Lance Henrikson is a national treasure. Absolute legend.

Lance Henriksen's voice is pure gold

It’s Awesome to have all the great characters back who survived from Aliens. This is how it should have been. Killing off Hicks and Newt after everything that had happened in Aliens was a mistake. The film franchise went down hill after that. Henricksen and Biehn are awesome.

What made Hicks likeable was 50% James Cameron writing of that character and 50% of brilliant delivery of Michael Biehn. Biehn being modest about himself is ok, but he did a great job as an actor. And remember that he was a last minute replacement for a different actor in that role.

For those who hated Alien 3, this alternate take is right up your alley. The plot takes a few interesting turns and adds something new to the Mythos. Other human factions outside of Weyland or Seegson, the Alien reproduction cycle and oh yeah, Hicks and Newt made it out alive! Good voice acting, including a convincing sex scene, sound effects from the films and characters you can root for. Also space commies are awesome and I hope they make a return in future Alien audible productions. My only slight is that Ripley and her voice actress get little play in this. You can see why they added the ending of Aliens as a prologue to this one, loved Lauren in Out of the Shadows so hearing her again is just pure unbridled joy. Shout outs for Hicks and Bishop reprising their roles, hearing these two intract with each other is amazing. Like two old friends or veterans. This is a feature length production so it's like you are listening to a film. Highly recommend this for Alien fans.

Lance's voice: not bad - for a human.

Just finished the audible script. Henricksen and Beihn reprising their roles totally did it for me. This story should have been canon.

Man it's so sad to think about what Alien 3 could have been had they adapted Gibsons screenplay, so happy that Audible did this and even got Biehn and Henriksen to reprise their roles.

I've always said that the ending of "Aliens" sets up 'Alien 3' & other sequels to be nothing but a dream. Newt asks Ripley if they can dream while they're inside the hibernation chambers. And she answers 'Yes'. Basically, the events of 'Alien 3', Alien Resurrection' were nothing but Ripley dreaming those events. A sequel can be made with the original actors awakening after being found drifting in space for many decades. Ripley and the others are older. Newt grew up. Lance also has aged as well. The sequel can explain that by saying that an aging process was included in his model to make him more natural to the crew. If not, they can always make him look younger using cgi. But I rather they use the actual actor. The setting for the sequel could have them seek out the original planet of the aliens. Something that Sigourney wanted to see happen. And it's something that Alien Covenant failed to achieve.

THIS WAS THE Version Most of us Expected as a TRUE Alien 3 Sequel,After Listening and reading the comic book,AND JUST SO THANKFUL TO Henrikson And Biehn for bring it to life.

This audio book is so damned good! This audio dramatisation is the closest thing to a movie you will ever get, with sound effects that lets you visualise exaclty what is going on, where they are, hell even the surfaces they are walking on.

Man I can’t believe I’m an Alien fan and I only now just heard of this!

I think Alien 3 Directed by David Fincher was a piece of art, larger than just an action movie, much people didnt apreciate it, but its clearly a masterpiece. The script failed because, i think, there was nothing to be "saved" there was not a colony of people or something a common person could relate to, there was just a bunch of assasins in a space jail, so that immediately take away any kind of emotional conection, in short, it didnt matter if they all died at the hands of that beast, and that from the very beginning takes away the stress factor wich is vital in a story like this.

LOVE this audiobook. Best of the scripts imo. Hope they do a sequel audio drama...

Thank you. Thank you for making this and leaving this behind. We appreciate it.

Looks awesome, glad that they brought Lance & Michael for this

During the 80's I always thought he was Optimus Prime only to find out years laters that is was Peter Cullen. He would've been an excellent substitute.

This truly should’ve been the third movie . God bless

I think that if this version Alien ³ had been realized, it would surely have triumphed becoming a hit at the time. I think the Fox executives and producers were complete stupid and blind in having rejected this extraordinary script, Ridley Scott or James Cameron had directed this film and would have done an excellent job turning it into another masterpiece like the first two films. He would have earned more money at the box office than the other Alien 3 version won and he had concluded in a successful trilogy or tetralogy. In addition, I also really liked the idea of putting Hicks and Bishop as the two film stars played by Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen, would have been similar to the film "Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw" But with aliens, I even think that the carees of both actors Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen would have taken off and climbed as foam. And if David Fincher had made this script it would have been his biggest directorial debut. It's just my opinion.

Looking forward to this!

Alright! I've been waiting for a 3rd film since 1986! But Finally a REAL Alien Story! Took 34 years but thanks Fox!

My fiancé isn’t a science fiction fan but she loves these films and this audio is amazing. I loved the Dark Horse comic.

Really enjoyed this one! Great voice acting, sound effects and a good plot. Hope we see more of the UPP in a future production!

Seriously screw the Audio Book! Some at Fox needs to ask "Why don't We just take the Alien Isolation Game Engine and Crank up the graphics to the max high quality 4K. And make a William Gibson's Alien 3 CGI Film!?" And create a Music Score Soundtrack with it!

It would be interesting to see an animated movie done of this story.

I've always loved the Alien 3 movie, but this is still pretty great as a non-canon alternate story.

Need to check this out some time. Im not really an audiobook fan but ill give this a listen.

I honestly think it would of been cool if the weyland yutani company played a bigger role in an alien installment and have ripley and hicks dealing with the company and possible getting revenge on them for everything that happened to their friends while also having xenomorph action in there as well!

I really preferred this story to what we got for for Alien 3 yet we have both and the expanded universe in comics and novels. So it's a win-win to me👌

Love these guys

I need more, give me more!

This sounds great!

Lance's larnyx is actually an organism from the planet Qo'Ar-7, his former voice was high pitched and nasal.

Will definitely be getting this

amazing!!!!

I loved this audio drama! I see alot of people complaining that there wasn't enough Ripley, remember Sigourney Weaver didn't want to play the character again at this point, this could have been a third movie, it would be fine to have her cameo and we could still have the actual Alien 3 movie we got with some slight changes, as Ripley is sent off alone instead of killing the other characters, making it a forth movie all about her, which would make up for lack of her in this version. Then carry on, resurrection could have been alien 5 etc etc. This could have worked in my opinion. And this more airborne version of the xeno and its way of gestation was basically used and imo, not done aswell in prometheus and Alien covenant anyway.

Gibson's version is EPIC!

Looks ace. I hope they make alien earth wars like a survival horror

Loved it and would have preferred this to what we actually got as Alien 3! It is a different take for a different time and with William Gibson as the author - it's gonna work!

It needed Ripley though

Michael Biehn is hammered…

The tunnel run... MmmmAmazing

Better than any other Alien movie

Luv his voice

i met Lance in person. he is such a cool guy

Bring it on with a movie

I think it's really easy for Lance Henriksen and Michael Biehn to have fallen in love with this project considering how screwed Bishop and Hicks were screwed over in the actual film.

Aliens fan since '79 and after the greatness of Aliens I was completely disappointed with Alien 3. Would not purchase it for years. I have likely only watched it three times hoping my feelings would change on the movie but did not happen. What disgusted me about the movie so much is what happened during the opening credits. Hicks and Newt who struggled to survive so much in Aliens were killed off in their sleep. I was appalled and almost walked out of the theater on that first viewing because I knew I was not going to enjoy the rest of the movie.

This story wouldn't have made for a satisfying third film. Who really wanted to see the main character of the first two films reduced to a cameo? That said, it might have made for a good fourth film if Alien 3 had written out the other survivors of Aliens _without_ killing them. For example, perhaps not every cryotube had to be connected to Ripley's ejected EEV, thus allowing Hicks and Bishop to stay aboard the Sulaco in blissfully ignorant hypersleep until the inevitable sequel. (As for Newt, she is quickly written out of Gibson's story anyway, so she might as well just end up with her fate from Alien 3. Carrie Henn was always going to be too old to reprise the role.)

Fair play to you lance, a true peoples actor.

Me confieso fanático de hueso colorado de la saga de Alien, ojalá y regrese sygourner weaver para una próxima película de esa exitosa saga

Great story, but I can see why they skipped making it, hardly any Ripley and the sets would have cost a lot. The story actual blends very well with the genetics in Prometheus, would have loved to have seen this made.

Never told us to alien egg how to be on ship wall. All time the queen focused on replay and noot after he came out from dropship to wonder bishop.

Please make more alien novels into audio dramas, cold forge and into charybdis

I found the screenplay online when I was working at Netflix’s old call center in Hillsboro, OR back in 2012. I read it and thought “why didn’t they make this movie?” I put this into the cultural zeitgeist, you’re welcome everyone 😂 The Dark Horse comic adaptation is great too.

Saw an ad for this and recognised his voice. It’s the voice actor for Carl in Detroit!

Bishop is the best.

Alien 3 ? Yup they did make a third movie but to me it didn’t have the shock n awe of 1st and 2nd movies those were the best ever out of all 4 movies

I think I'm not mistaken if I take this as part of the canon and not alien 3 and resurrection

It would have been great if newt, Ripley, bishop, and hicks together again

YEEEEEEEEEES!

Wow!

Thank You Mr.Gibson. Your script should've been the one in theaters, not the pile of shit that we saw back in the 90s. Ellen Ripley is my namesake and this script is humbling to me. I believe that the franchise should've ended with ALIENS, but if this was the sequel to it I would've been satisfied. This is Ripley, signing off.

I often wondered what Lance would have been like if he played The Terminator (as intended).

Is a shame that the idiots who wrote the movie killed off the most loved character of the franchise. Corp Hicks! Sure I wish there was a different one out there where Hudson and Vasquez survived with Hicks, vs Ripley. Could you imagine if all 4 with Bishop had survived? Man what a nut buster of a movie that would be. That said Hicks was my favorite of the Marine group, followed by Hudson and Vasquez. That said it great to have Hicks back in the game! They need to keep making these! Maybe on day they can clone Hudson and Vasquez to reunite with Hicks. That would be great... Still they need to trash the alien movies, and start again from Alien 3. Add the Predator Element into the mix, and then we have the makings of several different series here! They definitely need to bring back Hicks though...

Can anybody recommend a similar book to this? Is there anything similar that accompanies other Sci Fi movies, TV shows, franchises type thing? Thanks

Lance is so old.. not many years left :(

ชอบ

It's General Shepherd from Modern Warfare 2!

I never understood why they killed newt and hicks if the alien was in Ripley only her pod needed to be yeeted off the sulaco

Another alien isolation game hopefully that game is a classic.

0:00

Biehn sounds much more energized than he was in Aliens: Colonial Marines

Is this Carl manfredd

Is this guy carl from Detroit become human????

General sheperd

Alien 3 is still ahead of its time, Alien films are meant to be brutal, anybody can die in them.

Alien 3 is the best Alien movie of the franchise as is. The Naysayers are just cowards.

1 was scary, 2 was not really Alien, but action packed. 3 was space aids. 4 was weird. All films after were odd.

Too bad that Neil Blomkamp Alien 3 movie never got off the ground. You can thank Ridley Scott and Fox for that.

Use this for an anime movie.

I honestly felt that this version was too slow paced. Honestly, I would've just used Fincher's script but made two changes. 1. Newt survives the EEV crash and stays in cryosleep for the duration of the film. This way her rescue isn't in vain but she can still be absent from the film's dark atmosphere. 2. The runner is replaced with an alien that is larger and more aggressive than the Queen. This way, you can keep it as one alien while also raising the stakes.

Sigourney Weaver and her political obsession destroyed this franchise when she demanded a stake for Aliens. That's why 3 was cancer and the rest dragged their feet. It's also why the franchise has changed to new names and similar themes, to avoid her draconian anti gun moonbat crazy.

บิช๊อปกับฮิก

I was not a fan of the way William Gibson needed to add some kind of microscopic viral aspect to the Xenomorph reproductive style. The insect metaphor established in the first two films was fine, and I don't know why every film since Aliens needed to mess with that.

⚖ 웃❤유=웃유 + ( (?) )Oo(:-{P)(P-:)oO( ( o Y o )(I)( Y ) ) (B-{O)(((( Don't worry, be happY )))) 🤬😷🤢

Should of made it anime too,

Just cash in crap.

It wasnt great to be honest

Genetic material implies DNA, which is just dumb.

Really wanted to enjoy it. But was completely derivative and then clearly took a huge cue from The Expanse. Be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Then there this other thing I was working on will call it "Super naughts " for now. Kinda of a lost in space thing . These asstronaughts get sucked through a worm hole and hurled too the other side of the universe and crash land on a planenet . So there are two civilizations one is a spartan society that is run by mark wall berg and the other is a tek noir society run Karl pen . And Karl penn has technology that can communicate with earth and mark walberger has technology that can fix their . ship . So the "Super naughts " have to preform task for both waring sides in order to get back home. And mike the situation pops up periodically to trade with the "Supernaughts " in on there missions kinda of like a harry mud or a Quark type charter off start trek . Karl penn charter is half man , half mechanical snake spider . And mark wabergers charter "The General" and his people have be ousted from the teck city and are forced to live in a oasis in the desert and are pretty pissed off about too . Like the spartans vs the Athenians type rivalry . Now I haven't worked out all the details yet, but thats the basese for it . The juice monkeys vs the teck wizards basically and the earthlings are cought in between.

Story is e very thing , special effects are just icing on the cake . Take for example Warlord of mars , the 2012 version could have been much better , the actresses was beautiful yes , and the overlords look kool , but the aliens a looked like "gumby " . But there is a lesser know one on a lower budget with soft core porn actress Tracey lords , that is far superior . Story is every Thing, Witch is why I do like what "AMC" is doing , good stories as a moist cake and some good costumes and special effects as the icing . Their moto "Is Story Matters here " . I think most of the good screen writers these days are writing for video games companies these days . I'm think "Elysuim " was the last semi decent scfi movie I have sceen . The Alien universe. and the blade runner universe are connected . I was thinking a remake of alien and aliens in more of a "mini" series type production . So we could have more in depth "Charter Development" . There was also a really good book I read in my youth called "Alien genocide" how the company wanted the Royal jelly of the queen in order to make supplements for the military . I also thought that there could be a prequel for blade runner called "Nexus 6" how that group of androids rebelled from servitude off world before blade runner . You know what an other key component of these types of movies is ? Lightning thing should be no brighter than "Candle light" when the aliens come out from the back of the hive you can notice them , but at the same time they just blend into the background . Or in terminator things are not too bright so it adds mode and suspenses . Back in the 2000's every thing was all Britney Spears , Justin timber lack tra- la -la "Lame" . Remember watch the "Thing " , "The Fly" and the "Fly2" for the first time ? that scared the shit right out of you . Or Predator with swartzenagger , That was something that was tuff too beat , or Conan when he's on the steps and loops of Obama ,I mean James earl jones head , I read the book and it was that much better . How about total recall when he pull the tracking device out of his head ? running man ? why that must have inspired American gadatiours . Quincidently the same director of total recall did Robo cop . Or how about James carpenter with escape from New York ? I don't think people are really taking time to develop stories any more , thats the most important part of the movie or television show . With out that it just "flops" . Now I do have a lot of Ideas for a either animated or live action version of wu-tang "enter the 36 chambers" witch would have them battling soreres and warlords in a parele demsion , based off some of their work . There is the whole dragon lance Francis I would like too get off the ground, possibly revisit some of the works of Arthur c . clark . There was a movie in the 80's called lords of Crome that might make for good television . But keep every thing "Dark" none of that 2000's pairs hilton lady gaga crap . There are lots of video game franchises that would make for good movie and television as well , pool of radiance , jackal , castelvania live action , contra , legend of Zelda live action , Altered beast , not too mention the Steven king Dark tower franchise . But like Amc says "Story matters here"

I don’t understand the hatred towards alien 3. The ending was great. Compared to resurrection it’s a masterpiece. An absolute joke of a movie

Whoa! Is that really Michael Biehn? Way too much alcohol & coke. Slurring and not quite coherent...sad...very sad.
