Cast

• "Weaver approved of David Twohy's work and signed on, but demanded a larger salary of $4–5 million, plus co-producing credit. She also requested that the action was not to rely on guns" - Copyright violation due to too close paraphrasing. From reference - "Weaver approved of Twohy’s work and signed on", "plus a co-producing credit", and "requested that the action not rely heavily on guns".
• "He treats Ripley after her escape pod crashes at the start of the film and forms a special bond with her. Before he is killed by the Alien, Clemens laments to Ripley why he was originally sent to Fiorina, describing it as "more than a little melodramatic." Fincher initially offered the role to Richard E. Grant, hoping to reunite him with Withnail and I co-stars Ralph Brown and Paul McGann." - This is cited to the unreliable self-publishing company Lulu.com.
• "The character is identified as "Michael Bishop Weyland" in tie-in materials to Alien and the videogame Aliens: Colonial Marines." - This needs a citation.
• "This Alien is different from the ones in previous installments due to its host being quadrupedal (a dog in the theatrical cut, an ox in the assembly cut). Initially a visual effects supervisor, Woodruff decided to take the role of the creature after his company, Amalgamated Dynamics, was hired by Fox." - dead citation
• "Carrie Henn was unable to reprise her role as Newt as she was too old for the part so Danielle Edmond took over the role in this installment for the brief autopsy scene with Newt's corpse." - This is not in the citation.

Development

• Much of the section is cited to this non-English source, but it doesn't mention "Bald Ambition" and appears to be about second film titled Aliens.
• "particularly due to a dissatisfaction with Fox, who removed scenes from Aliens crucial to Ripley's backstory." - This isn't in the reference.

William Gibson script

• "In September 1987, Giler and Hill approached cyberpunk author William Gibson to write the script for the third film. Gibson, who told the producers his writing was influenced by Alien, accepted the task. Fearful of an impending strike by the Writers Guild of America, Brandywine asked Gibson to deliver a screenplay by December." - Obviously not in the non-English reference that is clearly about the second film.
• "Gibson drew heavily from Giler and Hill's treatment, having a strong interest in the "Marxist space empire" element." - How do you know that this blog comment belongs to Gibson?
• "Gibson's script was mockingly summed up by him as "Space commies hijack alien eggs—big problem in Mallworld" - Not in that same non-English source.
• "The story picked up after Aliens" all the way to " their source and destroy them" - Not in that same non-English source.
• "The screenplay was very action-oriented, featuring an extended cast, and is considered in some circles as superior to the final film and has a considerable following on the Internet. - The link doesn't go to the article.
• "particularly for not taking new directions with the initial pitch" all the way to "foot dragging on the producers' part." - Not in that non-English source,

Eric Red script

• Again, more information that is not in the non-English source about a completely different film.

Start-up with Vincent Ward

• Again with the non-English source.
• Reference 24 is a dead link.

References

• Has some unreliable sources, such as WTFDVDs.

General

I have not went through everything, but I am quick failing this due to the large number of issues that I have already found. SL93 (talk) 03:19, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
