The studio fucked around with Fincher so much that it affected the outcome of the product. We all know how good Fincher is and, personally I look past the interference and enjoy the movie on its own terms I guess.
I have read the Cadigan/Gibson screenplay also and would love to see that on the big screen.
I dunno if youβre still on Reddit, but, r/LV426 loves to talk about this stuff
I came across r/LV426 looking for the screenplay. I don't really go on reddit anymore but I might sub anyway.
I think it's so funny they picked Fincher when they wanted the movie made as quickly as possible. He was less of a known quantity then but he's up there with Kubrick in terms of how many takes he's willing to do for a scene.
I loved the very Fincher cam at the end of the Alien's POV. It's a great cheap way to get that feeling of terror without needed to have the Alien on screen like a trick Carpenter would have used in an early movie
