@@projecta34k8 I am going to look into that, have you ever tried to go to dimension films website and look on careers or anything? I would imagine there has to be position for people that make trailers. Also, have you made any of these for Alien or Aliens?
Same, same, same. I am unapologetically a fan. Is it bleak? Yes! That's the freaking point. It's creating a morally nightmarish universe. Getting hung up on the deaths of Newt and Hicks and so on and so forth is missing the entire point. Alien 3 is *supposed* to be an existential nightmare and, wow, does it succeed.
Alien four to wyona Ryder the pirates and the connection between Ripley and xenomorph.the scene were they connect then it gets sucked out of the hole is a great one . Basically every sigourney weaver film is brilliant no 1 was mind blowing no2 was something else and the rest are all unique. I'm glad she's not back for the last few modern one's because they are a different thing and I personally didn't rate the storyline . David was a great character and the other actors did a great job to but the connection between the engineers and David's overshadow of the story let it down . It would have been great if he lost it but in a different way
Love this trailer. I adore Alien 3 and I'm not ashamed to admit that. From the lighting, use of the camera, color pallet, soundtrack, the bleak depressing atmosphere and religious undertones, just love everything Fincher was attempting to do with this movie, no matter how flawed it is.
@Ashley Thomas88. I a red, You're a Very wise one and you saw way beyond falts. I too am an Alien3 fan I thought it was Awsome and enjoyable despite what people thought of it!!!!
If it were nihilistic there would be no meaning to Ripley or any of the prisioners deaths. It would all be pointless. However the film, despite its bleak atmosphere and situation is dripping with meaning. It wears a nihilistic mask.
@@Terrordome3000 It's nihilistic in it's thematic presentation; Ripley is already dead and cannot escape this, the prisoners live in an all male prison planet till death with no prospects for any future and no weapons to defend themselves against the Xenomorph and follow apocalyptic Christianity, the company is chasing a literal bioweapon to enact mass death for profit, the opening of the film kills the symbolic family unit, and Ripley defeats the nihilism of the entire scenario through embracing the absolute nothing Death.
@@noheroespublishing1907 Thats a good way of putting it, they 'defeat the nihilism of the entire scenario' by sacrificing themselves (thanklessly mind you) to save the universe from the alien. Their sacrifice wasn't in vain (not counting Ressurection) which ultimatly makes the film not nihilistic. It ends with meaning after a barage of utter dire events.
This is much appreciated. Speaking as someone, whose whole perspective on the power of bleak film making and the miserable world of the alien universe, was shaped by this movie.
@@projecta34k8 I checked out your website, it's amazing the amount of work you've done. I just have two small complaints, I think the new Fury 161 effect is better than the original but it seems a bit too modern, maybe it's because of the purple light and also the big radio telescope seems a little too sharp and doesn't blend into the background very well, but other than that it's great. Did you also change the shot of Fury 161 in space at the end when they leave?
BROTHER’S BEEN COOKIN’! So glad to see how well this project is looking, and I cannot wait to hopefully see it in October. You’ve done a fine job with this movie, my friend- it’s looking so clean and new with these touch ups!
My favorite movie on the series. But she had her problems. Thank you so much. Job Willins made the best fan edit Alien movie, when he made Alien Paradise. But i really hope this one will surpass it. This movie deserves it.
Been an ALIEN fan for a long time and I am one of the few that Loves ALIEN ³, it sticks to creator Dan O'Bannon's principle, Space is an uncaring place, it will not care if the human race goes extinct. The Alien is ruthless, unforgiving, unclouded by conscience, remorse or morality.
I agree mate, ALIEN 3 was a masterpiece I don't think David Fincher realizes what a masterpiece ALIEN 3 is? This film has become a cult classic NOW I honestly think ALIEN 3 is perfect. Yes, we ALL know the struggles with studio interference etc etc but David, mate, if this was your first film let me, tell you RIGHT NOW that this one is one of your BEST hands down. There's something magical about ALIEN 3 that NOT many sequels succeed in but ALIEN 3 did and ended the saga and closed the book. Looking forward to this Legacy Cut of ALIEN 3 bring on October!!!!!
@@paul4films193 Well said. I think Fincher feels the way he does due to being treated the way he was treated by FOX, and frankly, who can blame him? Sometimes you can make the best thing in your life, and yet ending hating it due to the process and the nasty people involved. But yeah, ALIEN ³ was masterfully done, and the studio and producers messed up the experience for Fincher, but they would never take responsibility for it.
@@EternalRoman 100% mate, I hear you, but David, should drop the hate that was inflicted during the making of ALIEN³ let the past be the past his done well for himself in the movie industry now so he should embrace this cult classic it's an amazing film I don't think ALIEN³ could have been made in a any better way maybe what this fan is doing with this Legacy Cut will fix it up better I really hope David Fincher see's what this fan is doing and perhaps helps him, achieve the best possible project in fact once completed David, should meet this fan and perhaps let Fox/Disney support this release and perhaps even in the future have it officially pressed to physical media with the director's approval of course two heads are better then one lol. But well done to this fan I have a question for the person making this will be be able to watch this on our 4K TV's? Or computer only. I would love to watch this on my 65inch 4K TV
Agreed, I'm stunned that the movie turned out as well as it did with all the studio meddling. I've always loved the atmospheric tone of it and I think Fincher did an amazing job.
Your work is spectacular and I want to congratulate you for that. A big fan of Alien 3 writes to you here, which is my favorite of the trilogy. Now, beyond the obvious improvements you achieved, I always thought that an even more serious problem than the poor composition of the puppet in the frame is the fact that there are two totally different creature designs. The rubber suit presents a massive, robust, large and heavy xenomorph, with a lot of muscles, while the puppet is very skinny, long, with thin limbs and generally looks like a small specimen. It seems absolutely incomprehensible to me how two designs were worked on in parallel as if the different departments had not had communication with each other. Personally, I think they should have done everything with the suit, which looks better than in the entire saga, and optimized the direction and editing so as not to need shots that require other types of special effects. But hey, in case Fincher ever makes his version, I hope he does what I say or replaces the puppet with the best CGI that can imitate the rubber suit well. Again, congratulations and I hope your version finally comes out!
I already love the film and was ok with puppet work but this truly revamps the film for me and hopefully with these fixed puppet work folds more ppl in and open up to accepting Alien3 as a part of the trilogy and culmination set by Alien and Aliens. Since I feel if the puppet work is fixed many would forgive the film for what it did with Hick and Newt and follow this story.
At that point CGI couldn't even look like bad CGI. Even the shields in Lynch's Dune were hand animated. And people think that was CGI. The only CGI in Alien 3 was a shadow and the cracks on its head at the end. What happened was the composting was rushed to get the film out in theatres. Same with hack job they did with the editing. Considering every effort Brandywine made to ruin the film it is surprisingly coherent and atmospheric.
@@Concreteowl Well, there's Jurassic Park from just a year later. Maybe it's the sleekness of the 'puppet', or its enhanced borders, how it's composited in, or upscaled here (I don't remember how it looked on DVD or BD, as I don't re-watch this movie), but looks out of place.
I am very much looking forward to watching this. You have done some incredible work here. This film is getting the much needed love and attention it deserves. It would be nice if you could put out a physical copy of this on a bluray like the Star Wars despecialized editions. Would love to put this on the shelf with the rest of my collection.
This looks fantastic!!! Alien³ is my personal favorite of the franchise and your upscaling work on this edit looks phenomenal. I'd like to speak with you about this project specifically for review if you're willing. Can't wait to see this!
That whole scene is absolutely peak. Alien 3 might have a lot of flaws, but the warden making a speech then getting sucked up into the ceiling in a shower of blood and then the pause and "FUCK!" is probably my favourite scene in any alien movie.
Thank you so much for giving this amazing movie the attention it deserves. This movie holds a special place for many people, it tends to be the first Alien movie many of us saw first during early childhoods.
This looks incredible! The assembly cut is awesome with the exception of that damned cow, it looks like you've created the definitive edition of a seriously underrated film - and I'll probably find myself checking your website several times a day now.
Thing is I actually prefer the ox being the host of the alien. It adds to the religious undertones of the story, however, it does fail to make logical sense when you consider that the ox was already dead, and that it is no longer a "dog alien" but an "Ox alien". So both have their pros and cons, but yeah. I like the Ox. Plus, the back and fourth between Murphy and Frank in the abattoir is awesome.
This looks amazing. Both the theatrical & Assembly Cuts of Alien 3 are favourites of mine; although I do prefer Ripley’s swan dive in the theatrical cut. Fun Fact: I went to art college not far from where they filmed the EEV impact & Ripley washing up on the beach; Blast Beach in Seaham, North East England. Also parts of the blast furnaces that are on the Tees Estuary feature in the matte paintings; although they filmed some scenes at Blyth Power Station. It’s worth noting that the same area of the Tees Estuary was the influence for the opening sequence of Blade Runner. Ridley Scott attended the same college I previously mentioned. Due to him growing up in the area, he took a lot of inspiration from the blast furnaces & oil refineries that dotted the landscape. Fun Fact 2: I got to go behind the scenes at the now closed Alien War which was at The Trocadero in London. In their workshop, not only did they have Dietrich’s armour & a Smart Gun; amongst multiple other props from Aliens. They also had two large art deco inspired dog sculptures. These were from an unfinished scene set in the library on Fury 161; no doubt a further left over from Vincent Wards original story involving monks.
I truly do not understand why David Fincher dumped on this film, as his first big movie it is an incredible accomplishment. I think he was too concerned about walking in the shadow of the first two films he did not properly realise what he had created. This is one of those few movies that gets better with time. What was originally thought of as a poor story with bad creative choices eg killing off Hicks etc is actually what later makes it excel; the bleakness, the depression, the dismal, dreary palette are what make this film stand on its own feet. This film is not Alien or Aliens, it is Alien3, it sits on a different mountain top but one that is just as high. Alongside the subtle improvements over the years; hopefully this new edit will add another quality grade to this fine wine of a movie.
He hated working on it because of the producers who were constantly on his back, I can understand why he doesn't want to hear about it again even if I long for a new version with the a better integration for the alien puppet... But since Disney bought the Fox it's almost impossible to get a GOOD version now...
"This thing is a really pissed off!" and finally looks good as it gets! Alien looks sooooo much better than past versions of this amazing movie 🖤 Looking forward!
I took the time to read through the details on your site and i've gotta say - as a fellow editor myself, i'm really excited to enjoy this newly edited iteration of such an underrated entry into the series. A massive congratulations on such a feat, indeed!
Looks great! Will be looking forward to this! I see you're going with the dog version ( I'm fine with either personally). I wonder which version of the ending you'll go with, because as much as I like the added scenes in the Assembly cut,like Bishop screaming in pain that he's not an android,the part were Ripley falls into the fire just looks bad, the music doesn't even sync with the scene properly. It's probably the one thing the theatrical version has over the special edition and I could never understand why some would say otherwise.
Love Alien 3. The only edit to def not use from the assembly cut is the jaws opening before Clemens is killed. I've always thought showing the jaws open before the bite was a bad edit move. The reveal of the creature should be it approaching Ripley. The added jaws open shot is pointless. We had that shot when Brett dies in the first movie. We get how the jaws work by the 3d film. The theatrical cut's pacing keeps it brutal and abstract. That entire death in the theatrical cut is perfect. Don't change a frame. Cheers!
Thank you for the huge amount of work you have done and continue to do, bringing this project to life. It looks beautiful. I wish I could see this version in a cinema.
Extremely excited to see the final product. Alien 3 will always hold a special place in my heart for a multitude of reasons, but I could not agree more that it is genuinely underappreciated. I'll be quite interested to see how you blended the Assembly Cut with the Theatrical Cut. I find moments from both films necessary to tell a more complete narrative (such as the alien coming from a dog rather than a cow) but I love the more expansive shots of the facility and the bleakness of the terrain. Curious to know how you reconciled the footage. You are an amazing individual for undertaking this.
So much hate for this movie. I cant understand. Assembly Cut makes it so good. Dark, nihilistic, hopeless, sad... What did people expect? This is the perfect ending of saga. SAD !!! But great.
Really looking forward to this. I have the Final/Hybrid cut and until this is released that will be my definitive edition. I will happily replace it with this. It looks amazing!!
I cannot wait to see this in October. Looks like a lot of love went into this. I’ve always felt that Alien 3 had the potential to be a truly great film.
I'm definitely on board for this, I for one prefer the Alien being birthed from a dog. An Ox is a big lumbering, slow-moving animal. Doesn't make much sense that the Xenomorph is an extremely fast runner coming from an Ox. Between Romulus, this, and the new Aliens expanded documentary this is an exciting year for us Alien fanboys. thankyou bro.
Wow looks really nice, how is it possible to see this cut? Always loved Alien 3, may be my favourite of the franchise, the assembly cut is great though I know it still needed work. Agree including the Rottweiler chestburster, much more of an assault to the senses and in context of how the xenomorph moves
No puedo esperar a ver esta versión, estoy emocionado por poder ver el esfuerzo de un fan. A la espera. Sin duda si logras lanzarlo, pasarás a la historia.
I am so happy that so many other people love this film. I don’t think it’s the best made or even has great effects but the characters and atmosphere make by far my favourite. There can be no winners against this creature, even knowing its existence can lead to doom.
AWESOME !!! I remember the first time I saw the film when it was released in the cinema (like the 2 before it in their time) a very long time ago but still so fresh in my mind, I remember how much I I was excited and really happy to see the darkness and despair. The fact that there is no hope in space makes it “real”, tangible. I don't know how else to say it (one of the ideas was to make Ripley, Hicks and Newt a family: stupid) I'm very impressed with the work done and the authenticity of your passion. Your website is very serious and well created. I can't wait for October and hope many fans will help you with the "Ripley's Last Sacrifice" plan. PS: BRAVO for improving the compositing effects of the Alien puppet!
you can't obviously buy since Alien 3 has rights protected by Disney and this is a fan made project. Unless by october he sents to you the movie somehow.
