Alien (1979) 35mm film trailer scan (HD)

One of the greatest trailers ever made, scanned from an original 35mm reel!

If you want to re-use this elsewhere, please give me the basic courtesy of a credit. Thanks.

Love trailers that don't show anything, makes it exciting and interesting.

I don't know what's more unsettling, that siren (which is somewhat iconic, to be honest) or the quiet wind at the end of the teaser.

Back when movie trailers were works of art.

This particular one was only on the laserdisc in really crappy quality so its nice to have it in HD here.

The film grain and crackle. Just so timeless.

This is quite a rare trailer since this one doesn't show any footage from the movie. Good find there. ^^

You can appreciate Scott was one if the mos proliferent add directors back in the time

Would good to trim the MPAA slides and replace them with the BBFC A trailer advertising X film

There's no denying Alien's acclaimed pedigree but I confess I prefer the similarly seminal sequel.👍
