Warren Presents - Aliens II The Official Movie Magazine (1986)

Remember this one? A real blast from the past...

Mine has been falling apart for years.

Digital copy will be very handy.

I still have my battered copy from '86. An excellent magazine. It was here that I first discovered the ( may or may not be deleted - at the time) Burke cocoon scene.

The official collector's edition magazine of ALIEN - also by Warren - was great too, featuring a very interesting article on ALIEN secrets (deleted scenes) and a Harry Dean Stanton interview.

[FenGiddel]

Glad to be of service!


They have the ALIEN issue, too. Just not as clean a scan.

[Elmazalman]

The most interesting tidbit of information (for me) from the Harry Dean Stanton interview is: he describes extended footage of Brett searching for the cat and having some funny dialogue - cut for pacing and to maintain suspense.

[FenGiddel]

Agreed. I'd willingly sit through every bit of cut footage still in existence for ALIEN, just to see the sets and the actors' work. I LOVE the Corp!...er, I mean ALIEN! [/size]

I read that ALIEN magazine (and the novelization) constantly from '79-'83, when I finally got to see the actual film when a friend's family got a (gasp!) VHS player.  Though the magazine is long-since destroyed, I found another copy on eBay and it's one of my most treasured possessions. All I have to do is open it and I'm eight again.

It's really a great little mag. I first came across a second-hand copy in a comic book shop and promptly bought it - along with the two fold out poster magazines (for ALIEN).

I remember being blown away at the time by the back cover image of Lambert & the Alien.

I keep hoping the magazine will get a reprint for an ALIEN anniversary or something?

Oh yeah! My #1 fave production still. 

A reprint would be welcome... but would it be the same if it didn't come on that cheap, crappy paper?
