| The Mordor Moon Hopper |
a) Although
one doesn't wish to make the assumption that David Lynch took
inspiration form HR Giger and has acted as an artist with his own
original ideas, while indeed the creator of the final creature itself
Carlo Rambaldi would have been quite familiar with Giger's work having
worked with him and created something that had evolved slightly away
from David Lynch's initial design, one might not be able to help look at
the 3rd Stage Guild Navigator from his movie Dune with its bloated face
blowing beams of energy and think about Mordor V, and this creature
floats around a giant vaulted chamber that looks like a more structured
version of the place in Giger's painting. Here the horns at the top of
Giger's work would have been put underneath as smallish tusks.
