EspañolALIEN (FILM SERIES)
The 'Alien film series' is the group of films that take place in the ''Alien'' universe. These always include the tetralogy (quadrilogy) of ''Alien'' (1979), ''Aliens'' (1986), ''Alien³'' (1992) and '' (1997). Sometimes included are the ''Predator'' and ''Alien vs. Predator'' films.
Following is a plot summary for the entire ''Alien'' series. For additional plot details, see the movies' specific pages or The Alien Universe Timeline.
Main articles: Alien (1979 film)
The ''Nostromo'', a towing vessel hauling an enormous ore refinery and 20 million tons of raw ore, with a crew of seven (including Captain Dallas and Warrant Officer Ripley) has set out from the mining colony Solomons on its return to Earth in the year 2122. During the return voyage, the ship’s computer (called Mother or M.U.T.H.E.R.) intercepts a non-human transmission from the moon LV-426. Mother, according to Weyland-Yutani (“the Company”) protocol, alters course and wakes the crew from hypersleep in order to investigate the transmission.
Upon investigation of the transmission source, a derelict alien ship, Executive Officer Kane becomes infected with an alien parasite. On orders of Captain Dallas, Kane is brought back on board and treated by Science Officer Ash, who is, unknown to the others, an android. The crew members return to the ''Nostromo'' from LV-426, hoping to return to Earth as soon as possible. After a brief period, an alien emerges from Kane and proceeds to kill all human crew members except Ripley. Ash, the android, was terminated by the other crew members after his attempted murder of Ripley, an action he took in defense of the alien species.
Ripley activates ''Nostromo's auto-destruct sequence and escapes in the shuttle. The ''Nostromo'' and its cargo are destroyed in a series of explosions, but Ripley soon discovers that the alien had also entered the shuttle. Half-dressed and nervously singing "Lucky Star", Ripley kills the alien by blasting it out of the shuttle's airlock and burning it with the shuttle’s jets. Ripley sets the shuttle's course for Earth and returns to hypersleep.
Director Ridley Scott has stated that he did not really think that ''Alien'' required this tweaking, and that the term "Director's Cut" was used for marketing reasons only (and inconsistently as well). In the ''Alien'' Quadrilogy materials, he goes out of his way to state his preference for the original: "rest easy, the original 1979 theatrical version isn't going anywhere". He recut the film himself, only after viewing the studio's attempt to do so; a version that he felt was "too long" and ruined the film's pacing.
A brief rundown of the restored footage or cut scenes, in the order that the scenes appear:
★ The ''Nostromo'' crew listening to the alien transmission
★ Kane took out his weapon in the egg chamber.
★ The scene in which Ripley asks Ash if Mother has analyzed the alien transmission (and in which Ash replies “No”) has disappeared. Instead we see Ripley simply playing with the computer console and sitting down while a binary sequence displays on the computer screen.
★ Lambert slapping Ripley for refusing to let them bring Kane back aboard the ship.
★ Some dialogue deleted during the scene where Ripley confronts Captain Dallas in the corridor over letting Ash keep the dead alien facehugger. Dallas' lines about the replacement of ''Nostromo's original science officer by Ash at the last minute have disappeared. This interesting deletion removes a bit of foreshadowing that all is not as it seems with the character of Ash.
★ Cut of the scene where Ash leaves the infirmary after Ripley has confronted him for breaking quarantine procedures.
★ A handful of shots added to Brett's death scene, including one clearly showing the alien dangling from above, and another where Parker and Ripley rush into the room just after the alien grabs Brett. As they look upward, dripping blood covers them.
★ Cut of a brief sequence showing Dallas querying the ship's computer, Mother, about his odds of killing the alien, and getting no reply, before he enters the ventilation ducts.
★ A new brief shot of Lambert added as the crew regroup and weigh their options after Dallas' death.
★ Restoration of a portion of the film's arguably most famous deleted scene — Ripley discovering the alien's nest and the bodies of Dallas and Brett. But the Director's Cut does not include Ripley's lines to the dying Dallas ("What can I do?" and "I'll get you out of there") before, at his request, she kills him with the flamethrower.
★ A quick extension of a shot as Ripley discovers the alien blocking the path to the shuttle; the alien appears staring at Jones the cat in his catbox, then it swats the catbox out of its way. This extended shot had never aired before, even on DVD.
The Director's Cut also deleted brief snippets of footage:
★ Some of the conversation between Ripley and Dallas concerning Ripley's distrust of Ash
★ Part of the sequence where Ripley gains entry to Mother
★ Parker going through the ship alone and watching out for the alien
★ An almost unnoticeable cut as the last three surviving crew members round a bend in the corridors of the ship
Main articles: Aliens (1986 film)
Found in the year 2179 after 57 years drifting in space, Ellen Ripley returns to human civilization. Upon recounting the events of the ''Nostromo'' and LV-426, she learns that a group of settlers has recently moved to LV-426 and set up Hadley's Hope, a space-colony. After dismissing Ripley’s claims as ridiculous, the Company (specifically Carter Burke) sends colonists to the derelict ship to investigate Ripley’s report of an alien species. Shortly thereafter contact with the colony ceases. In response, the Company sends Ripley, a group of United States Colonial Marines, and Carter Burke to investigate LV-426 aboard the vessel ''Sulaco''.
Arriving at LV-426, Ripley and her companions soon discover that aliens have overrun the colony and that all settlers have died, except for a young girl nicknamed Newt. The rescue team becomes trapped in the settlement, where hundreds of aliens hunt them. Their mission is further complicated by Ripley's discovery that Burke intends to bring one of the aliens back for the Company's bio-weapons division.
Eventually, the aliens kill all those barricaded at Hadley's Hope except for those who eventually retreat to the Sulaco: Ripley, Newt, Corporal Hicks, and the android, Bishop. After a brief confrontation with the ''Alien Queen'' aboard the "Sulaco", Ripley sets a course for Earth and the crew enters hypersleep.
The ''Aliens'' Special Edition added approximately 17 minutes to this film. Several small additions to the plot were presented, including:
★ Ripley has a daughter and learns of her death upon arrival at the Gateway Station.
★ The events taking place on LV-426 immediately before infestation.
★ Extra battle scenes involving the marines' robot sentries.
★ More scenes of Newt and Ripley bonding.
★ Hicks and Ripley's exchange before she goes to rescue Newt ("See you, Hicks." "Dwayne. It's Dwayne." "Ellen." "Don't be gone long, Ellen.")
Main articles: Alien³
The movie begins with one alien facehugger emerging during the crew's hypersleep on the ''Sulaco'' and impregnating Ripley with an alien queen-embryo. The cover of Ripley's hypersleep-chamber cuts the facehugger, and the release of its acidic blood caused a fire on board, which leads to the ''Sulaco'' jettisoning an escape shuttle towards a penal-colony planet, Fiorina 161, inhabited only by a small number of extremely violent and dangerous offenders. The rescuers who recover the escape-vehicle discover that of all the humans, only Ripley has survived the crash. Meanwhile, a colony dog becomes impregnated with an alien embryo, shortly after which an alien emerges from the animal and begins hunting and killing inmates.
Upon learning about the alien on the planet, the company sends a "rescue ship" to Fiorina 161. However, it quickly becomes clear that they care only about capturing the alien, not about saving the inmates. In these circumstances, Ripley convinces the inmates to kill the aliens (including the one inside her) before the company ship arrives.
After the destruction of the alien using a lead smelter, Ripley sacrifices herself to prevent the company from harvesting the queen embryo from her body, saving countless human lives in doing so. The fate of the sole survivor of Fiorina 161, Prisoner Morse, remains unknown.
The ''Alien³'' Special Edition added approximately 35 minutes of new or alternate footage to this film. Several changes to the plot ensued, including:
★ A completely different opening in which Clemens finds Ripley washed up on the beach.
★ Impregnation of an ox, rather than a dog.
★ The temporary capture of the Xenomorph, its confinement inside the toxic waste dump site, and subsequent release by Golic, whom it kills.
★ The alien queen embryo appeared on the CAT scan, but not when Ripley sacrifices herself.
★ Significantly more interaction occurs between Warden Aaron and Ripley.
Main articles: Alien: Resurrection
Two hundred years later, around the year 2379, a United System Military (USM) scientist has cloned Ripley several times by using blood samples from Fiorina 161 rediscovered in the year 2356. Upon successfully cloning Ripley, whose DNA had intermingled with the alien species her body had hosted, the experiment successfully develops an intact alien and extracts it from her chest.
In the year 2381, a small ship called the ''Betty'', manned by smugglers, brings several kidnapped space-travelers, still in hypersleep, to a secret USM research vessel called the ''USM Auriga''. The smugglers do not realize the reason for the kidnappings, but they later discover that the USM scientists will impregnate the travelers with alien embryos. The experiment quickly runs awry when the aliens break loose and begin killing everyone on the ship. While chaos ensues, an android, Call, changes the course of the ship (previously heading to Earth as per default emergency procedures) to crash-land in an attempt at destroying the aliens on board in the process.
The ''Auriga'' crashes into Africa and explodes, presumably killing the aliens on board. A few survivors: Ripley’s clone (#8), Call, and two members of the ''Betty'' crew (Johner and Vriess) manage to escape the ''Auriga'' before its crash-landing, using the ''Betty''. As the ''Betty'' descends towards Earth, Ripley and Call contemplate their next move.
It has been rumored for years that there will be an ''Alien 5''. James Cameron, the maker of ''Aliens'', started work on a story for ''Alien 5'', but when he heard of ''Aliens vs. Predator'', he thought that the crossover would "kill the validity of the franchise" and stopped work on his script. Once he saw the film, though, he liked it and ranked it as the third best of the franchise.[1]
There have been a number of spin-offs in other media including a large number of crossovers within the Alien fictional universe. These include:
As well the novelizations based on the various films (including Alan Dean Foster's) there are a number of novel series:
★ ''Aliens''
★ ''Aliens vs. Predator''
Numerous comic appearances include:
★ ''Aliens''
★ ''Alien Loves Predator'', a spoof webcomic
★ ''Aliens vs. Predator''
★ ''Aliens vs. Predator vs. The Terminator''
★ ''Batman/Aliens''
★ ''Green Lantern Versus Aliens''
★ ''Judge Dredd vs. Aliens''
★ ''Superman vs. Aliens''
★ ''Superman & Batman vs. Aliens & Predator''
★ ''WildC.A.T.s/Aliens''
2006 saw the release of a brand new arcade-shooter video game based on the Alien franchise. This is called Aliens: Extermination. The plot revolves around Colonial Marines arriving on a planet infested with Aliens, who are being guarded by synthetic humans (a la Bishop, but evil). This game is a first person shooting game for 2 players.
Sega struck a deal in December 2006 with Fox Licensing with regards to their lucrative Alien film franchise. The new agreement, as detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, allows Sega to develop multiple games for new generation consoles and PCs. With a first-person shooter and a role-playing game already under development. Mike Gallo, senior producer of the Alien series at Sega, promises that the developers will go out of their way to "tie the games into the films in unique ways." He also says they'll look at source materials and the films for inspiration. The first title is due in 2008 -- that's when Sega will be "taking licensing to the next level", he says.
