QuoteI hate actors who think they're above the films they've starred in.
I didn't get that impression at all. She knew about her character but knew little of the other films in the series. I can't imagine most of the other actors did either. And I'm sure it's pretty similar with previous Alien and Predator films and will continue to be so. Just because someone is in one of these flicks doesn't mean they know all the ins and outs of the universe their character inhabits.
QuoteI've read one Draft of the Alien Rez script and it was more action packed. I remember reading somewhere on the net that most of the actin sequences were being cut as you said while being written because of the budget i.e the underwater scene taking much of it having to built the whole underwater set from scratch. But this is going of an article from the net
Earlier drafts had the jungle sequence where they were on a jeep hooning through a massive hydroponic garden of Sweet Mary Jane, being attacked by Aliens. And there was another sequence where they first encounter Ripley and she has a prolonged punch up with an Alien. Even while they were shooting Weaver and Ryder had to go 'plead' with Bill Mechanic to keep things like the Viper Pit, while Mechanic was complaining Alien3 didn't make much money. Weaver response was that it had a good worldwide box office. And they were shown the Titanic trailer which looked like it cost more than Resurrection's entire budget.
Probably did come to think of it...
