So there is a segment based on a story by Dan O'Bannon, about the crew of a B-17 whose crew turn into zombies. It's short, it's fun, and it's Alien. I remember hearing that Alien was once supposed to be set in WWII, so I guess this was somehow the starting point.
Well, the starting point was to my recollection when Jodorowsky's Dune-Project fell through and O'Bannon which had been on board as a writer suffered a nervous breakdown. The details schould be on Wiki, if you're interested (Salvador Dalí was cast as Emperor Shaddam IV. for one million a day or something) it's really an interesting story.
So then the good Dan wrote Space Beast which in turn fathered Alien. I still kind of wonder, if Ridley Scott's Alien Prequel will finally pick up the WWII roots of the material, after all, Ridley has yet to do a WWII project, does he?
