Dutton, Lance Henriksen, Paul McGann, Brian Glover, Ralph Brown and Danny Webb. A sequel to the 1986 film Aliens, the story has an escape pod from the Colonial Marine starship Sulaco crash-landing on a refinery/prison planet, killing everyone on board except Lieutenant Ellen Ripley. Soon after her arrival, an Alien is born in the prison and goes on a rampage, while Ripley later discovers there is also an Alien growing inside her. Alien3 had a difficult production, with a confused pre-production period during which multiple screenwriters and directors became involved in the project, while shooting eventually started at Pinewood Studios without a finished script. David Fincher was brought into the project very late in its development, after a proposed version written and directed by Vincent Ward fell through. Fincher had little time to prepare, and the experience making the film proved agonizing for him, as he had to endure incessant creative interference from the studio. The film was Fincher's debut in big budget film making, and at the relatively young age of 27 he had to shoot the film without having a finalized script. Additionally, Fincher was under pressure to create a film worthy of the revered Alien movies that had gone before him, directed by Ridley Scott and James Cameron. Upon completion, the studio dismantled and reworked the film without Fincher's consent, and even released a misleading teaser trailer that suggested it would take place on Earth. The film was released to mixed reviews, and was generally regarded as inferior to the two installments that preceded it. It under-performed financially at the United States box office, although it went on to earn over $100 million outside of North America and was considered a financial success; some have since expressed the opinion that European audiences in particular were more receptive to the film's bleak, nihilistic tone, which Americans found off-putting. In the years since its release, opinion on the film has improved noticeably, particularly with regards to the extended Assembly Cut released in 2003, and it has gone on to gain a strong cult following. It was followed by a further sequel, Alien Resurrection (1997).
