As Alien fans, we’ve become used to change. Different directors; different scripts; different planets; different eras; different timelines; even different film studios. With everything so constantly in flux, it’s easy to forget that Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, Jr. have been there since nearly the very beginning. From their pioneering work on Aliens, to the foundation of the legendary Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc., Gillis and Woodruff have been at the vanguard of the effects industry for more than three decades.
In this exclusive, unprecedented interview, our very own JM Prater visited Gillis and Woodruff at Studio ADI in Hollywood for a sit-down conversation about their love for the Alien Saga, their relationships with the fans, and much, much more.

To defend Prometheus and covenant , just because David is the focus doesn’t mean it should be a Blade runner movie , androids have a huge part in the franchise just think where else they could be earth in the Alien franchise is basically blade runner the two words feel connected but I defend the presence of David , when people think of Androids in The Alien series they think of Bishop , I think of Ash his sinister motives he is linked to the company Literally ........... tangent over This episode was great . I’m British My favourite movie Is ALIEN but I would never say ADI ruined the Alien the suits they made are awesome Woodruff’s suit performances where awesome but the design is what I didn’t like but it fits the context of the movie

*___________________________________* (please send oxygen tank & mask to revive!) - Seriously though, fantastic interview and what a wonderful treat for all of us (not to mention you for getting to talk with these guys! (Who, by the way, I'd like to just mention that they've been very integral in opening the door to more women who are trying to work in the fields of creature design/effects & related art fields! Sorry - I just feel it's important to mention that given my personal projects lolol) It's great to truly hear/get a the "behind the curtain look", as it were, about Alien 3 & other projects! Their road to ADI & their work & mentorship from the late, great Stan Winston! Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful podcast! Studio ADI is truly a wonderfully talented, unique, and forward thinking Creature Effects shop! Can't wait to see what happens next on the road, in this ever evolving & talented studio filled with extremely talented people! Lady Anne ^^ö^^ (Jessica M.
