An Alien 3 Script Penned By William "Neuromancer" Gibson...
William Gibson's "Alien 3" script. This sucker's been on the Internet for years, but I am late to the game, I guess. But for those who have been living in the same cave as me, this may be a treat.

Ripley's only got a cameo in this movie, though. Apparently this was done because Sigourney Weaver wasn't interested in participating in the movie beyond a cameo role, but the studio rejected the script because Ripley had been dutifully removed. So instead, Hicks becomes the main (reappearing) character.

History here. (Along with notes on all the other attempts at creating a script for a sequel to Cameron's Aliens).

Too bad they didn't go with this script (or a variation thereof). Maybe then Alien 3 wouldn't have sucked.
