SURFACE SUIT:
------------

The suit was designed by Jean (Moebius) Giraud who worked
on the film only for a few days, his design can be seen
in the final production.
Michael Seymour: "I responded to Moebius's drawings with the
thought that they looked liked medieval japanese armor.
John Molo took that idea and developed it in an incredible
way. I mean, they're space suits, but they're also very
Gothic, with very rich surface texture."
