DESCRIPTION:
Sourcing the Theatrical and Director cuts of the horror classic, I’d planned to improve the film by removing the worst cases of ADR and the worst visual effects, and also by cutting unnecessary shots, whilst keeping the feel of the film consistent with the original.

Another plan was to slightly change the relationship between Ripley and Dallas. In the film, to me, they come off as an obvious ‘item,’ but it is vague enough for many to feel differently. By making the hints more pronounced, and adding one or two more, I hope to make the relationship more obvious.

Along with these changes, I’ve also made mild changes to the score of the film. Using the rejected score and the score of Alien3. I’ve re-scored the cocoon sequence, as well as the Acid scene. I also reinserted part of the “A New Face” track to the face hugger scene and used the last few seconds of said track as a motif for other parts of the film.
