Ridley Scott & Yaphet Kotto on ALIEN: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT (2003) | TIFF REWIND

"If we hadn't had a really interesting beast, then you'd have had half a movie." Watch director Ridley Scott and actor Yaphet Kotto’s full Q&A from a screening of ALIEN: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT at TIFF ‘03. They get into it all: creature design, the “shaky camera” era, and why Scott rejects the reading of Ripley as a mother/martyr figure. Plus: a dig at STAR TREK, naturally.
