David Giler
David Giler (July 23, 1943 – December 19, 2020) was an American filmmaker who has been active in the motion picture industry since the early 1960s. He started his career as a writer, providing scripts for television programs such as Kraft Suspense Theatre and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. He then moved to screenplays in the 70's, helping to write films such as The Parallax View and the original version of Fun With Dick and Jane. He produced his first film in 1970, the critically reviled Myra Breckinridge, an adaptation of Gore Vidal's controversial novel (he also co-wrote the film with director Michael Sarne). He helped Walter Hill produce the legendary horror thriller Alien in 1979, and it is for this film that he is probably best remembered. He and Hill became embroiled in a much-publicized behind-the-scenes fight with Alien's original writer, Dan O'Bannon, over who was to receive screenplay credit. Giler and Hill claim that they completely rewrote the script from top to bottom, and therefore they wanted to relegate O'Bannon to a "story by" credit only. O'Bannon claims that they did little more than change the names of the characters and dialogue, and felt that the two were trying to bully him out of the more prestigious screenplay credit. As evidenced by the interviews on the supplemental DVD features, the two parties were extremely antagonistic when it comes to this topic (O'Bannon has since died), though O'Bannon was the only one to receive credit for the screenplay in the final film. The various drafts can be found online, allowing audiences to decide for themselves. Giler worked with Hill on several more projects, including the continuation of the Alien franchise. The two were responsible for the final and very controversial rewrite of the Alien 3 story which killed off the Bishop, Hicks and Newt characters from Aliens. Some of the films that he wrote during this period include The Money Pit, Southern Comfort, and an uncredited rewrite for Beverly Hills Cop II. He also directed one film, The Black Bird (1975).

大卫·吉勒(David Giler,1943 年 7 月 23 日 - 2020 年 12 月 19 日)是一位美国电影制片人,自 1960 年代初以来一直活跃在电影行业。 他的职业生涯始于作家,为《卡夫悬疑剧院》和《来自U.N.C.L.E.的男人》等电视节目提供剧本。然后,他在 70 年代转向剧本,帮助编写了《视差视图》和《迪克和简的乐趣》等电影。他于 1970 年制作了他的第一部电影,即备受批评的 Myra Breckinridge,该片改编自戈尔·维达尔 (Gore Vidal) 备受争议的小说(他还与导演迈克尔·萨恩 (Michael Sarne) 共同编剧了这部电影)。1979 年,他帮助沃尔特·希尔制作了传奇的恐怖惊悚片《异形》,而他最被人记住的可能是这部电影。他和希尔卷入了与《异形》原作者丹·奥班农(Dan O'Bannon)的幕后斗争,争夺谁将获得剧本荣誉。吉勒和希尔声称他们从上到下完全重写了剧本,因此他们想把奥班农降级为一个“故事”的功劳。奥班农声称,他们所做的只是改变了角色的名字和对话,并认为两人试图欺负他,因为他的剧本信誉更高。正如补充DVD功能的采访所证明的那样,双方在这个话题上非常对立(奥班农已经去世),尽管奥班农是唯一一个在最后一部电影中因剧本而获得荣誉的人。各种草稿可以在网上找到,让观众自己决定。 吉勒与希尔合作了几个项目,包括《异形》系列的延续。两人负责对《异形 3》故事进行最终且极具争议的重写,该故事杀死了《异形》中的主教、希克斯和纽特角色。在此期间,他创作的一些电影包括《钱坑》、《南方舒适》和《比佛利山庄警察 II》的未署名改写。 他还执导了一部电影《黑鸟》(1975)。
