Alien: The Original Screenplay
by Cris Seixas
Get to see the original alien script come to live on the pages before the Alien movie we all love and care for was created.
And it's pretty solid.
A lot of the major points stick. The chest bursting scene, the very end, even the initial mission idea and going on to the planet. There's a few major changes, like taking away the Android COMPLETELY which I absolutely loved in the movie but understandable here. Also the designs are way different, and while I think the designs in the movie are perfect, I actually really enjoyed the designs here, slimy and nasty which is pretty awesome. Also Ripley is not here, instead it was Roby, a young Black Woman who hits most of the notes from the movie but a cool difference none the less.
It won't cover much new ground, but seeing it come to life before the movie was formed is pretty cool as a original script becomes a comic. A 3 out of 5.
