I just saw ALIEN 3: THE ASSEMBLY CUT which added another 35 minutes. OMFG it makes so much more sense even though I saw the film 6 times when it came out back in 1992. I felt I was the only person who liked it because I'm a huge fan of Sigourney Weaver.
Director, David Fincher was a young & gifted filmmaker who came into a plagued production. There was no finished screenplay & one director was already replaced. 20th CENTURY FOX cut the film to shreds & released Fincher. He wanted nothing to do with the film afterward & didn't take part in "the making of..." documentary.
Ridley Scott (ALIEN 1979) & James Cameron (ALIENS 1986) wanted to come back to the series. FOX then started ALIEN vs. PREDATOR which killed a fascinating Sci-Fi film series. It's just too bad for Fincher because he added an interesting take on the whole Alien idea. The underground setting & camera work was very good.
Director, Neil Blomkamp has revived ALIEN & Sigourney Weaver has come on board for a new production. Below is the documentary on "The Making of ALIEN 3."
