Star Beast: Alien Grindhoused - a fanedit

[TheGreenSolution]

I like the gringhouse movies and this an Alien one looks keen. Th emusic is before my time, but it looks like old movie from the 70s

[Gieferg]

Well, technically it is "old movie from 70s"

Here's a little tease, a screenshot from the alternate ending:


Also, I've just invented whole new subplot for this version 

EDIT:

Here's, a little clip:

I see now!    It is like "noir"? It has a filter taht makes it look old and dirty. That fits Alien.

[Gieferg]

"noir" is something else (also "retro" but not the same thing), but yeah, grindhouse should look old and dirty. Also, this means that it's more like a B-movie, more campy & not that serious. And that is exactly the goal here.

PS. and a poster:

Almost finished. Running time is 110 mins, over 90% of the movie is re-scored with music by...

Spoiler

I've just done end credits for this version with Black & white photos put underneath the credits, now all I need to do is rebuilding some missing sfx.
I've used that alternate audio from 20th anniversary DVD for several scenes, thanks guys for pointing that out, it was quite useful.

Would like to check this out when finished

[Gieferg]

No problem

[Corporal Hicks]

Certainly curious to see myself too.

[Gieferg]

During rebuilding audio I've got a new idea -  so I added couple of dialogue lines for Ripley taken from different movies with Sigourney Weaver :>
Also, couple of new shots created for the ending based on Alien:Isolation videos. When a layer of heavy grain is put on top of them, they look quite cinematic.

Any volunteers to be current workprint's test audience?

[Gieferg]

Anyone know where can I find it motion tracker sound from Alien (not Aliens), or at least some sound close to it? (Isolation motion tracker sound isn't close enough).
I couldn't get clean version from the movie audio (there's always music in the background).

[rijir]

This is a long shot but could that sound effect appear in a menu screen of one of the many dvd or Blu-ray releases?

[Gieferg]

I've found something similar enough on blu-ray menu, thanks for that advice

Anyone can tell what's the source of the shot from 2:20 here:

is it present on Anthology set?

Hi Gieferg.  Yes, that bit of footage is present on the Alien Anthology set.  It's featured on one of the Alien enhancement pods.  The 'James Cameron Dissects Alien' one
