Unused Alien Film Pitch

[Corporal Hicks]

Peter Briggs (writer of the first AvP film script) just shared this anecdote on Facebook:

Some (gosh) 20 years ago, a fellow writer (now director, with several critically lauded films with A-list talent under his belt) earnestly told me his pitch for an Alien movie. He was being quite serious, and said that it involved Aliens and time travel and mutating dinosaurs. He genuinely thought this was a good idea, and couldn't understand my point of view that he didn't have a clue about what makes an Alien movie work.

I had a hilarious mental image of what my friend's "vision" would look like. Today I found this. Yep. Oh, the hilarity.

I think the main trick to take into consideration here is "Aliens and time travel and mutating dinosaurs."

It might make for a fun comic or vidya gaem; but as a serious movie concept goes, it's more than just a little cheesy.

Maybe when he said Alien he meant Predator? Then such a plot could work, yea, for reals-zs.
