>Next came a potential second collaboration with Alien director Ridley Scott – a sci-fi thriller called Dead Reckoning. A project that coalesced around the year 1988 [...]. Set in a future Los Angeles on the brink of ecological collapse, it was about a genetically-engineered monster causing havoc on a moving train. The film never happened, though some of Giger’s ideas wound up in 1995’s Species, including an oddly out-of-place nightmare sequence in which a young Michelle Williams is glimpsed running from a bio-mechanical ghost train. That came straight from Giger’s work on Dead Reckoning, and Giger reportedly sank $100,000 of his own money into making the killer train in his studio.
