From SFX: Alien Anthology Overview
With the 30th anniversary of Alien rolling round just last year, and the 25th anniversary of Aliens sneaking up faster than a Facehugger in search of a gob, there could be no better time to celebrate the seminal science fiction saga.
To mark the occasion Twentieth Century Fox have applied all the bells and whistles� and then some to the Alien Anthology, released on Blu-ray 25 October. Earlier this week SFX was invited to take a sneak peek at what to expect from the Anthology - and we can tell you a new name isn't the only thing that's changed (though we are gutted 'Quadrilogy' never caught on).
As well as shiny new transfers (including a colour-corrected, de-grained and Cameron approved Aliens that looks better than it even did on the big screen), the unflinching Alien 3 documentary is presented with 30 minutes of previously cut footage (including an onset Fincher outburst). . . www.sfx.co.uk
