Description
Alien - Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay by William Gibson unveils William Gibson's never-before-adapted screenplay for the direct sequel to Aliens, revealing the fates of Ripley, Newt, the synthetic Bishop, and Corporal Hicks. When the Colonial Marines vessel Sulaco docks with the space station and military installation Anchorpoint, a new form of Xenomorph appears. This adaptation is written by Hugo Award-winning novelist and 'Queen of Cyberpunk' Pat Cadigan, based on Gibson's never-produced first draft.
The Sulaco, on its return journey from LV-426, enters a sector controlled by the 'Union of Progressive Peoples,' a nation-state engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race. U.P.P. personnel board the Sulaco and find hypersleep tubes with Ripley, Newt, and an injured Hicks. A Facehugger attacks the lead commando, and the others narrowly escape, taking what remains of Bishop with them.
The Sulaco continues to Anchorpoint, a space station and military installation the size of a small moon, where it falls under the control of the military's Weapons Division. Boarding the Sulaco, a team of Colonial Marines and scientists are assaulted by a pair of Xenomorph drones. In the fight, Ripley's cryotube is badly damaged. It's taken aboard Anchorpoint, where Ripley is kept comatose. Newt and an injured Corporal Hicks are awakened, and Newt is sent to Gateway Station on the way to Earth. The U.P.P. sends Bishop to Anchorpoint, where Hicks begins to hear rumours of experimentationβthe cloning and genetic modification of Xenomorphs.
The kind of experimentation that could yield a monstrous hybrid, and perhaps even a Queen. ALIEN 3 TM & (c) Twentieth Century Films. All rights reserved.
