It was made into a comic.I remember back in '97, Drew's Script-o-Rama website came out with a load of unshot/early draft movie scripts and I read a few Alien 3 ones.
One that vaguely stayed with me was William Gibson's version that featured a shopping mall. Ripley is in a coma, Hicks, Bishop, and Newt are alive with a host of new characters.
I wonder how that script stood up over the years.
Aliens 3 is a pleb filter still I see. I used to not like it because it didn't have a conformist narrative, but that was when I was a teenager.
Had some really good British actors in it too. It's a much better film than anything that came after it. Alien: Romulus is complete garbage that is lacking in any coherent themeing and is just references. Naming something after the Romulus and Remus mythology and doing nothing with it just shows how bad a writer Fede Alvarez is. James Cameron just added an S to the end of Alien and made heat.
I'm more for this than anything else, Neil Blomkamp makes shit films but at least he was willing to have a go with what people wanted to see. Ridley Scott just wants to destroy any remaining mystery behind the Space Jockey and have Pinocchio in space. Fuck all that.
