Alien: Special Edition

[Ghostboy]

The best reason to see Jeepers Creepers 2 (and possibly the only reason) is because it's the first place to see the trailer for the Alien reissue on the big screen. It's a very well cut trailer, but more importantly, seeing it in full 2:35:1 on a big screen is, at least for someone who's only seen the movie on video/DVD, just amazing. It looks brand new. It's so nice to see that old fashioned FX are still perfectly comparable to CGI -- model spaceships rules.

I hope they put out Aliens next year.

Man... I'm not gonna go see Jeeper Creepers for this, but I am definately available to see Alien in the theater again.

I saw a midnight showing of it on the big screen years back, but the print was pretty nasty... I remember, at the begining, they showed an outer space shot and there were these green dots all over the print, popping in and out and my friend screamed "AAAAAAGGHHH SPACE BEES!"

hahahah! no one better use that for their signature cuz its mine, all mine i say!

It's not going to be CGI-fied, is it?  No walkie-talkies for Ripley.

I've never seen the Alien films, except for parts on TV, so I can't wait to see it on the big screen.

Director's Cut trailer

[Just Withnail]

Is it right for them to sell this as The Scariest Movie Ever Made? I mean, by today's standards, can you even call it a horror movie? I don't think the teenage audience will be very open to such a slow paced film like Alien.

[oakmanc234]

True. Plus, wasn't that the same tagline for the 'Exorcist' re-release? 'The Scariest Movie Ever Made'?

I saw a trailer on this and it looked really cool. good movie to see in theaters.

Watch a new featurette with never-before-seen footage. Then watch Ripley discover "The Nest."

You'll get the first glimpse of Veronica Cartwright and Sigourney Weaver scuffling outside Ash's Med Lab. That, and a few more quick but never-before-seen shots from Alien as they're entwined by the hand of Ridley Scott into Alien: The Director's Cut.

The featurette, which runs about three and a half minutes, also includes a new interview with Scott and a concludes with a snapped-up, neo-pop round of editing that just has to be seen.

Meanwhile, a teaser trailer for Paul Anderson's Alien vs. Predator is expected to be attached to "The Director's Cut" on the 29th.

To promote the upcoming theatrical release of Alien: The Director's Cut, 20th Century Fox is giving away posters autographed by director Ridley Scott to anyone who spots one in their local theater.

The studio will be distributing 20 signed posters to undisclosed theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Washington D.C., Houston, Seattle, Atlanta and Toronto. The first moviegoer to notice one on display and notify the theater manager will have the chance to take the collectible home.

it would be nice to know when they will be released, damnit, now i gotta run around town, and besides, thats not really fair because the guys/gals who put the posters up can just tell a friend/brother/sig. other and have them get it, damnit.

Alien: The Director's Cut: Bad news - Fox has apparently cut the number of prints for the re-issue in the US from 1200 prints to only 350, not a good sign. Also, Ridley Scott talked about the film recently in a video interview with Apple.Com
