Well a movie i would view as classic sci-fi viewing, a big film of my youth.. and i enjoy it every time i see it...

Alien..

well incase you didnt know, this Halloween.. its being re-released as a directors cut including extra scenes..

heres the trailer

Trailer

ive read its not got much added.. hopefull it will make what i view as a great film even better...

i think the earlyer released directors cut of aliens was far superior to the original theatrical release of aliens..

anyway fellow ats/bts movie buffs whats your take on it??

anyone excited?

didn't they already released the directors cut version??

nope.. its been remastered and re edited together some scenes are shorter some are added...

ahhh sweet man!! thats gone be #in wicked when it comes out

The original ALIEN was one of the most awesome movies I have seen the first time I watched it very late at night I was petrified,great story,great movie.
I look forward to its release.

The names they chose like NOSTROMO and LV426 all sounded so credible and freaky,it really added a weird reality dimension to the movie.

If it ever appears in Japan I will be the first in line..

fox are releasing an alien box set too.. its either 7 or 9 disc set.. it has alot of extras..

i own all the aliens allready on dvd i dunno if i will buy it ..

Thats great news about the DVDs they will definately become a part of my collection.

But I am still snotted with FOX for never allowing the MILLENIUM series to come out on DVD,that is just crimminal....

I heard that there is an alien sex scene in the director's cut.

probably in some japanese alien movie

SWEET! it's going to be in theaters! I should go see it with my mom...she claims she saw Alien when she was pregnant with me! (although I'm really not sure how that works...she was pregnant with me in 1981 and the movie was released in 1979. maybe it was in the theaters for a long time. or it's a neat story and she fudged the dates. )

I thought they released a directors cut of Alien first on Laserdisc then on DVD?

that sounds right for some reason... well its still being re released and ive not seen the extra scenes..

Great I love Alien, I gotta see the Director's Cut, more scenes. Such a flawless movie,classic sci fi horror !

Alien Sex scence? That has to be some freaky erotic version of Alien

I've got Aliens: The Director's Cut on VHS (was a loooong time ago when I got it). It only improved on the original. Blade Runner: The Director's Cut was not all that terrific... it was more edgy, certainly, although I do think the voice-overs in the original brought the Deckard character closer to the audience.

aliens is the best
"one way exspress elevator to hell going down."

Got to see this film at the pics even better when on a 30ft screen one of those things you can tell your kids lol

I remember seeing it when it first came out - I was working night shift as a Computer Op a few hours afterwards and the computer dept looked like the Nostromo. You can imagine what it was like that night, running around with CO2 fire extinquishers and flashing lights

I got a 'Nostromo' cap too - like the one Harry Dean Staton had when the Alien stuffed its tongue through his head. But the fecking dog ate it - Bastard !!!

LOL I got a Nostromo cap too!

My Dad worked in the house in which Roger Dicken lived and he was the man who made the Chestburster and Facehugger models, my Dad said the 'burster was in a case mounted on a wall.

I've also held Siggy w's Pulse rifle from Aliens and Vasquez's Smart Gun. Awesome movies (apart from resurection)

PS: in Alien 3 with all the extrastuff put in the quadrilogy turned a crap film into a flawed masterpiece.

Resurrection had a crap ending but was ok otherwise. I particularly like the scene where Brad Dourif is looking at an Alien through a window and it tries to slam its way out to get him. You could almost believe the things were real.

I don't know. I got told that a long loooooonnnnnng time ago, when I was still taking computer classes. One of our teacher was a big geek, and a big dork I must add (not related to the fact of being a geek), and one time he said that in the (coming) director's cut of Alien, Ripley was supposed to get f*cked by an Alien. I guess he was just making up stuff, that huge dork...

He also told us he was doing Kung Fu and was bad ass at it lol... Guess that was a lie too. (he was like REALLY fat and didn't looked agile at all)

Now that I think about it, there's just so much stuff he would tell that sounded bogus... Whatever, sorry for wasting your time.
