Alien cinematic universe?

@ninXeno426 It's funny to hear stories about O'Bannon. He had a huge influence on sci-fi, but nobody seemed to like working with him. It's just a bit odd

I haven't heard that before.I know they didn't take his script to seriously at first and when they did they were dead set on changing a lot of it(they thought it was terrible)and that did often leave him frustrated,enough to the point he didn't want to attend the premiere for fears that it fucked up his original vision.

That and sort of being bullied by the studio to change things like character names(although that was for the bettet)among other things.

A lot of the dialogue in the original drafts was extremely wooden.

o'bannons script starbeast states that although he had made the cast all male this could be changed. O'Bannon originally assumed he would be directing and felt he was being pushed aside by fox but in the end he was pleased with what ridley had done. the only reason alien got made was the facehugger and chest burster scenes, they didn't get changed at all but the studio hated most of the rest of it. yes he was bullied a bit but having read starbeast and seen the film id say hed accept the changes improved things. plus his original concept for the monsters appearance was weak

I was aware of a lot that.Ive read his original script.I know it went through alot of rewrites to make it better although he felt they making it worse.He thought the one good idea they brought to it was the that Ash was robot,and on that we can agree.
