If you’re a fan of the Alien franchise, or happen to own the Alien Anthology Blu-ray set, the alternate cuts are known to you rather well.
Most notable is the fact that the workprint cut of David Fincher’s Alien 3 runs 30 minutes longer, and includes a new creature, and a lot of different odds and ends that flesh out the film’s story more completely.
But if you’ve yet to experience the gauntlet of extended material for each film in the Ellen Ripley portion of the series, HBO Max offers the perfect chance to learn more. From 1990’s first special edition release of Aliens, to the rest of the extended editions that came to be in 2003, there’s a lot of backstory contained in these differing versions of Alien films past.
