ALIEN : VIRTUAL WORKPRINT V2 / EXTENDED WORKPRINT (working title)
Time

Work on v3 has begun, being built from the ground up! I Re-ripped and re-encoded all my elements in high quality and perfect 23.97fps! I’m already up to the transmission scene (which is now longer than before by a few seconds).

v3 will be much higher quality than before, and will include more alternate/additional video and audio. There will be two versions, 1080p and 480p. It will also have a 5.1 soundtrack to account for any deleted scenes that include surround sound. I’ve never done a 5.1 mix, nor do I have any way of testing such a track, so I may need some help.

The main source is the Blu Ray laserdisc regrade by PDB https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Alien-Aliens-Color-Regrade/id/17002

All the other sources are the same as they’ve always been. I highly doubt I’ll be using any of Giger’s Alien. I don’t like the idea of incorporating the 4x3 handcam footage never shot as part of the film into the movie itself.

I just finished watching your V2. Great job. Had a few fun suprises along the way, no idea there was so many extra scenes I had never heard off. I was really caught off guard for that part on the Derelict which we see those Space Jockey’s drawings displaying the Alien’s life cycle. Incredible. I noticed you placed the egg morphing scene before Ripley activated the self-destruct. Was it because if it was placed after it, the scenes would go over the 10 minutes until detonation?

Hope everything goes well for your v3. I really appreciate what you are doing. ALIEN is a movie I can always have it longer. 10/10.
