This uses The Assembly Cut as it's base and introduces Theatrical Cut elements that I have a preference for. I also attempt to clean up the colour and contrast imbalances in certain composite shots. I also add extra FX for dramatic effect in places, to improve visually on the original or to technically facilitate differences in lighting between the 2 versions when using footage for the same scenes.

After the positive reception to Derelict (my Prometheus/Alien mashup), I decided to take a look at the least-loved of the proper Alien series. Ripley is an editing project that blends Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. I used footage from the theatrical & extended editions of both films to focus on the tragedy and eventual triumph of Ellen Ripley through a time-shifting narrative.

What if Aliens never existed? What if the core components that compromised Alien 3 were modified to be the direct sequel to Ridley Scott’s masterpiece? This edit reshapes the oft-maligned Alien 3 into a direct sequel to Alien.

Alien 3 never received the proper release it deserved, nor as director David Fincher intended. While it is impossible to truly bring his original vision to the screen, this edit makes it a worthy entry in the Alien Saga.

From the Theatrical and Assembly cuts of Alien 3 this version is a re-edit based on the workprint. It is meant as a sort of official workprint theatrical cut.

This extends Alien 3 to have a version with the extended Assembly Cut scenes but with the dog birth footage instead of the cow. It also restores the Queen bursting out of Ripley.
