Cannabis plants from the Nimbin area are set to be featured in the latest Alien film being directed by Ridley Scott.
The plants, which have been delivered to Fox Studios in Sydney, are to be used as props in Alien 4: The Covenant.
The film is a sequel to the 2012 film Prometheus, and will take place roughly ten years later.
