David Fincher talks Alien 3 (briefly) in this month's issue of Empire Magazine

My opinion is that the Engineers are an unforgivably stupid idea.

I think Flynn mentions it in Dissecting Aliens because I remember it.

I recall it as well - must be from that book too.  But I've never come across in any scripts, or even treatments to that effect.

Who could have guessed loaders were an ideal countermeasure to the perfect organism?

There's no script with multiple Queens fighting loaders. Maybe some people had ideas like that but none were written.

As stupid as it sounds, it was definitely in the conversation.
I'm not sure if it's in the making of Alien 3 or if I read it in a report about it, but it was on the table.
Maybe just as an idea, but it came from someone who was involved in the project in some way, even if only as a consultant or screenwriter.
This hollow idea alone is absolutely crazy and would have seemed incredibly ridiculous.
