Here's a possible outline for a sequel to Alien Resurrection. I'll release it in parts, so as not to swamp you with it all at once... P.S. Wait for the reveals and the twist at the end.

Examining the tattered clothes on the refugees dead body they uncover a military USM uniform, the name badge states "Di Stephano". Meanwhile, a hooded figure mingles among the crowd of a bustling market selling scrap metal, contaminated fruit and veg, and grilled rats. At one of the stalls the hooded figure picks up a jerrycan with the word "MILK" scratched on it and throws two packs of cigarettes to the stalls owner, whom nods in acceptance.

The bartender pours him a glass of dirty water, filled with sediment, and an oil film resting on the surface. The Rider, his hood up, places a six shooter pistol on the bar, spins it and pushes it towards the bartender. The bartender takes the pistol and the glass, returning with a clean glass of bourbon. The Rider gulps down the bourbon before lowering his hood and asking the bartender in a raspy, deep voice "I need a mechanic." The Rider is revealed to be Johner. The Bartender replies "Up the road, but watch it he's expensive." Johner leaving the saloon walks up the road to the double doors of the mechanics garage, a painted sign "Grease Monkey". Johner tries the man sized door to the garage and enters into the darkened interior, creaking on floorboards and banging into empty tins and jars. As Johner looks back towards the door he feels the unmistakable impression of a sawed off double barrel shotgun in his back. Rolling his eyes as if in disappointment, Johner spins round disarming his would be attacker, and turning their weapon against them.

Back at the Market we see Call wiping her face and selling the jerrycan back to the stall owner, whom lets her have two partly rotten apples in return. As Call bites into one of the apples (placing the other in her pocket) she turns and sees a tall hooded figure exiting a building, looking to and fro cautiously. Call, raising her hood, immediately spurred into action follows the hooded figure from a distance through the market. Eventually the hooded figure realises they are being followed and quickens their pace, Call chases after them before losing them at a junction. Glancing back and forth Call looks for the hooded figure backing towards an alley way. A hand grabs Call and pulls her into the alley way, slams her against the wall and throws down her hood, before stepping back in surprise. The hooded figure drops their hood, revealing Ripley 8 "Call, you stupid bitch, what are you doing here?" Call, concern in her voice "Your in danger, Distephano, he...". Ripley, anxious now, cuts her off "I know, and you've just led them to me!" Call, confused exclaims "I wasn't followed. I know I -". Before Call can finish her sentence the now familiar masked and armed USM soldiers converge on the alley way. Ripley 8 and Call defend themselves as the soldiers attack using close quarters unarmed combat. Call is easily subdued, but Ripley is able to incapacitate two of the soldiers before also being subdued. Call and Ripley caught, the commanding officer steps into the scene, puffing on his cigar. To Ripley 8 "Well, well, well, I would've thought you'd go down harder than that Officer". Call, angry and struggling "Who the fuck are you?" The commanding officer, signals to his men with his free hand. As the soldiers use the butt of their guns to knock Call and Ripley 8 unconcious, the commanding officer replies "Your new master, bitch."

Spartacus said - [i]I like the idea of a Dream Sequence in which Ripley8 sees something that is not possible...I like it a lot, because dreams often do this, present things in an illogical format that we have to sort out afterwards for ourselves and what the hidden meaning is for us in our own lives[/i] Now see, this kinda sums up how I like to look on the ridiculous events of the ALIEN 3 and ALIEN RESURRECTION movies in the first place - they're merely some 'nightmarish dreams' seen by the hypersleeping 'original' Ripley once the ALIENS movie ends!... Great stuff so far Snorkelbottom. This would have made for a very neat sequel to the existing ALIEN RESURRECTION movie, judging by the description so far, and I'm very keen to see how this pans out eventually.

But this speculative storyline would certainly have made for a decent movie follow-up to ALIEN RESURRECTION Snorkelbottom, and I'm keen to see how it all pans out. If this is your own work, then I'm very impressed with your writing/storytelling skills.

I am blown away by what you wrote "C" and it is the first plausible way I have ever seen or read of negating those 2 films. That said, I really Really like the extended cut of Alien 3. Thought most of it was remarkably better than the theatrical release. I admit I had issues with Resurrection as well, especially it's ending which I hated and that creature which I also hated, but I liked some of the other ideas it contained...some of them were highly original. I also Loved The Betty, just loved that ship. Loved the whole idea of an unregistered ship as well and a crew trying to survive on scraps. For me, and IMO, just to call yourself an ALIEN franchise fan, anyone that is, you have to have been able to find at least one thing to like in all 4 of those films!!!

However, I'd like to see them in a very different context in future...so I've decided to give you a little sneak preview about something I've been working on recently, that I hope to organise at some point this year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA ...and a similar request will be sent to certain 'fan-editors' at the same time concerning my proposal for an ALIEN RESURRECTION cut where the 'actual' Ripley survives that movie too... But I'm very interested in how Snorkelbottom's 'Ripley 8' gets on in his story, lol!

It's just that I'd rather watch these particular movies in a very different context in future, so that I can like them a little better...which is why I've been trying to do something about it recently. So I've decided to let you have a sneak preview of what I'm hoping to organise later this year - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA[/url] And I'll be contacting certain 'fan-editor's with a similar request concerning an alternative ALIEN RESURRECTION cut I've got in mind too...which would again show the 'actual' Ripley surviving the movie... But in the meantime, I'm certainly interested to find out what happens to Snorkelbottom's 'Ripley 8' character here... :)

Well here I have been lurking in the shadows since my horrific failure of a discovery in my Alien novel, just waiting for something to invoke me into logging in and saying something. And while there has been much that has tugged at me to jump in and say something (mostly upset and dissaproval, which I have succesfully stoped my self from doing), this here has made me absolutely have to jump into the converstion. Snork.... I have to do this... I am so sorry... ok, no I am not lol.... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY 100% BRILLIANT! OMG man, this would make an amazing movie. WOW WOW WOW, this just could (if it was done) single handedly save the franchise. Why you are sharing it here and not getting the copyright and sending it to the studios is beyond me. I just hope you do go forward with this in one way or another. Keep up the good work! I am looking forward to your next installment!

If you're a technically adept 'fan-editor' Spartacus...then I'd certainly be interested in taking things further with you on this project. But there's a few important things that I require for this project, before I proceed further with anyone - 1. Although I'd be very pleased if an NTSC DVD version could be done eventually, I'm U.K.-based and was intending approaching certain 'fan-editor's who are capable of cutting a PAL version for this initially. Because the timings between the 2 formats are different, I need someone who can cut the PAL region discs because I need to be able to e-mail EXACT timings/details of my various alterations to whoever I end up collaborating with...or things will get too complicated and awkward to relay properly. What I'm really hoping for though, is someone who has the ability to re-cut a BLU-RAY version of this, ideally. 2. I need someone who is capable of doing good clean cuts, and also able to keep the original 5.1 sound too. There is nothing in my 'cut-list' that will cause any jarring match-ups when it comes to the altered shots or the soundtrack, or I wouldn't be bothering to do this...so everything should be reasonably straightforward for whoever follows my details. Ideally, it would be good if they are capable of doing some very simple colour tweaking to part of the intro. for me too, but if not, that's okay. 3. As this will take up a fair bit of my time to relay over various e-mails, I need someone with patience who is willing to agree to do the EXACT cuts I ask for during the process, without changing things. I'm in no particular hurry, and I realise it will take someone as long as it takes to do this in their spare time. So let me know how much of these criteria you fit Spartacus, and we'll take it from there. No worries if you think it's beyond you, as there's others that may possibly be able to tackle this eventually.

The plot thickens and the twists, they keep coming... Ripley 8’s attention is snapped back to immediate matters when the door to the cells suddenly opens. She quickly hides her hand in her longcoat pocket. As two synthetic soldiers wheel in Vriess’ wheelchair, Ripley 8 half smiles to herself, wondering whether Vriess is truly, permanently healed, or not. Looking at the wheel chair as the synthetic soldiers wheel it into place Ripley 8 smiles again, thinking of the powerless computer panel. The computer panel, laid on the bed in plain site. Standing up Ripley 8 distracts the synthetic soldiers as she escorts them to the door, “Do you have a pair of gloves I could borrow?” Sometime later, the corridors of the station are quiet, very quiet. Down one of the corridors a shuffling sound can be heard, which grabs the attention of one of the synthetic soldiers guarding the groups cell. The synthetic soldier looks at its partner before raising its weapon into the ready position and stepping silently towards the noise. The shuffling gets gradually louder and louder, becoming the fast flurry of footsteps. The synthetic soldier, flicks off the safety switch on his weapon and steps around the corner at a wide apex. Vriess comes belting down the corridor at full speed, barely missing the synthetic soldier and uses the wall to stop himself. He is clearly out of breath but the smile on his face reaches from ear to ear. Vriess, ecstatic at his new found freedom stretches his legs and jumps up and down on the spot as Call and Johner casually walk down the corridor to meet him, both laughing at their friend. Johner turns to Call, “You know, I think I preferred him wheels.” Call, rolling her eyes, “Leave him alone Johner,” looking at Vriess warmly, “I’ve never seen him so happy.” Johner, rubbing his shaved head, “Still, he carries on with this running and I’ll break his legs.” Call shakes her head. Despite their predicament it amazes her that Johner, as usual, seems his usual, crass self. Call looks at the synthetic soldier as it opens the door to their cell, behind them their escort waits, guns lowered. Call sighs, pondering why the Major said they were all guests, when they are obviously prisoners. Entering into the cell behind Vriess and Johner, the door closed her, Call laughs as Vriess jumps up onto the top of one of the bunk beds gleefully stating, “I call top bunk.” Johner sitting on the bunk below looks at the wheelchair, “Hey roadrunner, want your wheels back?” Vriess ignores him. Call too looks at the wheelchair and notices a panel at the back is open. Leaning over slightly she realises the battery has been removed. Looking over to the other bunk bed Call sees Ripley 8 transfixed on the old computer panel, flicking switches and pressing buttons furiously, her hands covered in shiny leather gloves. Gently sitting next to Ripley 8, Call looks over her shoulder, but Ripley 8 tilts the screen away from Call’s view. Curious, Call enquires, “Do you need a hand Ripley?” “No help. Not help.” Ripley 8 snaps, then mutters, “Not help. No. Not help.” Call, confused, “Okay, if you’re sure?” “Warning. Stay away.” Again, Ripley 8 snaps and then mutters rapidly, “Bad news. Not help. Need Help. Need to stay away. Wrong. So wrong. I was so wrong. No. It was so wrong.” She turns to call, tears in her eyes, “I’m so sorry.” Jolting Call, she snaps, “Stay away.” She returns to furiously tapping buttons and flicking switches. Call, clearly concerned turns to Johner and Vriess, the smiles wiped from their faces and replaced with frowns. Johner stands up and slowly walks towards Ripley 8, cautious not to startle her, “Ripley, you okay?” Snapping upright Ripley pins Johner to the wall, grabbing him by the neck with her free hand. She cocks her head to the left and then slowly cocks it to the right, and then slowly raises her head. Her face less than an inch from Johners, Ripley 8 slowly and seductively opens her mouth, leaving it agape momentarily. Suddenly she darts her tongue at Johner’s cheek and licks him. The sides of her tongue slightly ridged. Confused and fearful, instead of aroused Johner looks at her wide eyed, unable to speak. Ripley 8, releasing her grip, “You want to help me,” before Johner can reply she snaps “leave me alone!” Johner edgily retreats back to his bunk as Ripley 8 returns to her furious endeavours with the old computer panel, her repeated, nonsensical mutterings creating an unsettled atmosphere in the cell. In the observation room, as the Doctor compares notes and findings the Major stares at the Queen Alien, whom seems to be returning his gaze. Curious, the Major steps forward to the railing of the platform. The Queen whispers a cautionary hiss. The Major unphased lifts his cigar to his mouth and inhales, “After nearly 500 years we finally get what we set out to achieve, and we get no gratitude.” The Doctor, still engrossed in his work, “I don’t think she likes you very much?” “She doesn’t have to. She’s already given us the key to controlling her kind.” The Major replies callously, before asking “Are we ready for phase 3?” “Synthetic replication of her pheromones should be complete within…” The Doctor checks one of his displays, “…26 hours. Then once we’ve tested its effectiveness…” The Major concludes the sentence, “…We can then command them to do as we wish.” He looks again at the Queen, a grin forming on his face “Perfect. Absolutely perfect.”

The plot indeed thickens... @ Spartacus - If you happen to be a technically adept 'fan-editor'...then I would certainly be interested in considering your offer of help. However, there's a few things that I really require of any potential collaborator on my proposal, that need to be considered first - 1. Ideally, I'm really looking for someone who is capable of doing a BLU-RAY version of my proposed version. However, I'm certainly interested in just doing a good quality DVD cut if need be...but I need someone who can do a PAL format version. There are different 'timings' between the NTSC and PAL DVD formats...and since I'm from the U.K., I need to be able to relay the exact PAL timings of the 'cut-list' I have in mind, otherwise things may get too complicated and confusing for us both when it comes to e-mailing the details. 2. Although my solution involves reasonably straightforward cuts using existing footage, they will need to done using a mixture of 3 different individual BLU-RAY sources (or 3 different PAL DVD sources, if need be. Yes, 3 of them)...and although I don't need any fancy 'menu's made for this, I'm looking for someone who's capable of good, clean cuts and able to keep the 5.1 soundtrack...unlike some 'fan-edits' I've come across. 3. I also need a collaborator who is PATIENT and willing to stick to my EXACT 'cut-list' (which I'm happy to explain all my reasons for in detail, if need be) throughout this project, once it's started. All the descriptions and exact timings would be sent over various e-mails between us, and I'm in no rush whatsoever to get this done quickly. I just want it done with a little care and attention to get it right, as it will eventually be made available for anyone else that is interested too, through certain channels. So if you think you can match this criteria Spartacus, and are still interested, let me know here, and I'll take things further. No worries if not, and keep your fingers crossed that I can contact someone who can. Thanks.

The plot indeed thickens... @ Spartacus - If you're happen to be technically adept at 'fan-editing', then I'd certainly be willing to consider your offer of help on the project I mentioned on page 2 of this topic. However, just so you know, there's a few certain things that I require for this, before I undertake it with any potential collaborator - 1. Ideally, I'd hoped to contact someone who may be capable of cutting a BLU-RAY version of this ALIEN 3 edit. But I'm okay with finding someone who's able to just do a DVD version of this if not. However, it would need to be someone who's able to do a PAL DVD version in that case...as the timings between the NTSC and PAL formats are different, and it would get too complicated and difficult to relay the EXACT 'timings' and descriptions I have in mind. 2. Although I'm not expecting any kind of fancy 'menu' made up for this, I do want someone who can do good clean cuts, and is able to retain the 5.1 sound for this. And I need someone who's capable of cutting this together using the footage from 3 different BLU-RAY sources (or 3 PAL DVD sources, alternatively). 3. And I'd need a collaborator who's PATIENT and willing to cut my EXACT 'cut-list' throughout this process, without altering anything. I've never come across another version of this that ever satisfied me, and would include my reasons for every one of my preferred cuts/alterations during the various ongoing e-mails this would require to do. I'm not expecting this to be done in a hurry, but I just want it done right, and with care. So let me know here if you happen to match the above criteria or not, Spartacus...as I'm certainly interested if so. And no worries if not, as there's certain editors I have in mind that may be able to help with this instead, eventually. Thanks.

It is better, as well, by far, than any one single idea that was filmed for "Resurrection"... HOWEVER... You have had the benefit of "second site" and the Joss Whedon did not because there was no talk of Prometheus when he wrote the script for "Res". AGAIN HOWEVER... this was never something you had any control over and therefore that makes what you wrote...that much more ingenius! Up until now then story was Brilliant and I thought to some degree, Lacking in just ONE thing...The "UMPH" factor, which I always define as the One Big "Device in the writing" if you will in any story that grabs the reader by the "boo boo", doesn't let go, and Hooks them so they cannot free themselves from obsessing over it when they lay awake at night and think about it. I think you just found yours Bro. That right there goes above and beyond any kind of creative thinking that most people are even capable of !!! I do not know what else to say man. Despite any differences you and I may have had in the past, that right there is Effort, Hard work, and above all creative and original thinking on an order I do not think most people can even appreciate...But Snorky...let me tell you right now... I DO !!! Like I said, you've found your storys "UMPH" factor, and it could NOT BE ANY BETTER THAN THAT...FOR ME...IT IS THE MOST EXCITING THING I HAVE READ ON THIS WEB SITE SINCE I FIRST GOT HERE!!! I am flabbergasted by it !!! Congradulations "Snorky", you have found your special purpose on this earth, YOU ARE A SCIENCE FICTION WRITER DUDE... I mean again.... “Warning. Stay away.” Again, Ripley 8 snaps and then mutters rapidly, “Bad news. Not help. Need Help. Need to stay away.[u][i] [b]Wrong. So wrong. I was so wrong.

@ Spartacus - Okay that last short post of mine worked that time, so I'd just like to say that if you are indeed a technically adept 'fan-editor', then I would certainly be interested in your offer of help with the project I mentioned on page 2 of this topic. However, there are a few certain requirements I'm looking for before I undertake this with any collaborator - 1. Ideally, I am hoping for someone who is capable of cutting the BLU-RAY versions for this, but having said that, I'd still be thankful of an edit using the DVD versions if not. But I need someone who can cut the PAL DVD in that case. I also require someone who is capable of cutting this together footage from 3 different BLU-RAY sources, for this to work. Yes, 3 different ones, or 3 different PAL DVD sources, if not. 2. Although I'm not expecting any fancy 'menu' or 'extras' done for this, I do need someone who's capable of clean, exact cuts for this, and who's also able to retain the 5.1 sound too. 3. I also require a collaborator who's patient, and willing to cut my EXACT 'cut-list' without changing things. I've never come across an edit of this that's come close to satisfying me, and I'd be happy to explain the reasons for my own preferrences for this edit in detail, when the time comes. All my cut descriptons and timings would be sent in sequence over a series of E-MAILS, but I'm in no particular rush to get this done quickly. I'd just like to find someone who will try to do it right, and with care. So if you fit the above criteria Spartacus, then I'd certainly be very interested in you help with this sometime, if you still wish. And if not, no worries, as I have certain others in mind that may be willing to do this eventually, if I'm lucky. Let me know with a reply on this topic either way, and I'll take it from there. Thanks.

@ Spartacus - Although my previous message to you has appeared okay, the longer, detailed response that I keep trying to post is STILL not showing on here for me, as I seem to be getting 'logged out' everytime I try to post it! So hopefully this short message will show okay, and I'm going to start a new topic called 'My ALIEN 3 'fan-edit' proposal...with a TWIST!' here in the 'Alien Discussions' forum instead. Perhaps you can reply to me on that when you see it posted. Thanks.

Hey…nice writing Snorkelbottom! I’m actually enjoying reading something I never thought I would…a sequel to ALIEN: RESSURECTION. That was a film that I never really cared for…and still don’t. Of course, I haven’t been completely satisfied with any of the post ALIEN films. However, I think that you’re doing a great job with the given material. The writing actually reminds me a lot of Alan Dean Foster’s Alien novels. Great job! ~N
