What an absolutely glorious BTS photo of the USCSS Nostromo. The starkness of the black and white really helps the detail stand out and shows the level of detail and attention that went into building it.

I've always said that ALIEN was a meeting of artists who were all at the top of their game.

Happy Birthday today to the great character actor David Bowditch Morse, born on October 11, 1953, in Beverly, Massachusetts! Fave films/TV projects include The Crossing Guard, The Indian Runner, The Green Mile and the second season of "True Detective" (he only appeared in a few eps). More: alt text

The Crossing Guard (1995)

A family reunion of sorts. This was the second film directed by Sean Penn that starred David Morse and featured Sean Penn's family members.

Penn's directorial debut, The Indian Runner, also starred Morse, as well as his brother, Chris Penn. For The Crossing Guard, Penn cast his then-wife Robin Wright and his ex-wife Anjelica Huston.

The culmination of a rivalry. Jack Nicholson, who plays "Freddy Gale," and David Morse, who plays "John Booth," are on-screen rivals throughout the film.

To add to the authenticity of their fraught relationship, the two actors decided not to meet until their characters finally confronted each other on camera.

The Indian Runner (1991)

Probably my favorite project with David Morse. Sean Penn drew inspiration for his directorial debut from Bruce Springsteen's 1982 song "Highway Patrolman," off his album 'Nebraska.'

The film stars David Morse as a Nebraska sheriff and Viggo Mortensen as his troubled, Vietnam veteran brother.

David Morse has stated that The Indian Runner is one of his favorite films he has ever worked on. The film's critical reception was positive, with Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praising the relationship between the two brothers.

The Green Mile (1999)

During filming, a small cannon was used to shoot chocolate syrup at David Morse for a scene. He is allergic to chocolate and was not amused by the incident, which resulted in the syrup going up his nose, in his eyes, and in his mouth.

A "most faithful" adaptation: Author Stephen King, who wrote the novel on which the film was based, called The Green Mile the "single most faithful adaptation of his work."

The film's director, Frank Darabont, has a habit of using the same actors in his Stephen King adaptations. Morse is one of several actors who appeared in both The Green Mile and Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption, though his scene in The Shawshank Redemption was cut.

Michael Clarke Duncan, who plays John Coffey, was originally cast to play a smaller role in the film. However, after meeting with Darabont, Duncan was offered the lead role of "John Coffey," and the rest is history.

"True Detective" (Season Two, 2015)

Unlike the first season of "True Detective," which was directed entirely by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the second season was directed by several people. Justin Lin directed the first two episodes, and Daniel Sackheim and Nic Pizzolatto directed the rest.

Inspired by a real, corrupt city. The city of Vinci, where the season is set, is based on the real California city of Vernon, a city with a history of political corruption.

In fact, the death of a character in the series is inspired by the death of a real Vernon city administrator.

The season was a critical failure, with many critics citing the overly convoluted plot and the lack of a cohesive narrative. However, some critics, upon rewatching the season, found the convoluted plot to be a purposeful reflection of the confusing landscape of Los Angeles.

David Morse had a recurring role in season two as "Eliot Bezzerides," the father of "Detective Ani Bezzerides," played by Rachel McAdams. Morse's character was an important part of the season's storyline, as his past actions have a direct impact on the season's plot.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird because it “makes people uncomfortable.”

That’s the point!

Books that expose racism and injustice SHOULD make you squirm. Silencing truth is cowardice.
Read what they fear.📚

Some superb model work for ALIENS here - that atmosphere processor is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, and the Queen miniature is a lot smaller!
