MemberOvomorphJune 30, 20112402 Views5 RepliesJon Sapihts, who wrote the original script for the Alien prequel before Damon Lindelof was hired for a re-write, also penned a script called Shadow 19. Just read it online. Awesome. It has the military and action elements of Aliens plus a terraforming ship named Prometheus. Obviously Ridley isn’t making that film because Sapihts wrote another script for Prometheus and Lindelof rewrote that. Anyway it’s still a great read.

Hey Astro,
I read the script the other day. I really hope they changed about 90% of what John wrote I didn't like it. Original Aliens as Mantis type creatures that live in huts? Plus Prometheus being an unmanned terraforming ship with a Matter Copier at the heart. I can't buy it.
