We have just uploaded the 88th episode of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast (right-click and save as to download)! In our latest podcast episode regular hosts Corporal Hicks, RidgeTop and Xenomorphine are joined by community guest Ultramorph to dig into and discuss Dark Horse Comics’ recent adaptation of William Gibson’s Alien 3.
While we’ve previously discussed Gibson’s first draft, we’ve never done an episode on Gibson’s second (which this series is based on) so there’s a lot of talk about the story in general as well as how faithful the comic is to it. We also talk about the different variants of the Alien, how faithful we feel any future adaptations should be to the original scripts or if they should be “fixed” and plenty more!

Giantism is a helluva drug. Closest thing we'll ever get to a dinosaur killing humans.
I also love Cassowaries, those guys can be chill or incredibly aggro.
Moa were the Godzilla of kiwis (could be a metre and half taller than the Australian Prehistoric Murder Bird). Haast's Eagle ate moa.
That's something we keep in the Recess Thread.
Not much anymore. Moa were wiped out long ago, as were the eagles that preyed upon them.
Who are we to judge?
Ward is from New Zealand, maybe they have similar deadly wildlife.
Why would someone abduct a toilet?
But that's because we turn into a jungle for like 7 months out of the year.
The equivalent to opening a toilet lid just to see a multitude of dangerous spiders come scurrying out from underneath it.
Or a snake finding itself cozy inside of it without you realizing. Ward must've done the writers version of method acting by taking a trip to Australia and experience day-to-day terror before writing his script.

That wasn't good enough.
Ward's Alien 3 will do for bathrooms what jaws did for the sea.
Watch Deep Rising.
Even an audio drama would do.
They'll never complain about prison meals again
I enjoyed this adaptation pretty much. It was obvious that Gibson's draft requires some polish but overall i think it had big potential to be a great movie. And it was good to see Hicks and Bishop again.
I hope it had financial success so DH will be interested to do more. I'd love to see Ward script's adaptation.
Reds was just...shite.
To be fair, many of them didn't really get past the first pass.
To be honest, the only one I've read is the David Twohy one.
Alien 3 is better than that script, and the eventual movie that came of it: The Chronicles of Riddick. Btw, how did Fox not sue him for plagiarism? They were the ones who paid him to write it, they were the ones who owned it.
but at the end of the day so happy with the film we got. I know I say it on the regular but I love ALIEN³.
But this is also just a first draft sript by one guy. In hollywood there are usually up to 20 people involved with rewrites and polishing of dialogues. Maye the finished film would have been much different from this script. But I'm complete ok with that movie we got. It is a very terrifying film that makes you feel uncomfortable and it did a finish line for that trilogy.
