After the hellacious shoot that was Alien 3, not to mention disappointing box office returns, it would seem that Brandywine and 20th Century Fox were done with the Alien franchise, and were willing to call it dead in space. But by 1997, Fox still thought it could get more acid blood from the Alien stone. And in order to help with this feat, they would pull from the one region where Alien 3 was successful, Europe, to get director Jean Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen).
Fox also had someone who created their show Buffy The Vampire Slayer by the name of Joss Whedon to pen a script that would somehow bring back Ellen Ripley from the dead in order to once again fight the xenomorphs. With Sigourney Weaver once again coming aboard, it would seem the pieces were all in place to make 1997’s Alien Resurrection a return to form. But can admitted non Alien fan Jeunet and a pre Avengers Whedon bring the Alien franchise back to glory?
Listen in as Garrett is once again joined by Matt and Adam to answer that question. And come back next week, as the boys take a break from the Alien franchise to start a special Halloween themed series. What can it be?
