Not even sure what to say about this one other than it's a mess from start to finish. It feels pretty transparently like an attempt to capitalise on the success and cultural legacy of Quest for Fire five years earlier, but Michael Chapman is no Jean-Jacques Annaud. It's clunky, misogynistic, and the worst thing cinema can be - boring. 2/10.

Artwork by H.R. Giger for The Tourist, one of the more infamous unmade scripts to come out of the 80′s, one about aliens among us in dirty, New Wave-era New York. The story behind this from H.R. Giger’s official website.

There's a new interview with Clair Noto about her time working on comics in the 70s at Marvel, including how Roy Thomas has attempted to minimize her credit, her relationship with Steve Gerber, and lots of illuminating stuff about her long career as a screenwriter.

A fanfiction based on the never-made movie “The Tourist” (famous for having concept art by H. R. Giger) got a “cease and desist” from the original screenwriter and Hollywood because they apparently couldn’t grasp the concept of fan fiction and writting for free.
