While James Cameron's Aliens had a fairly straight forward narrative development, with the details from his treatment to finished script remaining largely consistent – with some interesting could-have-beens – the storynotes that Walter Hill and David Giler had handed the writer/director were a fair bit different!...
And video version
A nice read. Well done.
How the major Hollywood studio system works in getting films produced is interesting in terms of the Alien franchise.
The topic of how the studios work for any film can be interesting to some movie nerds (like me)
There is a natural conflict between the writer, the producer and the film studio executives.
A movie which describes this is "The Player"; from 1992 starring Tim Robbins.

PS. Because you embedded a YouTube video in your comment, I was able to find the AVPGalaxy YouTube channel.

I shall be eternally grateful to Alan Ladd Jr. He greenlit Alien and Star Wars, and the production company he formed after he left Fox was behind Blade Runner. He was also the one who suggested that Ripley should be a woman, which led to Sigourney getting the role. He was a visionary.
That's something I think about sporadically. Someone should interview him about these things specifically or do a doc on him.
