“Our performance of Alien really shows you can do so much with so little and as long as there is a passion there to do these things, they are possible,” art director Steven Defendini said in an interview with Buzzfeed News. “We don’t have really any budget — we recycle everything, everything is repurposed and recycled 10 times over until we get the look we need,”

Released in 1979, Alien was led by Academy Award-nominated actress Sigourney Weaver. Her performance as the fearless and badass Ellen Ripley launched her into stardom and solidified her as a pop culture icon. The film franchise consists of eight movies which have grossed over $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office.
