Didn't Emmerich's treatment supposedly get adapted into the brawler game? :laugh:

An old article about the creation of that game said that Capcom based their story on some treatment that Fox was considering at the time...

(here it is:)
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/a-brief-and-bloody-history-of-aliens-videogames-117257.phtml

Arnold did visit the set of Emmerich's Universal Soldier at the time.. and Dutch is indeed featured in that Capcom game.. so... maybe....

The "story" of that game.. btw:

QuoteCalifornia has been overrun by the Aliens, and the cybernetically-enhanced Major Dutch Schaefer and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa of the United States Colonial Marine Corps have been abandoned by their superiors and are cornered by a swarm of the Alien drones. Before they can be killed, a pair of the Predators appear and destroy the Aliens. The Predators offer an alliance with the two humans in order to stop the Alien infestation.

:laugh:

This does feel like the kind of goofy bullshit that Emmerich loves, tbh.

Quote from: skhellter on Nov 29, 2020, 01:18:01 PMI'd also like to get my hands on Emmerich's avp treatment.  :laugh:

As far as I'm aware, Emmerich was just attached to direct Briggs' script.

It was something I mentioned in my article, but they were on about throwing Briggs' script out and starting from scratch themselves. Though it doesn't seem like they got as far as actually getting any treatment done. I think the Dorman artwork was done for them.

I'm only joshing, all I did was give you a page number :laugh:

Also, here's an interesting one that Peter Briggs dropped on Facebook that I hadn't heard before.

QuoteThere WAS a treatment (I think that was John Davis produced?), which was set in the snow in somewhere like the Himalayas, if I recall. I might be wrong, but I thought that was Jim and John Thomas who did that?

Video of The Hunt Begins article, with artwork from Declan Loftus visualizing that zero-G scene from the second draft.

So it would have been about Arnold saving Goleefornya. I can dig it, especially since was back before Emmerich started sucking.

Just some speculation that I ran across about Emmerich and Devlin's possible outline.

I've run into missing pages before when reading scripts. Sometimes, like this one, you don't miss a whole lot. In others, you miss how a certain scene resolves and go "what the fu- oh, it's the missing page."
