deel 3 had echt zo fantastisch kunnen zijn maar die is in de ontwikkelfase helemaal uitgekleed en ontdaan van alle originele ideeen. In een van de originele scripts ging het niet om een afgezaagde gevangenis planeet maar om een (hele) kleine planetoide, helemaal van binnen uitgehold en met houten constructies volgebouwd waar een kloosterorde op/in woont en waar Ridley en de alien in terecht komen.
Vincent Ward & John Fasano
The screenplay by Ward and co-writer John Fasano had Ripley's escape pod crash landing on a monastery-like, wooden planet. The Alien³ special features disc also explains how they would come about creating the story for a wooden planet. However, the inhabitants of this planet would view the arrival of Ripley as that of a religious trial from their "god." By having a woman on their monastery planetoid, their trial would be one of sexual temptation. To avoid this, the Monks of the wooden planet would later lock Ripley into a dungeon-like sewer. The early draft, which featured the Alien creature coming with Ripley, had the wooden planet Monks believing that the Alien was in fact the Devil. There are scenes and illustrations featured on this disc that show the "Wooden Planet." Aspects of the monastery/Monks of the early draft were later utilized in the final production of the film by having the male inmates participating in the religion shown. The screenplay featured a vast number of scenes set in different locations on the wooden planetoid, ranging from an internal 5 mile wide sea to wheatfields on its surface. Ward's intended version of the film proved hugely problematic, opposed by the studio who hired Greg Pruss and later Larry Ferguson for further rewrites, and eventually Ward left the film in frustration.[citation needed]
Het zou een hele nieuwe fantasy achtige draai aan de serie moeten geven maar die klootzakken bij Fox hebben de boel mooi veneukt, en daarom zitten we nu met afgezaagde meuk als AVP:2 ipv een serie die elke keer wat nieuws probeert te proberen.
kijk maar s op de wiki

zelfs William Gibson's (cyberpunk schrijver extraordinaire) script is afgekeurd door die lamzakken
