Plans for Turkey
When the silo and the derelict were still perceived
as separate Scott had planned at stage one to film part of Turkey where
people lived in large pyramid structures, but this didn't cut to budget
and keep everything safe in the studio. Was he talking about the strange mounds of Cappadocia
? Or perhaps the cone dwellings of Harran?
- Ridley: I'd seen looking at some spots for another picture that would have been beautiful for Alien , particularly in Turkey where there are these pyramid like dwellings - huge, mountainous structures which cover hundreds of square miles. Absolutely extraordinary. But it was a practical budget decision not to go away on location, so we just did what we could in the studio. (Cinefex 1, p64, 1st paragraph (also repeated in Alien: The Archive, p40, apart from the last sentence)
