I've got the THX LD which was mastered from the slightly alternate 70mm print.

Too bad no one is seeding a lot of those torrents. Still, there's lots of good stuff on there.

Ok, here's where we are. Meedermow and I started assembling the materials for AA4 (the 'Aliens' disc) back in august, but a combination of frustrating problems and real-life commitments meant that it got re-shelved again. Sorry, but that's the way it sometimes has to go with these things!
Anyway, I see it's been nearly a year since we brought out AA3, so I guess we're a little behind schedule... let's get moving again. I see you (TB) have found some more Aliens-related rarities in the meantime, so the delay might well have been beneficial! We'll talk about getting everything together, and then make a final push to get disc 4 out some time in feb.
By the way, I hope this doesn't seem too reactionary, but I for one don't have any interest in including AvP material in this project. These films have reduced the Aliens concept to a fairly mindless level of entertainment, and while they are still being produced, we're not going to get another Alien-themed movie with an ounce of the creativity and intelligence of the original trilogy. I just don't see that as a cause for celebration, I'm afraid.

I'll have to also check to see if I have any other video clips.

In the original version of the documentary on the bonus disc for Alien3 included in the Quadrilogy box, there was about a half hour's worth of footage that illustrated David Fincher's frustration with the project using video footage shot during production. This was all removed prior to the official release. Is any of that stuff circulating?

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I have some of the old workprint footage that wasn't put on the Assembly Cut, but I don't think it's all of it. I had gotten it off Youtube, but it's very small and not good quality. I also have some text articles as well, but I've been more focused on collecting information and video for a possible project.

I have a couple small suggestions that may be completely lame.
1. I have a .pdf version of the wildly out-of-print Colonial Marines Technical Guide. Maybe that could be a DVD-Rom feature, ya know, cut into a slideshow with music from the film behind it.
2. There are a bunch of small "throwaway" pieces on the films that, as far as I'm aware, have never been collected. Sort of glimpses into the hype and response to the films. HBO First Look did pieces on Aliens, Alien: Resurrection, and AvP (boo). The Aliens one was floating around youtube for a little while, but got pulled and I haven't seen it since. I'm sure with a little looking one of us can dig it up again. It wasn't particularly jaw-dropping but had some interesting, presumably exclusive, interviews with the cast. There are also the Ebert and Siskel/Roeper bits on the films, which give an interesting look at the contemporary responses to them.
Aliens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_7C2_dsMpw&feature=related Siskel - "I'll admire it only at this level: good art direction." (the audio is pretty messed up on this.)
Alien 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz2NrZKwDjY&feature=related Ebert - "In some ways the most interesting movie."
Resurrection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS_RmuOTy9w Ebert - "The Alien series has finally run out of steam."
3. There's some clips on youtube of isolated music tracks from the Alien 3 video game. This might not be of much interest to some of you, but I remember playing that game all the time and the music is kind of an interesting thing. I'm not exactly sure how to go about it, but maybe someone could even rip the opening titles of the game, which were like an 8-bit recreation of the first five minutes of Alien 3. This is only really tangentially related to the movie, so I don't know how y'all will feel about it, but just an idea.
Also, there was a cancelled PS2 game called "Colonial Marines" (the upcoming PS3 one is unrelated). There's information floating on the web about it, and a set of stills and even a beta demo video on youtube.
AND (please don't kill me for focusing on video game nonsense and youtube videos, but it's a start) there's this great video on the internet of all the Alien-related video games back to back. It's a real cool look at how the franchise has changed (from stay alive to shoot em up) and how the look of the creatures has changed and how the technology has changed and blah blah blah

4. God, more youtube. But here's a wonderful 1979 commercial for that infamous 18 inch Kenner Alien. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKSv85mJEmY And one for the much more recent AvP toys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS13huJGCHI&feature=related
Anyway, that's my suggestions. Nothing to anchor the installment, but just a few ideas to get the ball rolling. These seem to all have in common is the cultural legacy of the series

The Alien action figure commercial is actually on one of the releases already. I just forgot which one.
There is an Entertainment Tonight review of Aliens I provided that might be on a future edition.
I have a Super8mm version that runs 18 min that I hope can be included too. I'm curious as to how it is edited to 18 min.
