Alien 3’s Original Director Reveals His Wild Idea For The Xenomorphs, And I Wish It Would’ve Happened



The Alien franchise has long been a cornerstone of sci-fi and horror movies, captivating audiences with its suspense, groundbreaking effects and unforgettable characters. Ridley Scott‘s 1979 film introduced the terrifying xenomorph and its relentless pursuit of the Nostromo’s crew. James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, Aliens, expanded the universe with an action-packed narrative featuring Colonial Marines battling swarms of the deadly creatures. These two films set a high bar, blending horror and action in a way that deeply resonated with fans, inspiring continued attempts to recreate their magic. While Alien 3 is often seen as a lesser entry, the original director had a wild idea for the xenomorphs that I wish had come to fruition.

That third installment, which was released in 1992, faced numerous production challenges and script rewrites, leading to a movie that many felt did not live up to the expectations set by its predecessors. It was directed by David Fincher, in his directorial debut, who famously clashed with the studio. The film took a darker, more introspective turn, focusing on themes of death and sacrifice within the confines of a prison planet.
