On December 22, according to foreign media reports, David Giller, the producer of the "Alien" series of films, died at his home in Bangkok.
David Giller is a well-known Hollywood producer and screenwriter who participated in the entire production of "Alien". David Giller, who has been recuperating at his home in Bangkok in recent years, died on December 19 at the age of 77 due to cancer.
Walter Hill and David Giller co-served as producers of Alien, and the two had a deep relationship. He posted a tribute to the death of his friend: "If you know David, you will know how different he is, his personality is difficult to describe, I am very honored to work with him, but more importantly, I have maintained a close friendship with him for almost fifty years."
David Giller entered Hollywood as a screenwriter, and his screenplays such as "The Money-Grabbing Couple" and "Parallax" were well received. In 1979, he was a producer for the thriller Alien, which he was a producer of, and became a major Filmmaker in Hollywood. He then not only continued to serve as a producer for the Alien series of films, but also as a co-writer in Alien 2 and 3.
David Giller and Walter Hill were discerning, and they saw the script for Alien and decided to prepare for filming, but they didn't find a suitable director. Finally, the British director Ridley Scott, who was still a newcomer, boldly used it, which led to the world-famous "Alien", which created a global box office myth of six hundred million at that time.
The Alien series of films is still regarded as a classic by many fans, and its success is inseparable from the efforts of the staff behind the scenes. I hope that the deceased will rest in peace, David Giller will go all the way, and the works he left behind will shine forever.
