Unproduced Screenplay for "Alien 3" to become comic book

[Spike Spiegel]

William Gibson's Alien 3 script becomes a facehugger worthy comic

"Following the deadly events of Aliens, the Union of Progressive Peoples intercepts the spaceship carrying the hibernating bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop," according to the Dark Horse announcement last week about the upcoming comic. "But unbeknownst to them, they have also picked up another deadly passenger whose discovery will unleash a race between two governments to weaponize the xenomorph in this horrifying and poignant Cold War-themed thriller."

Speaking of Alien ideas that never saw the light, what do you think of the proposed ending for the first movie? You know, the one where the Alien kills Ripley and sends out a distress call mimicing Dallas' voice.

Neat.
I wonder which one of the versions of this screenplay they gonna use, as there were multiple versions of it. Or will it be some sort of combination?
