I have looked forward to the 30 year anniversiary of Alien 3, to me a underrated alien classic, a return to the gritty and dark atmosphere and making the xeno dangerous and a scary thing again. The assembly cut is easily one of my fave movies and I rank it above aliens actually. I saw it in hmm 2001? And liked it since then, but Ima fan of the creature and not of newt and hicks, they are support actors to the main actors: xeno and ripley. So I didnt bother at all that they got killed.
Unlike most fans of that time who prefered dark horse comics that made Newt and Hicks and Ripley a xenomorph killing team and wiping them out in their hundreds with ease... I prefer that alien 3 had the balls to kill them.
(On that note: was it ever explained where ripley went and how she came back in aliens book 2?)
Also I saw a lot of commercials about the upcoming alien 3 and games of it to all consoles of which the one on game boy have stood up the best and to me is easily the best version and did many new things for the genre and gaming many overlook now.
Looking forward to the anniversiary stuff avpgalaxy and hicks, hmm I hope you get a interview with David fincher which would be a shock, or with morse
True that we havent got much of alien 3 materials since the quadriology, but they gave us assembly cut and on the bluray fixed the sound, I dont think disney will make anything more than that now, I dont see them doing what we have asked and Fox was working on and according to SM, had a screening to some test audience where the Xenos effects was fixed and looked good, nor a version from Fincher. Afterall disney wont be releasing those on 4K but on streaming only so......
Nor did we get a book of behind the scenes like Alien and Aliens got.
I feel that's more Cameron dragging his feet on approving the 4K than anything.Well Disney wont be releasing it on Bluray anyway so no point in it.
