Trailer: Alien ³ The Legacy Cut - A34K (Fan project) 

Alien 3 is brutal and beautifuly shot!!! Don’t listen to the haters out there. This movie is a masterpiece and this trailer is epic!!!

I love this bleak miserable depressing movie so much.

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.

My love for Alien 3 has only grown over the years. I cannot wait for this!

One of the greatest triumphantly nihilistic films ever made. It's dark, bleak, and beautiful!

2:02 Still the best expression of the word in cinema history.

Im so glad you didnt abandoned the project Cant wait

This and the Assembly Cut redeems Alien 3 to a point where I can put this up with the first two films and call it a day. Excellent Fan project this!

So exciting. Thank you! Can't wait to see this remastered version. An underrated classic...

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.

Really happy to hear that this project is still alive, I can't wait.

"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!

As a massive fan of Alien 3 this looks amazing! Congratulations.

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.

I really love how you corrected the color of the alien and fixed the matte. It looks awesome. Can’t wait! Keep up the good work

Outstanding!! We want the whole film with this kind of quality! Superb!

Very nice... I always thought this movie in Alien series was totally underrated. Look forward to the final product

Finally!! Alien 3 is getting the love it deserves.

I had to look back at the title and I still can't believe this is a fan project. Thanks for this masterful work!

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!

Best Alien Day gift ever. Cannot wait.

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!

Fans making edits now better than big studio? Looks amazing!

I can't tell you how hyped I am for this!

Alien³ is easily as good as, if not better than Aliens; such a perfect end to Ripley's story. It turns everything back on its head, a threat, a dark and almost impossible situation after the happy ending in the previous film. It's just different and fits in to the trilogy so well, and with a stunning cast too. Thank you for making this 4k restoration a reality! Not sure what other's think, but if there's one thing that I would suggest is using the original pulse rifle sounds right at the end when they shoot 85. Same prop from Aliens, same gun so would benefit from the same sound. Just my 2p anyway :-)

Such a well crafted trailer. I’m so excited!

Alien³ is a survivor, built to endure, an incredible work.

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.

This is incredible, I hope Fincher gets word of this!

Dude!!! I'm so glad to see you're back. I thought this dream was dead! Hope you find that 3D artist to complete the final Ripley shot

This looks better than the original!😊

Looking amazing work! Well done. Really looking forward to release so I can finally watch the ultimate version of this movie.

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.

What a great job! This is the best trailer ive ever seen for this movie. Great work!

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.

The power of editing. Nice job. 😊 Sets a very very dark tone. The Hereditary - like clock ticking has a very nice touch.

The smoothed over compositing of the Alien looks clean AF.

One of my favourite films of all time, especially the Assembly cut! This edit is much anticipated!!! 😀

I am so pumped for this. The cleaned up FX on the alien look so good! This is one of my all time favorite movies.

I was like, "I can't wait to see that shitty blue screen stop motion Xeno in 4k!" and then I saw it, and i gotta say, you pulled off a miracle. It looked pretty good.

Noticed some of the puppet work blending in far better now...especially in the bit of the runner walking towards Ripley and Dillion! Nice!

Never thought this was a bad movie. Better edit and what i see is better effects...shiiiiiit...gimme!

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.

The fan cut of Alien 3 I want is one that somehow re-inserts the absolutely adorable wippet dog in an alien costume.

The best it's ever looked! Superb work

Ohhh I’m buying this ASAP!!!! Alien 3 is my biggest guilty pleasure of all time!!! I love it sooooooo much!!! Thank you thank you thank you

Oh yeah, this works for me! Thanks for your time and effort with this project 😊

The editing on this trailer is absolutely incredible!

This looks awesome! I'm so excited to watch the movie for the first time when this releases.

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.

Looks fantastic. Made a dodgy hybrid cut myself back after the Quadrilogy DVD set came out, but was a long way from perfect. Can't wait to see the results of all your hard work. It's tragic there's likely never going to be an official hybrid cut, so eagerly anticipating yours, especially with the improved compositing!

I’m so glad you didn’t disappear, been waiting for this! This looks incredible!

This trailer is incredible. Far outdoes the original promo.

This is seriously impressive. Going though your website has convinced me this will be the only way to watch the movie going forward.

This trailer was fantastic. I always liked Alien 3, the only thing I thought that needed improvement was the CGI. It’s filled with a great cast and the setting was bang on.

This looks siiiiiiick!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Oh my God! I can't believe it's almost done! I'm dying to see it! And the trailer is outstanding too!

i've been waiting for this project since i saw the teasers in 2021 can't wait to watch!

Nice job! Finally some love given to a greatly under appreciated movie. Happy Alien day!!

Okay, I'm going into hypersleep until October.

Awesome! Been really looking forward to this!

Really looking for ward to it. Always liked Alien3 but it managed to climb to second place in the entire franchise for me in recent years. Seeing people getting pretty much mauled to death By this creatures made it scary again, after it was turned into a giant ant in the previous movie. I really appreciate your work here!

Thank you so much for your work on this! I hope you will take this opportunity to get rid of the egg shot in the opening, because that egg never made any sense! Apparently it was part of the reshoots, because there was no egg in the workprint cut.

I saw this in the theater and I really liked it. I won't to see this version.

Yes! Cannot wait

Wow!! On the strength of this trailer, I'd say the end result will be fantastic. I can't wait to see it

WAITED SO LONG

This looks amazing ! Can't wait to see the final product !

I will defend this movie until I die. It is an underrated masterpiece.

First Alien movie I ever saw at 6 years old and it scared the shit out of me and also made me sad. Didn’t understand the emotions this movie gave me at the time but looking back I can clearly see the impact it had on my childhood. First movie I ever saw Lance Henriksen in as well! Met him last year at a horror convention and had him sign a Bishop poster. He’s such a badass and down to earth dude!

It looks like you are making the edit of this movie that I always wanted. Clements finding Ripley, the dog, they capture the alien and more Paul McGann. Please have the Queen chestburster at the end 😃

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!

Alien 3 should have used Alien as a blue print for using Xenomorph in the picture.

Wonderful - can’t wait to watch it

This looks amazing!!! For many years I've waited for news that ALIEN 3 will release on 4K UHD now that ALIENS is on 4K UHD I doubt ALIEN 3 will have the love and attention that this person has put into it... Even if it does come to 4K UHD. Wow, I can't wait to view this... ALIEN 3 was the ending of the trilogy for me, very underrated film.

Looks FANTASTIC! Although I will mention that at 2:06, the rod-puppet alien still has that green-ish tinge that doesn't match the environment or how it looks in the rest of the film. When played by a Tom Woodruff Jr. in the suit, the alien has a red-brown tinge to it. But that's only one shot. The rest of the redone VFX shots look MUCH better than they did officially! The eclipse at 2:07 also looks amazing!

Great trailer, got goosebumps! Can't wait to see the finished project, it looks absolutely beautiful.

Always preferred the dog being the host rather than the ox. The Alien in this film acts more like a dog. This looks like the version i'd have preferred all along.

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.

Excellent trailer cut! And the upscale looks beautiful! Well done, this unfairly regarded film deserves renewed attention.

The perfect continuation of the story, albeit flawed due to studio interference. I love it

I like all the alien films. Yes, the newer ones are worse than the first 2, but it is what we got to work with.

Wow! Looks absolutely amazing! I wish this would get a physical release.

Wow, this is a great trailer!

I hope you keep up with this project, it's a shame that Fox didn't launch a 4k for it's 30th anniversary

Awesome! For now the color correction seems to be too heavy on the red side, but I appreciate your work so far very much! Subbed.

Congratulations, what a fine project. I can't wait to watch it!

Fantastic trailer, I love this.

LOVE UR WORK!!!! Im so excited to see the final result!!!

I’m hyped

"This thing is really pissed off!". Sums it up.

Nobody ever says it, but in actuality Fincher's film mor closely resembles the OG (tonewise an in a 'mood' sense) than any other Alien franchise entry - including the two Rs helmed prequels(!) Whether or not Giler/Hill hugely influenced the final versh we got, it ended up as the kind of missive to *impending, nihilistic dread* that wud never be countenanced by major studios today (esp not ones controlled by Dis-knee!). Bring it on!

Looks like I'll be giving Alien 3 another look.

I like the idea of this, but I’m not a fan of changing the Xenomorph from an Ox to the dog from the theatrical release. There’s a biblical reason it was originally an ox which is reflective of the themes of religion, which is just more interesting to me.

Looks and sounds better than anything streaming at the moment! Alien Resurrection will be waiting..!

Yeeeesss you left the dog in. This looks awesome. The 6.4 out of 10 on IMDb is way too low and needs to be revised.

This trailer is superb. Well done!

Wow nice, Alien³ is my favorite in this amazing franchise
