InAlienable
InAlienable is a 2008 science fiction film with horror and comic elements, written and produced by Walter Koenig, and directed by Robert Dyke. It was the first collaboration of Koenig and Dyke since their 1989 production of Moontrap. Koenig said that the story really involves that relationship between the human being and the alien. At first, its assumed that the alien is a parasite growing in a host, but because it has some of the human DNA, its significantly more than that. Even though it comes from another world, its a part of our world. Really, its a love story.
At first horrified by the growth within him, Eric Norris comes to love the child that he gives birth to and names Benjamin. When a court trial begins to take Benjamin away from him, all sorts of arguments are raised about the real meaning of the word alien. A disturbed man, Emil Andrew Koenig, Walter Koenigs son, brings a gun into the courtroom and shoots Benjamin, to the loss of all concerned.The screenplay was written by Walter Koenig of the original Star Trek series. He told Starburst magazine that he was watching the 2000 World Series with friends, one of whom had appeared in The Blob. We proceeded to have other conversations along the way about making a film that, at least initially, began the same way as The Blob, with something landing from outer space. And I really took it from there. He told interviewer Chris Wood who identifies the friend as Anthony Franke, I wanted to examine the intensity of familial bonding. That was one thing. I also wanted to explore the concept of civil and human rights. But the actual event that sat me down at the computer was when two friends of mine who didnt know each other joined me to watch the New York Yankees play in the World Series back in 2001. My friend Tony Franke had been in the original film of The Blob 1958 and Sky Conway had always been a big fan of the movie. Inspired by Tonys stories, Sky confessed to always wanting to shoot a film about a meteor landing with an alien presence aboard. I holed myself up in my room and took it from there. ........
