Rinzler has previously set the bar for ""The Making of"" genre. By the end of this book he's becoming the platinum standard. This is easily the most well done and comprehensive look at Alien fans have ever seen.” 10/10 - Adventures in Poor Taste “author J.W. Rinzler brilliantly guides us through the long and fascinating origins of this unforgettable film by Ridley Scott” - Dead Enertainment “a gorgeous book and a must have for fans of the franchise” - Fangirl Nation “an extraordinary revelation of a film we thought we already knew.” - Film School Rejects “an exhaustive volume, one that works on two levels...you can page through, just soaking in the extraordinary illustrations and concept art from Ron Cobb, Chris Foss, H.R. Giger, and Scott himself. It’s also a book that provides some phenomenal detail into the story of the film’s production, and how it fit into the larger picture of cinema.” - The Verge “While I can’t recommend The Making of Alien highly enough to fans of the movie, it’s also an interesting look into the creative process, shedding light on the creation of one of the greatest films of all time. Rinzler and Titan have released a top-quality book that should interest any fan of horror, science fiction, or good film in general” - Ravenous Monster “a perfect 40th anniversary dedication” - Geekisphere “shines a light into these neglected corners of the animation legend's career” - SYFY ""An engaging tribute to a widely respected film, but also a treat for fans of books about moviemaking."" - Booklist “A fantastic in-depth look behind the scenes at Ridley Scott's horror/sci-fi masterpiece and a must-own for fans of the Alien franchise” - Cinema Sentries “Rinzler does a fine job of showing why, exactly, Alien became one of cinema’s greatest creations” - The Film Stage"
