Speaking to MTV, Neville Page - who will design the special effects in next year's Prometheus - talks about his approach to the design, and is also asked about how much CGI will be used in the film, comparing it to the recently released Green Lantern (in which he designed the costumes for Hal Jordan and the rest of the GL Corp members).


On his overall approach to the aliens' design...

My approach is nervous. I approach Ridley with great nervous energy because it is such an undertaking. [Alien] was the movie that inspired everything for me, not just creature design, but filmmaking in general. It is a huge undertaking to try and take it to the next level; to make Ridley proud, to make [H.R.] Giger proud, there's a lot involved with that.


On how much CGI will be used...

I don't know, I can only asume that it's going to be like with [Green Lantern]. [We'll] use whatever it takes to make it look as good as it needs to look.
