An idea if the un-released Aliens 3 was better then the theaterical version?fnordboy wrote:The Alien Quadrilogy is starting to look friggin awesome:
Alien: will include 14 deleted scenes for a total of 15
more minutes of the movie.
Aliens: will allow viewers to choose between the Theatrical version, which has never been available on DVD before, and the Cameron, Director’s cut
Alien 3: will include David Fincher’s 2 hr. 50 min
original version of the movie, which has never been released.
Alien Resurrection: will feature an alternate opening
and ending (crash on Earth).
And for the 9th bonus disc, which will include over 3 hours of material:
Alien Legacy – Was a free mail-in offer
Alien Evolution – BBC Documentary
Darkhorse Alien Comics
Darkhorse Alien vs. Predator
Complete Laser Disc features
DVD-ROM
September 2003
Remember all DVD contents/extras and release date is subject to change
I'm not sure how they got the Aloen Legacy back, but now a recut of Resurrection?!We've got a couple of cool things for you today. First up, the May edition of the UK's Empire magazine has some details on the upcoming Alien Quadrilogy direct from 20th Century Fox. Look for the 9-disc set to include new "extended" cuts of Alien, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection (Aliens will be the previous director's cut), along with audio commentaries, documentaries and lots more.
Each film will get 2-disc treatment (a disc for the film and a disc of extras), along with a 9th bonus disc of just supplementary material (including the Alien Legacy documentary). The film discs will reportedly give you the choice of watching the theatrical version or the new extended cuts via seamless branching.
According to Fox, the set is tentatively due for a late 2003 release. We'll post more details when Fox makes their official announcement.
I'll believe it when I'm holding it in my hands... next to my empty wallet.The studio is staying tight lipped about EXACTLY what there is:according to Fox spokesperson Jean Levicki, this is mainly due to "the fact we're not in the promotional period, and there are ongoing negotiations and discussions over what will appear".
Predictably, the internet has been swamped with all manner of rumours,speculation and wish lists.However, thanks to a set of very early specifaction lists provided by Fox, Remote Control (The dvd section of Empire) is able to provide an EXCLUSIVE glimpse of the probable 'general direction' in which the set is going.
"We will have new cuts of Alien,Alien 3
and Alien:Resurrection," says Fox's Sven Davidson.These will all include deleted material that will be seamlessly branched into the existing film.In the case of Aliens, there will be the choice of the theatrical edition, previously unavailable on dvd, and the extended Special Edition.
The box set's version of David Fincher's Alien 3 will undoubtedly have fans salivating, providing an ideal opportunity for the much-maligned film to be re-appraised.The so called 'Extended Work Print' ("Fincher will not allow us to call it a director's cut", says Davison) will POTENTIALLY incorporate much of the vast amount of deleted footage excised from the radically cut theatrical version, perhaps generating a near double running time and a vastly different film.
According to the preliminary specifications commentary fans are superbly catered for.All four directors look set to provide commentaries - a first for James Cameron (What About T2 Extreme Edition?) - along with production crew members.Each film will also bear cast commentaries, though the participants for each are not confirmed.At the very least, Sigourney Weaver should be sure to weigh-in on her star-making genre-changing role.
The supplementary discs appear to be fully-loaded affairs, potentially containing approximately 4 hours of material on each disc, including six-to-eight featurettes, deleted scenes,documentaries,multi-angle scene studies, full screenplays, trailers, art galleries and DVD-ROM material.
The Ninth disc will house the feature-length documentaries: the 68 minute Alien Legacy, devoted to Ridley Scott's Alien, and the BBC's excellent 2001 75-minute Alien Evoltion documentary, fronted by Mark Kermode and impressively featuring interviews with all the key players across all four films.The Disc will also contain material on the Aliens comic book series (including bouts against Predator and The Terminator) and DVD-ROM material.
It promises to be a more comprehensive package than the 1999 set.The big question of course, what's the damage to your pocket? There is more than enough to entice owners of the original set to buy again, which leads remote control to speculate that it might even come in under £100.Currently set for a Region 1 debut in September,the nine-disc set will, according to Fox's UK press office, "Likely see a release in early 2004" on this side of the Atlantic.Fans' appetites whetted, the anticipation is as gripping as a facehugger.
Oh my god.... If this is all true I will be sooooooo friggin happy!!GaryEA wrote:

Not too shabby IMO. If this is in fact true than we will be able to find it either pre order or in release week for around 60-70 bucks . Great deal.November is going to be a fine month, a fine month indeed. Plenty of holidays to take the day off from work. Plenty of food and drink to be had during Thanksgiving and Christmas. And plenty of time to sit down and make sweet lovin' to this box set.
Set the date: November 11, 2003. Click on the link above [ http://www.dvdsoon.com/showtitledetails.xml?uid=47036 ] and you'll see that this puppy is going for a whopping hundred bucks (Canadian). A bitch-inducing price, but it's all worth it. Trust me.
