BSG Writers on Aliens: Colonial Marines

Shacknews has word
from a yet-unpublished interview with Randy Pitchford, where the Gearbox
president reveals that writers from Battlestar Galactica as well as folks who
worked on the Aliens movies are contributing to Aliens: Colonial Marines:
One thing that's cool is some of the people we've been able to work with
to help us [on Aliens]. The guys that write the Battlestar Galactica series,
Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, they wrote our script. They're amazing guys.
They gave us a lot, too. We could make a whole season of TV with the stuff they
gave us. [laughs] We profited from the writer's strike, let's just put it that
way. We talked with a lot of people, but those guys are so good.

And then a lot of the concept guys that helped make the movies. Like [Aliens
concept artist] Syd Mead, that guy walks on water. And to be able to go to his
studio, his house, and then have him draw a bunch of stuff. "Here's when I
designed the Sulaco back when we made the first movie. Here's the original
artwork. You want a copy, Brian?" And Brian's like, "Yes."
