Bet You Didn’t Know These Facts About The “Alien” Films

Ripley Was Almost Cut From Alien 3

Alien 3 was almost a Hicks/Bishop film, not even featuring Ripley. William Gibson wrote a very early script treatment for the film, which was initially intended as a two-parter, to be shot back-to-back. As Sigourney Weaver’s involvement was in question, the main focus of this script was Hicks and Bishop. Many consider this to be a much superior script. The only carry-over from this original script, however, is the barcodes on the back of the convicts’ necks.
