Fox Studios Baja


In early January 2005 I had the chance to visit the Fox Studios Baja near Rosarita, Mexico. Titanic, Master and Commander, and numerous other movies have been filmed there. This is a collection of photos I took of the Alien related content. The studio was a neat place to visit...very clean and not too many people there. Many props from a lot of Fox films!

The first picture is a shot from behind the entrance monument...it says "Foxploration". Notice the Fox Studio Baja sign in the background. The second shot is James Cameron's autograph in the cement inside the complex.

A soldier's backpack from Alien Resurrection was featured in a nice "box." Many of these boxes were on display around the centre, showcasing props from different FOX movies. This was in the hallway outside a mini-theatre inside the complex. The movie showed clips of the history of the FOX Baja Studios...mostly Titanic stuff.

Just inside the main 'tourist' unit of the complex, this huge Alien prop was on display. With the golden colour of the body I'd imagine it was from Alien 4...but it could just be for show only. However, the Alien egg did look authentic. These props were very large; to give an idea for scale I'm 6 foot 2 inches (1.88 metres) tall and the Alien towered over me.

Here are 4 pictures from a very cool chamber claiming to be from Alien Resurrection (ignore the pink bunny curtain in the background.) Inside was an even cooler mock-up of a Ripley clone (??) from the film. The detail on the Ripley clone was amazing. It is worth taking a closer look. :) One bad thing about the complex was that there was no Alien goodies to take home from the gift shop. The entire complex was very clean, and I'm sure with more movies being made there the studio will grow into a much larger 'museum' and working-studio than it is now.
