history
Founded Brandywine Productions 1969 by the filmmakers Walter Hill , David Giler and Gordon Carroll .
Her first film, the drama Liebende Frauen , received numerous awards. Among other things, Glenda Jackson was awarded the Oscar for best female leading role ; he was nominated for three more Oscars, including best director . In 1976, the comedy The Student Body followed , directed by Gus Trikonis.
Then the three filmmakers were offered the draft script for Alien by Dan O'Bannon , which they revised heavily. Thanks to the popularity of science fiction through the success of Star Wars , a partner was quickly found in 20th Century Fox . Hill was initially supposed to direct, but declined due to his lack of experience with special effects. Ultimately, the hitherto unknown Ridley Scott took over the direction.
Since then, the company has produced all parts of the Alien film series and its offshoots such as Alien vs. Predator and Prometheus - Dark Signs .
