Production stalled for three weeks while the studio and producers conducted a search for a new director. "They went through a whole list of possible directors. We'd hear names like Tobe Hooper, Roman Polanski, and I was like: 'Yes! Get Roman Polanski!' Finally, we heard they'd hired John Frankenheimer. I thought, 'John Frankenheimer? The guy who did Manchurian Candidate with Frank Sinatra in the 1960s?' He was well into his 60s by this time, but he turned out to be a great guy. He took over this movie, fully realizing what he was walking into, which was a film where somebody else had already filmed scenes, had already designed and built sets, had already cast all the roles and had already signed off on the creature designs."
