"Dark Star" was written and directed by Dan O'Bannon and John Carpenter,
not necessarily respectively.  O'Bannon claims some directorial credit, 
but Carpenter minimizes this.  O'Bannon did not direct "Alien," he developed
the screenplay for it.  Ridley Scott (who's British and worked on commercials
and a pretentious Conrad adaptation previously) directed "Alien."
