A disc solely featuring the merchandise could be done (games, toys, etc).
Restored score sequences are also an idea....
Meedermow... Jonno... you guys still around?

Hey guys! While we're trying to put our forces together and produce another Alien appendix, there is another great thing going on with Aliens. While we're still waiting for Alien war to re-open, Seoul in Korea is getting Aliens 3-D attraction!

alien wars BBC newsreport with Alien war opening footage...
I have to say, as a big fan, Alien Wars was a lot of fun. I did it summer of 93 in London. It was about 10 minutes long I think. A man in an Alien suit, dark cooridors, an Alien egg I think, screaming marines, great fun. The fun for me was watching the people I was with freaking out and a few "died" along the way. When you were done, you basiclly just exited next to a window with a few props. Ripley's Reebok sneakers from Aliens were there. I still have the ticket somewhere.
Would be great to have a no holds bared multi-location, big budget version, but this is still a lot of fun. Would love to do it again.

Yup, I did the London War the same year! Summer of 1993. Would LOVE to do it again.
BTW.. how is your project coming along? ;-)
Hey guys! RecentlyUK's Channel 5 had a TV special "Greatest ever 80s movies" which listed Aliens at #4. There was a 4 minute featurette on aliens featuring new interview with Michael Biehn. I have a copy of it. Also there is a BBC NEWS clip on youtube about Alien wars that ofer rare clips of original Alien war grand opening. BBC NEWS. Also there is a rumour of Alien saga being released on Blu-ray by the end of the year! I think that's enough news to get us back on track producing those great Alien supplemental discs...
I would love to see this project move on. I even have stuff to contribute. But it seems to have died.
pity, this was a really awesome project. someone definitely should keep it alive.
Well, if the original producers of appendix DVDs have retired then I'm interested in producing the new DVD myself. Let's keep this moving fast - I'm not interested in compiling clips for a single DVD for years due to nonresponsive fans (like it happened with the last unreleased disc). This is beneficial to all of us Alien fans so every single second of unreleased material is appretiated. I intend to make full capacity DVD, so whoever has footage to contribute with, please list it here ASAP so we can start rolling...
good luck guys! i am looking forward to any future releases of my favourite project here
Okay, now is the time to list our footage individually so we can start figuring out who's got what and start making arrangements. Please confine your listings to the video footage only. This is what I have:
ALIENS:
- TV spot for Aliens (TV1000, 1 min). Advertised as the winner of 2 academy awards and it has graphics that mimic Aliens logo
- TV spot for Aliens (DirectTV, 30 seconds). With Sigourney filmed to match powerloader scene.
- Greatest ever 80's movies: Aliens #4 (Channel 5, 3 min). With new M. Biehn interview.
- Aliens: ride at the speed of fright - pre-ride & ride films (8 min)
- Alien war - 4 promo ads & newsreports: beyond 2000, hrt, bbc news (18 min)
ALIEN 3:
Pepsi promo ad Alien 3 (1 min)
ALIEN SAGA:
International tv special: dissected (22 min). Made to promote AVP2 but half of it features behind the scenes and interview segments on Alien 1-4.
I was wondering if there was any luck finding A2 reebok clip, HBO specials, A3 epk, A2 Movie Magic & Alien War documentary? There is also documentary called "VISUAL FUTURIST: The Art & Life of Syd Mead". Since Mead designed Sulaco this doc might feature some Aliens segments. Does anyone have it and is it worth the $30 + s&h purchase?

Hey Guy's,
Good to see that there is some action going on in this thread!
Will visit Alien War in some months and hope to make some footage.

Yes I still have the Alien Super8 movie film. It is 18min w/sound.
But no funds to transfer it.
I've uploaded my new Aliens stuff for Jonno to have it included on new Appendix DVD (feel free to download it if you can't wait for "official" release). Hopefully any of you out there who still haven't contributed with their footage will do so soon, so I can start working on next Appendix disc...

that some good stuff,can't wait for more Alien.
Yes, there is always good stuff laying around, just waiting to be found & shared. Jonno should be contacted for any A1+A2 stuff and I for A3+A4 (triffid, where are you?). It'd be a shame if we don't release at least one new Appendix disc before the official quadrilogy blu-ray set is released by the end of the year.
I got those clips, thanks TB! Assembly of AA4 continues - I'll get my collected A3/A4 materials over to you pronto for the other discs.
Im having probs wiht my rapidshare plus im not at home at the moment but i have some stuff wi will upload for you.
*A3 EPK
*Siskel and Ebert Aliens, Alien 3 review.
*1979 Kenner Alien Figure Advert (if you dont have it already)
Was scanning these for another project thats been cancelled, if your interested let me know and i'll sort it.
*Alien UK Fan Club Membership letters
*UK Fan club membership cards.
*Aliens convention 1993 Flyer.
*ALiens convention 1999 Ticket reserve flyer.
*UK Fan club membership form/fyler
*Alien War Society Letter and issue #1 mag.
*ALien war watch (came with letter and mag)
*Alien war Survivors badge.
I provided the Siskel and Ebert review of Aliens and I don't belive it was used on the last one. So that is still pending.
I just got a documentary on visual futurist Syd Mead and there is a short segment on Aliens, with some sketches I've never seen before (actually, as it turnes out Mead designed a lot of stuff not just Sulaco). I'll have it uploaded for Jonno.
Has anyone located (or seen) the famous Reebok clip from Aliens or cocooned Burke scene?
Regarding Siskel & Ebert - if there are multiple copies of the same clip available, we should check for better quality.
I got an official press kit of Alien lying around here with some photo's, info and badge's. Is that any intresting to scan and upload?
I believe Alien appendix project is intended for video footage only. If there is an interest for CD-Rom compilation of printed promo materials and news articles a new thread should be opened so this one stays on track...
A few years ago UK's Channel 5 had a TV special "Greatest ever scary movies" with a video segment on Alien that topped#the list. Does anyone has that show (or any other in the series for that matter)? http://www2.five.tv/programmes/greatestevermovies/countdown/?list=2
Back at home now so will upload the Alien 3 EPK and send links....
