The complete change to the Alien's biology is as wtf as the magic egg.And that first draft was just ridiculous. It's like a kid who's just seen Aliens and just writes moar of everything without injecting any actual finesse.
Local TroubleFeb 12, 2019, 07:03:28 PM Reply #899 on: Feb 12, 2019, 07:03:28 PM Quote Yeah, I'm not as fond of the first draft. However, given the visual flare of Fincher's Alien 3, just imagine how his version of the Gibson script could have looked.
