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 the exterior of the spaceship ''Nostromo'' (called the ''LEVIATHAN'' on the artwork, the working title of the spaceship during pre-production). Almost a character in its own right, with Ripley and her crew having to navigate its corridors to evade the Alien creature, the spaceship here is shown grounded on land against a black sky. At lower right, artwork is dated 10 March 1977 and signed ''Scotty'', likely by Elliot Scott, uncredited on ''Alien'', but who served as Production Designer for two of the Indiana Jones films. Artwork is rendered in pen and marker, measuring 19'' x 9.5'' on thin construction paper. Very light creasing, overall near fine condition. From the collection of former 20th Century Fox executive Peter Beale, whose COA accompanies the lot.
