is being offered with that provenance. Alien memorabilia continues to be among the most sought-after categories in science fiction collecting. Original scripts, production materials, and development documents from the franchise are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly examples dating to the film's original production era.
Interior pages show light wear from use and storage. Occasional isolated underlining is present on a small number of pages. No extensive handwritten notes or significant production annotations were observed.
Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the item being offered. A desirable collectible for Alien fans, screenplay collectors, science fiction enthusiasts, movie memorabilia collectors, film historians, archive collectors, and fans of classic Hollywood production material.
