Great insight into the writing process of Alien. Good stories are truly a collaborative work. I have to think about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that was a flop in terms of screenwriting. And this is what happens when a single person writes a film. And even a book, as a matter of fact. I read the other day on Margaret Atwood’s Substack how novels are edited for professional writers. It’s a complex lengthy process that involves lots of people and lots of reshaping of the original story. Is anything truly only one person’s work?
