A Witness to the Wreckage and Rage, Talking to Alien 3 Screenwriter Rex Pickett

[@DeanH92]

I met Paul McGann (Golic) at a con yesterday, and I said I’m sorry FOX messed up Alien 3, and he said “Oh yeah they messed Fincher around, but he had the last laugh though - he’s David Fincher!” He also went onto to say he’s never seen the film, but heard about the Assembly Cut, and the chances of Fincher reclaiming it and doing his own cut were probably zero.

[@nigelcarren]

If I met Paul McGann I would be the 99th person quoting Withnail and I to him that day. I love both films for their bravery, and their raised single-finger. Best wishes to you from a French forest. 😉👍🇬🇧

[@richardadesmond]

Wow, what an eye opening interview. Thank you so much for putting this together. Much appreciated.

[@miller-joel]

18:00 Dude, you're killing me here. Cameron was intentionally making a commentary about the arrogance of a superior military power being wiped out by something or someone much less sophisticated. i.e., Vietnam. And that's not even what the story is about. It's about Ripley, going from having nightmares about her previous experience and losing her daughter, to fighting the f'ing alien queen hand to hand to save her new daughter. She even learns to trust the artificial person. It's an incredible character arc, very well crafted and executed. It's not about the "violence" or the "action." There are thousands of "action" movies, there's only one Aliens. And btw, trying to replicate what Ridley Scott had done would have been a miserable failure. Taking it in a different direction, and doing it so well, without insulting the original, was genius. We'll probably never see that again. Not even from Cameron.

[@jlee2383]

The dude doesn't like action or violence. He admitted that. What do you expect? Different people have different likes. And I'm a huge Aliens fan! But I understand why some people love the first one more than the second.

[@miller-joel]

@@jlee2383 You don't have to personally "like" something to recognize its artistic merits. People keep confusing personal taste and personal opinions with whether something is actually good or bad. They are two completely different things. Maybe horror is not your favorite thing, but you have to recognize Alien is objectively a masterpiece. And maybe horror/action is not your thing, but you have to recognize Aliens is a masterpiece. You can objectively discuss the quality of the writing, the acting, etc.

[@jlee2383]

​@@miller-joel Fair. However he said he only saw it back in the day and maybe he should rewatch it. I'm willing to bet he would feel differently about it if he rewatched, but I also understand why he has no interest in the franchise period after his experience on A3. We as fans love this world, but we have never personally worked on it. For him and Fincher, of course they want to vomit in their mouth whenever they see a xenomorph because the experience probably traumatized them. And honestly that might be the reason he is so blunt when he discusses his opinion on Aliens (also I really wouldn't be surprised if all the people he discusses with such disgust in this interview also told him his script wasn't as good as Aliens, etc. If that's the case maybe he is jaded on it, but that's just speculation).

[@miller-joel]

@@jlee2383 I already praised him for finally giving us the definitive story behind "3." Or as definitive as we are ever going to get. Fincher will never talk about it, and he would definitely not talk about it like this.

Wonderful interview! Up there with the best tell-all Hollywood books (Devil's Candy, etc)

[@sjcprojects]

It's interesting to hear from someone who was involved in the infamous mess that was the lead up to the actual shooting - but having read his script, and the Hill/Giler draft he did a rewrite from, his is actually worse. To say that the Hill/Giler script was the worst script he's ever read is a ridiculous thing to say and really calls into question the credibility of what he says in general (the Hill/Giler draft he did rewrite of is not at all far off from the Assembly Cut version of the film). Also, it was 3 years between Alien 3 and Seven, not 5 - this guy is quite prone to exaggerating, I feel...

[@nickcarter9855]

Great interview and insight, really enjoyed listening to the whole discussion, another feather in the cap for the channel - great work! I would have loved to see the characters ... ala Rex! Hill and Giler clearly added significantly to the wreckage and the rage... Hollywood Hacks... Love it! Perhaps worse than ... 'Dumb assed colonists.'

[@Davon85J]

This might be one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen. Respect to Rex for all the behind the scenes info. I truly wish we got more of this from people in Hollywood. Truly fascinating stuff!

[@musicman2047]

Have to admit I'm intrigued with the Wooden planet take on Alien 3, very unique, and would have been great if shot correctly - The original Jurassic Park sequel pretty much took the part where the Alien was hunting the monks in the corn fields in the original Alien 3 script, where you see the trail of the alien running through the field hunting the monks (Think top-down view shot) - Jurassic Park had the velociraptors instead running in the field where you see the trail. Shots like this would have been amazing back then, especially on a wooden planet.

I will be checking out "Sideways" aswell. Alien 3 is a very interesting movie. It has atmosphere , and can grow on movie viewers like it has on me. Alien, will always be the best movie ever made (IMO).

[@Wstarlights]

Brings a ton of light to things I don't even need to know. I, like, Alien 3. Resurrection is where I 'draw a line' but have no choice as a fan but to submit and absorb it. The 'reception' to 3 after 2 is no dif, and prob less harsh than to 2 after 1. My dad still 'only likes the first one' and to LOTS of people none of the rest are a movie at all. I like 3 for what it DID to 2, which is what 2 did to 1. They 'traumatized' the story, which creates a HUGE sense of momentum in the films and makes everything simultaneously terrorized and having to be decisive without considering themselves as characters, or their place and locale within an environment. There's norhing but death, survival, and decisivity in 'whatever the fuck this situation is..' and the promordial motion/energy of the story exhibits itself. I don't think 'a better' movie could be made without that. I'm GLAD Hicks and Newt died RIGHT AWAY. It was trauma, painful, and terrorizing. THATS ALIEN(S).

This guy sounds so full of himself. He is very critical of others and it just sounds like he is still very bitter about what happened to him. Of course, we are only getting his side of the story. The fact that he disliked Aliens just shows you that he shouldn't be taken seriously when it comes to critiquing the works of others. Also, how many times does he say "You know?" If you turn it into a drinking game, you would be plastered within the first ten minutes of this interview.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

True. He insists that the original script "was so bad": I've read it along with his draft, and the latter was the really bad one. A hasty, partial rewrite of the Giler\Hill script with very stupid lines. He even added a disclaimer on the first page to clarify that the writing style (which is indeed uber-concise even for a screenplay) is inherited from the previous draft, essentially implying that it was badly written. Too bad that the people who hired him and were going to read his "genius rewrite" were the original script's writers. Smart move, Rex.

[@brycesuderow3576]

Is there a copy of the script that Rex created?

[@lowneykids7888]

Rex: "I read all 20 volumes of Carl Jung" ...... Aaron: "That sucks"

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

Very insightful interview, although a tad too long and repetitive. That said, I've read Pickett's script (the one that is available over AVP Galaxy) and I honestly don't think it is that great. It feels like an earlier version of the "Assembly Cut" but with worse dialogue. I still have to read the Giler\Hill script it stemmed from, but the Pickett Draft has a lot of weak moments. The relationships between the various characters are better in the "Assembly Cut" and I reckon that has to do with Walter Hill taking over the writing: I have no problems in believing he is a jerk (he and his buddies treated Dan O'Bannon like shit), but if it was him who punched up the dialogue, he did a pretty good job. "Alien 3" has very interesting characters: we don't get to know all the inmates, but the ones we do get to know are pretty good. EDIT (ABOUT A MONTH LATER): I've read the Giler\Hill scripts (both the before-and-after-Pickett drafts): they are better than the one this guy wrote. When he says the script was "so bad" he's very likely concentrating on the actual writing style (his script even comes with a disclaimer saying that the style is a left-over from the previous draft), not the content, which is what really matters. His dialogues suck, some of them seem like bad fan-fiction. His ideas about improving the story\structure are risible. He can say whatever he wants about Hill and Giler, but those two were better screenwriters than he ever was. Also, his contributions were minimal: for someone who has done so little, he certainly talks A LOT.

[@crazyrabbits]

The only way we'll truly know for sure is for the full script Pickett wrote after he was officially hired to leak. I don't expect a rush rewrite, done in the span of a week, to be particularly good, regardless of the intent or well-meaning behind it. As it stands, the dialogue is way too on the nose (Ripley saying, "I'm never going to be your mother," after the chestburster comes out of her is ridiculous) While I'm sure he's a lovely man to meet in real life, Pickett comes across in this interview as someone who was screwed out of (what he believed) was a plum gig continuing to work on/be credited on a script for a name franchise -- the kind of opportunity many writers would kill for -- and decided that this was his best chance to "get his pound of flesh" while surrounded by like-minded interviewers who would also give him opportunities to plug his newest project. If there's one thing you can really point to for Pickett's handling of the situation, it was him writing a physical letter badmouthing the producers of the project (even if they were no longer involved). This is on the same project where Michael Biehn opted to give FOX/the writers flak for allegedly planning to kill him off and had his agent lobby for them to pay for his likeness on a photograph. Two rookie mistakes on a project where everyone involved should have known better, particularly given the sordid production history up to that point.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

@@crazyrabbits was there another draft? It seems to me that they were working on it when this guy was canned, so chances are there’s no real script. Anyhow, yes, he comes across as still sorry for how the deal went, but that’s how the film industry is and he didn’t really handle the whole thing well: again, writing on the actual script that the previous draft’s writing wasn’t good when it was written by the actual producers was a HUGE mistake. I also don’t like how he defines Fincher as a “visual stylist”: the guy is a filmmaker, for Christ’s sake, and movies are a visual medium. Of course he’s concerned with how things look: that’s the whole point. But it’s a big mistake to consider Fincher like your average shooter that only knows how to film flashy shots. Pickett comes across as the kind of guy who thinks movies should be like theater: all about the writing - which means dialog, since that’s the only thing the writer can (mostly) control. If you write “a man walks into a bar”, there’s a million ways it can be filmed - even lines can be delivered in many ways, but that’s not as noticeable as something you see on the screen. Anyhow, sorry for the rant. I hate the Christmas break.

[@uchidaoginome]

I didn't think I'd listen to the whole thing but I did. Rex is an amazing storyteller with some amazing stories to tell! By the midway point, you know what I thought? I thought I'd like to see him create a movie about the production of Alien³! Hell, if he feels bad about dragging real people's names through the mud, he could just write a fictionalized version. Put the sensibilities of David Mamet, Adam McKay and Oliver Stone into a cauldron and stew up a smashing parody of the early nineties Hollywood production machine.

[@UncleDeadly1031]

I’m only 20 minutes in and, from the comments, it sounds incredible so I can’t wait to hear where it goes. That said, not a fan of how Rex spoke of Vincent Ward. Not so much the stuff about him spiralling and doing cocaine. If that’s true, it’s true. We all came for the dirt, so that’s fine. But this guy’s arrogant as hell and, as a creative myself, he reminds me of so many people I have known of his type. His confidence is obviously earned, as his successes can’t be denied. But one creative unnecessarily shitting on another’s work is simply classless and uncalled for, unless Ward killed his dog or something. He cites a “dark, sci-fi film” Warrd directed that was “cripplingly boring”. He made no such film! Unless he’s referring to The Navigator, which is a mix of history and fantasy, and a fantastic, haunting, and beautiful film. If he was doing coke and overwhelmed, okay. Pretty petty to throw him under the bus with that factoid, but fine. However, Rex cannot bash a dark sci-fi film by Ward as cripplingly boring if no such film exis Off my soapbox now. Looking forward to the rest. Note: It got worse. This man is a bitter, pompous fool with delusions of grandeur who, with only a few exceptions, has very few kind words to say about any other creator but himself. There are tons of artists with huge egos who still conduct themselves in interviews with class and humility, even if faux humility! I wish him well, but I’ve no time for someone so self-obsessed but projects constantly, calling others arrogant. And drunke. And fans or prostitution. And amateurs. Blah blah. I should have known from the first red flag…THREE PART MEMOIR. Lmao. Let’s try once first, Rex. You may be delusional about how many people would care about such a trilogy. Jesus Christ. I just realized…he IS Paul Giamatti’s character from Sideways! It all makes sense now!

[@BoarderEthan]

Some of this story doesn’t add up. Especially after reading the first 30 pages of the Pickett draft from your site. Would love to see a script comparison video. Also, Pickett’s issues with the script are not the issues most fans have with Alien 3. Fans are pissed about the Hicks and Newt deaths and the magic ovomorph on the Sulaco and some wonky effects. Pickett was concerned about dialog, motivation, character depth. Etc. He’s probably spot on about the level of professionalism involved in the production process but “an unreadable script”? Brandywine said the same thing about Dan O Bannon and Ronald Shusett Alien script they made a lot of good changes. Again. Something doesn’t add up. I will say this. I agree with Rex that ALIENS is the outlier here. As time goes on, Alien 3 (Assembly) feels more and more inline with the spirit of ALIEN. And dare I say is now my number two behind the original with Aliens (Theatrical Cut) being my number 3. Where Alien 3 is flawed in its production, Aliens (special edition in particular) is flawed in its gender essentialism and oversimplified theme. Keep up the good conversations!

[@gckbowers411]

Read a bit of his script, and it seems like the other commenters are right. The exposition is so unnatural and blunt ("I'm Dillon and I believe in this and this and this. This is Clemens and he believes in this and this.").

[@michaelnantell]

Rex says that Aliens is a hardware movie. It is a hardware movie but it has a lot of imagination and a lot of authenticity in the design. The film also has some clunky dialog and plenty of war cliche's but the climax builds up a lot of anxiety.

58:00 I've been saying this for 30 years. It should be obvious to everyone, but somehow it isn't. People still want to "fix" things in post.

[@miller-joel]

1:33:00 NOW we're talking. Why the hell does it have to be monks or prisoners? That's just some insane idea from a coke-head. It's been 30 years. Let go, people. Cameron made a leap forward pretty much on his own (writer/director), without insulting the original. How about trying something like that? Continuing the story, taking it in different directions without repeating itself AND without disrespecting what came before? It's obviously not impossible. It just takes a bit of effort and talent.

[@miller-joel]

2:07:40 Sigourney and Ripley were not in Prometheus or Covenant, but what did we get? A Ripley wannabe. A cheaper replacement. Alien and Aliens are the product of insane amounts of talent coming together. No one person can do this by themselves. Not Ridley Scott, not James Cameron, and not Sigourney Weaver. The tragedy is that the some of the people who made all of this possible in the first place, are also the people who destroyed it.

[@andreymagnuss]

The man's not very enlightened when it comes to cinema, it's language and how the narrative is built in films outside of the story and the characters as they are written in the script, so listening to him describing Fincher's contribution to the film as just being "a great visual stylist" makes me think he didn't come that far from the studio executives who hired Fincher for more or less the same reasons. He likes writing but obviously likes talking about himself more. He likes watching movies but he doesn't care for how they actually operate even though he directed two feature films. Either way, still insightful when it comes to the production of Alien 3.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

I agree 100%. A lot of screenwriters are like this: they don’t get that movies are primarily visual and so they dismiss someone like Fincher as a “visual stylist”. By the same reasoning, even Spielberg is nothing more than that. Also, this chap’s draft truly sucked. Seriously. It was bad. He badmouths Hill and Giler (you know, the guys who wrote “The Warriors” and “Southern Comfort”, among the other things) probably because of the super-concise style they used when writing “Alien 3”, and then his script is mostly their draft with a couple of fan fiction-level lines like Ripley holding up the chestburster’s shedded skin and shouting “This belongs to THE XENOMORPH!”. Unsurprisingly, he almost doesn’t exist in the movie industry. EDIT: I said “a lot of screenwriters”, but that’s unfair - “a lot of wannabe/small time screenwriters are like that” is better. Real screenwriters are pros.

It would be impossible for Fincher or any other director to take this mess and make something good out of it, just by re-editing it. A "better" version? What does that even mean? A more polished turd? It's never going to be a diamond. This already came up in this very same interview: It starts with the script. This was un-fixable from the beginning, it's un-fixable 30 years later, and it will always be un-fixable. The only way to "fix" it would be to invent a time machine and write a good script to begin with, and that will never happen, because it would have happened already. That's the first thing any time traveler would do.

Out of everything in Alien 3, I thought the characters were the strongest part of it. But one thing that I still can't get over is writing off Hicks and Newt. But I thoroughly enjoyed all of the English banter in the film. I enjoyed the characters otherwise. Two things I didn't like in the extended cut was the Alien was born from a dead ox, not Spike. Also the queen chestburster not making an appearance felt very anticlimactic. It's not the best Alien film, but not the worst either.

[@shadowbeast2276]

[@miller-joel]

1:34:36 There's two/three sides to that question. How can we relate to a bunch of murderers and rapists, and why should be care about them when they are so poorly written and the story make no sense. And the studio/writers don't even care about continuity. Again, if you don't have continuity, NOTHING matters, because anything and anyone can be changed and undone at any moment without any explanation whatsoever. And we already had a huge investment in Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. And don't give me crap for caring about that. People who DON'T care about that are the problem. If a character has to die, give him/her a proper death. Plenty of characters did die in Alien and Aliens, and no one felt cheated. Are there angry mobs bitching about how Dallas died in Alien?
