Yeah, I really enjoyed reading through and researching the Alien 3 scripts when I did the pages for them on Xenopedia. Although Eric Red's was hard going... :P

I'm not a massive fan of doing the break-downs. I just find them a little dull to write. It quickly becomes very he said, she said. They're important to have though - not everyone wants to read a script.

They should collect all of the copies if them, the master copy, Paul Anderson, the Strauss Bros, pile it up and set it a blaze. Burn it all out of the public's memory and do the Briggs Script like they should have in the first place. Problems solved.

I went and finally read this script after listening to the podcast. I agree that it's pretty good, especially for a first draft that was written very quickly. It's a shame that two pages are missing, and that the later drafts aren't out there to read. It's also a hell of a lot better than his Freddy vs Jason script. :laugh:

What 2 pages? There were 2 pages the wrong way round but I don't think the PDF we've got was missing any.

He only did a single draft after this one. I really really really want to read that. I hope it surfaces eventually. From what I've heard of it it sounded like it had some really interested sequences.

The one that's floating around on the net as a text file has two pages missing.

Yeah, I ran into the pages the wrong way round and fixed it. The missing pages are 70 and 84, in my scan.

Corporal Hicks

Yep, you're right. I forgot about that!

KiramidHead

I've run into missing pages before when reading scripts. Sometimes, like this one, you don't miss a whole lot. In others, you miss how a certain scene resolves and go "what the fu- oh, it's the missing page."

That would've been insane :laugh:

KiramidHead

So it would have been about Arnold saving Goleefornya. I can dig it, especially since was back before Emmerich started sucking.

Whiskeybrewer

That would have been pretty interesting lol

I actually wanna watch Moon44 now lol

You know, I did actually forget to mention.  :'( Your credit was in the image captions in the article, not the text and I forgot for the video. Sorry, brother. I'll add it to the video description.


Also, here's an interesting one that Peter Briggs dropped on Facebook that I hadn't heard before.

QuoteThere WAS a treatment (I think that was John Davis produced?), which was set in the snow in somewhere like the Himalayas, if I recall. I might be wrong, but I thought that was Jim and John Thomas who did that?
