Which Alien 3 script is the best? There are quite a few.

I have always been fond of this one:

http://www.horrorlair.com/scripts/alien3_twohy.html

It's a rejected draft of Alien III by David Twohy -- the guy who did "Pitch Black".  It still takes place in a prison, but without all the religious overtones that I thought were a little out of place.

I will let the hardcore Alien fans debate which is best, but I think this one is a fine piece of work.

And Zack -- if you do not do something about that big-ass signature of yours, I'm gonna do...well, something, anyway.

Thanks Bert. I was wondering were the script is for the actual movie? I personally enjoyed Alien 3 as much as the first 2. Can't see why the film is so hated.

Oh, and I fixed my sig. Haha.

Of the rejected scripts, yes, Twohy's is the best but the best Alien3 script overall is the one they shot imo - the Hill-Giler script (unfortunately, that format is a bit off).

Neither can I but I think it's down to the fact that it wasn't Aliens II - you know, a popcorn movie.

Thanks Rob.

Maybe one day Alien 3 will get the credit it deserves.
