Woke up this morning: To find out my novelisation of @GreatDismal 's unproduced screenplay for Alien 3 won the Scribe Award for best adapted novel, announced Friday at the San Diego Comic Con.

Goodness gracious now we're getting a novel adaptation of Gibsons A3?! I mean it's an interesting take for a sequel but we already have the script, comic and audio drama. I guess Titan wanted in on the fun too lol.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jan 12, 2022, 03:59:17 PMYeah, I was wondering about this. I usually pick the Alien novels up on audiobook, and hadn't seen it available yet. Given that basically everything gets an audiobook these days, I thought that was odd.
They did an Audible version of the novel, but removed it from the shop for some reason. I got it before it was removed, but now Shevvie can't find it to get it and support just told him it'd been removed.

again:
this book adapts gibson's first draft.
the audible play adapts gibson's second draft.
first draft has hundreds of aliens.
second draft only has two aliens.
They're very different stories.

no.
And the audible play version with Biehn and Lance Henriksen adapts the 2nd draft by Gibson (fairly different stories).
