In the beginning, it was supposed to be Dan Hedaya who got sucked out into space.
Not a very heroic ending, Scott added no doubt with a macabre chuckle but dramatic.
The blood eats a hole in the window, the script reads.
They wanted to do a movie with a clone of Newt as their heroine.
A young girl imbued with special skills and strengths to take out a particular enemy.
There is always going to be a shittyAlienmovie out there, he said toTotal Filmin 2013.
A shittyAlienmovie with my name on it.
What did change considerably, however, is the final act.
Whedons initial idea for the final alien threat was quite different, too.
But the difference here is that the ship ultimately crash lands on Earth in the middle of a forest.
Ripley faces an uncertain future, but finally, shes back home.
The first one was in the forest with the flying threshing machine, Whedon toldIn Focusmagazine in 2005.
The second one was in a futuristic junkyard.
The third one was in a maternity ward.
And the fourth one was in the desert.
Thats not Earth; thats not going to give people that juice.
But I still wrote them the best ending I could that took place in the desert.
Eight years later, Whedon still seemed bitter about how the Newborn turned out.
Pretty sure that stage direction never existed in any of my drafts.
Theres a big story to tell in another sequel, Whedon added in the same article.
The fourth film is really a prologue to a movie set on Earth.
Imagine all the things that can happen.
Gradually, though, interest in following that story dwindled as various personnel drifted away.
Im not interested in making someone elses franchise anymore, Whedon wouldlater state.
Any movie I make will be created by me.
In more recent years, Whedons beenunequivocalabout the wayResurrectionwas made, particularly in terms of casting and design.
It was mostly a matter of doing everything wrong.
They said the lines… mostly… but they said them all wrong.
And they cast it wrong.
And they designed it wrong […] They did everything wrong.
Without necessarily realizing it, Whedon had laid the groundwork his much-loved sci-fi show,Firefly.
And it just stopped me in my tracks.
I was like, Yes, my pony did its trick again!
I really never thought of it until somebody pointed it out to me.
WithoutAlien: Resurrection,maybe geek movie history would have been very different…
