Sir Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror, genre-defining movie masterpiece Alien gets a long overdue documentary about all of the gory details that went into making it. Memory: The Origins of Alien unearths the largely untold origin story behind Scott's cinematic masterpiece, and reveals a treasure trove of never-before-seen materials from the archives of Alien creators Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger -- including original story notes, rejected designs and storyboards, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and O'Bannon's original 29 page script from 1971, titled Memory. The documentary also takes fans on an exploration of the mythical underpinnings of Alien and dedicates focus on the film's iconic "Chestburster" scene.
