Alien 3

This is the unused William Gibson screenplay for Alien 3. This was contracted to be written and then the Screenwriter's Guild strike happened. Many things contributed to this not being used but that can be read in the preface. What is for the reader here? This is the true adaptation of the events of Aliens, including what happened with the survivors and the Aliens' extension deeper into the lives of humanity. Jonnie Christmas did the art here and it is very good. The words are of course Gibson's first screenplay attempt and as it is allowed for a non-Guild writer to submit one single screenplay before being considered only to a Guild member, this one is a good one. I think anyone who enjoys the movies should read this to see another take on Alien 3 and what it could have been. I love the movie and yet I would have like to see this version put on screen as well.

Agreed. It's definitely interesting to have a glimpse of what "could have been." Between this, the audio drama, and the novelization, it's so cool that we've gotten so many "takes" on this alternate version.
