Idea & Info: a Preservation of Alien Evolution doco?
Time
I don't think so

if you have:

the first release of Alien (with the audio comm, and the isolate alternate score
the Alien legacy DVD
The Alien Quadrilogy box set
the Alien Saga (image Ent DVD)

and the Alien Evolution uncut version,

so you have all about Alien


but if you are interested in movie trailers, this dvd includes as extras, a lot of 20th century fox trailers, with trailers for Alien and Aliens, not seen on the alien quadrilogy set.

Idea & Info: a Preservation of Alien Evolution doco?
Time
no it is another documentary again, produced by Sharpline Arts for the first DVD box set.

there are 3 documentaries on Alien films

Alien Legacy
Alien Saga
Alien Evolution.

We are talking here about Alien The Evolution which was released on the 9th disc of the Alien Quadrilogy Box in a Cut version.

here is what I found several monts ago about the cut version :

ALIEN EVOLUTION DOCUMENTARY CUTS


nobles gate productions List the Documentary at 75 mins

The Alien Quadrilogy DVD "ALien Evolution" Run time is 64 mins

Now, lets look at the Channel 4 version shown twice on UK television:

The total Channel 4 BROADCAST Run time without ads is: 64 mins

The total run time of Alien footage ONLY is : 34 mins 21 secs

So that means there is officially 29 mins 39 secs CUT

So, in summation,

1: All the Alien interviews are EXTENDED

2: (other than narration at the start of the DOCCO) Mark Kermode is CUT

3: All interviews with Cast/Crew of Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are CUT


the Noblesgate Company website has a trailer for the original uncut documentary and a summary.

Alien Saga was released on DVD by Image Entertainment

The Indiana Jones Project (Released)
Time
I did my own DVD based on the US Laserdisc which includes the two documentaries about Raiders, a few months ago. And I put the two docs on a single DVD.

I recorded both on my DVD recorder Panasonic with a very good picture quality (2 hours mode) and the quality is fine.

I downloaded the first doc on myspleen, and I need to see if there big differences between them.

by the way, good job on the covers. I use the double feature cover and it looks awesome

Se7en: Criterion Edition preservation set
Time
I only saw it once. If I remember correctly, Michael Douglas leaves the party, walks on the street and something happens, telling the audience that maybe the game is not over yet. Something like that.

the LD includes:

-Screen-specific audio commentary by David Fincher, 'Michael Douglas' and others
- Behind-the-scenes footage
- Storyboards
- Production design artwork
- An alternate ending
- Original theatrical trailer
- Teaser trailer
- Psychological test film.
