Hey Suntech,

My hope is that this collates ALL footage that's ever been put out there on both the official releases and the fan circuit. I'll send you through one and you can have a look for yourself !

Cheers,

Say, does this release also incorporate the alternate cocoon scene from the deluxe laserdisc version (it is also on the Alien laserdisc archive on the AQ set) where Ripley says she's getting Dallas out of there? I know the quality was kind of sketchy on it, but it's still a nice little addition.


Redux utilizes cocoon footage from both the Director's Cut as well as the Laserdisc(DVD) extras on the earlier releases. They are two different takes of the scene. And yes the whole thing runs much longer. It is truely an edit for the die hard Alien fan that wants to see everything available in one place. The average viewer would feel it drags. It has a much different feel than the official version.
