the actual title on the screen will be ALIEN: REDUX, since I can have the five letter REDUX slowly appear below the five letter ALIEN on the top of the screen

Please don't do this.  I absolutely hate it when the title of a fan edit makes it clear that it's a fan edit.  This has prevented me from getting a lot of fan edits that I would otherwise have liked.  For instance, does the Final Cut of Blade Runner say Blade Runner: The Final Cut in the opening credits?  No, because "The Final Cut" is simply the name of the version of the film, not the film's title itself.  Make the menus say whatever you want, i.e. Ady's use of "Revisited" in the intro to his menu and throughout the menus, but please please please leave the title within the film itself the same.

Okay! Okay!  I get it!  <:D

I'll probably just do it for me then (as far as the title thing goes).  If and when this gets released, the title will be unmolested (for some reason CSA, your post got me into thinking about that HARVEY BIRDMAN episode where they started making fun of all of the CSI spin-offs: HARVEY BIRDMAN, ELEVATOR OPERATOR, HARVEY BIRDMAN: BABY MYSTERY CLUB, etc).

Or I could have "revisited" burst out of the title, or have the letters chase themselves around like a PINK PANTHER opening title sequence... I'm sure that would fit...
