A) No Giger biography in the near future. Yesterday I received a message from the editor of this project. They finished the primary shooting phase already, but their main sponsor cancelled the deal! Finding a new one can take months... I do not understand why some Swiss company do not catch this great opportunity immediately. Giger is their national treasure and they can make money on him.
B) Jonno
Giger’s Alien – I asked 8t88’s for a copy. I can compare the versions, select the best one and send it to you together with my material that I must send to you sooner or later. I already PMed him my address. I also wrote a letter to the guy who offered his LD to Fox three years ago, but I do not believe he will respond to it.
Shock & Awe – I asked tb1971 for his archive several times, but he does not answer. I really hope he did not forget about us!
Aliens: James Cameron Director & Work – Yes, we are still on the Archives version for this. I contacted the girl in London again today, waiting for her answer. The studio that made it in 1986 do not answer too, so all my hopes are with her. She definitely has it on a tape, but she has "too little time" to look for it. I offered either money or our final product to her as a compensation.
Making of Alien 3 (UK) – Since I must transfer some of my tapes to DVD next week, I will add this one to the mix. My comments on its quality are above.
Making of Alien Resurrection (Brad Dourif version) – The same problem with tb1971, I consider my NTSC copy to be not too good but usable. I will have a PAL version of it in two weeks too plus some more A4 TV stuff, quality unknown.
C) 8t88
Same as with tb1971. If you can make a high quality copy from the VHS and then put both documentaries on one disc , I will compare the Making of A3 with both my VHS and VCD. Then I will send everything to Jonno. My transfers are not ready yet, I must do this in my friend's flat, only he has the equipment we need. Thus I cannot send anything to Jonno sooner anyway and there will be no time loss, Jonno cannot start his work without my videos.
D) I think we should leave the final decision about distributing of the material among the discs on Jonno. Personally I do not care about the chronological order, my only request is to do not change PAL into NTSC and vice versa.

The video you wanted is among these "to be transfered" items too.
