Early concept artwork for Ridley Scott's ''Alien'', the 1979 sci-fi horror film that became an instant legend, unique in its genre for winning an Academy Award for Visual Effects. Fantastic, large piece shows one of the crew members from the spaceship rappelling into the ''TEMPLE'' on planetoid LV-426, with another crew member on the ground, walking among the ruins and what looks to be the Alien eggs attached to the architectural columns. This Temple was likely from an earlier draft of the script, and would ultimately become the Derelict Spaceship showing the fossilized Space Jockey character. At lower right, artwork is signed ''Scotty'', likely by Elliot Scott, uncredited on ''Alien'', but who served as Production Designer for two of the Indiana Jones films. At upper left is written ''Rock Roof 22' High'', with an arrow pointing to the top. Artwork is rendered in pen and marker, measuring 17'' x 10.25'' on thin drawing paper. Light creasing to right edge, otherwise near fine condition. From the collection of ''Alien'' executive Peter Beale.
