Eric Red's was also 100% based on ideas of Giler and Hill.
He hated writing it.
Giler and Hill were really just throwing darts at a wall to see what stuck.
And then they chose... Vincent Ward.
An Alien 3 behind the scenes biopic would feel like a Seinfeld episode.

I absolutely hate the first draft, and the second is probably my favourite out of all of them.
To its credit, that first draft doesn't waste time with rote characterization on its first few pages. the UPP moving silently through the Sulaco would work better on a visual level. Things do move a lot faster there.
(The introduction of Tully and Jackson is also better without that stupid ass sex scene.)
I do wonder if Gill/Hiller insisted on a sex scene because Eric Red's also has... that one...
