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

My first thought was why wouldn't you want to includes scans of such material in a ROM folder on the DVD, as well as present them as a "bonus" selection on the DVD's menu.  A press kit is more than just memorabilia from a film, it is an essential piece of the history of the film itself.  Then I thought, "ah, right, this is Aliens Archive that is now being discussed" as AA#3 was released some time back.  But now I realize that tb1971 is referring to the first film with mention of that list.

All this leads me to ask 2 questions:

1. Is the current project in fact AA#4 (collecting material from the sequels), or is more stuff from the original trying to be gathered?

2. If AA#4 is the current project, shouldn't it have it's own thread?
