After spending years in Development Hell, the production of ALIEN 3 finally moved forward once first-time feature director David Fincher came on board.
But it wasn't smooth sailing from there. The story of ALIEN 3's production is one of a legendary disaster, one where studio interference turned the film into one that was so compromised that its director disowns it to this day.
In this episode, we will discuss all of the trials and tribulations that Fincher and his cast and crew went through while making ALIEN 3 and we'll discuss its legacy not only in the annals of science fiction, but in the scope of Fincher's overall career. Is ALIEN 3 the unmitigated disaster that many (including its director) would have us believe it is, or was it simply misunderstood by audiences who saw it in 1992?
Up Next: David Fincher — Rules of the Game, Part 3: SE7EN.
Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.
This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, and Justin Bishop & Todd A. Davis.
