ALIEN and OUTLAND are brothers.

When I was a kid, I used to imagine that the stories of ALIEN ‘79 and OUTLAND ’81, existed in the same “universe.” The two productions are so closely linked in “look,” production crew…and Jerry Goldsmith composed the musical score for both. I would love see what Ridley Scott’s version of OUTLAND would like. I can envision Dallas having to break up a fight caused by Parker and Brett, over a dancer/stripper…mixed up with a drugged out miner in the Leisure Club/Saloon at the mining colony CON AM 27 on Io (Eye-Oh). I still imagine that the ‘Nostromo’ crew, minus Ash, could’ve made shorter freight runs to Jupiter’s moon Io, to pick up and haul mineral ore back to earth or off-world…prior to their run-in with the “perfect organism.” Anyways…just a thought. I was wondering if any of you felt the same way. ~N
