Joss Wedon's original script vs. Movie

There are a couple drafts, but both of them are even stupider than the finished movie. Ripley has multiple fistfights with aliens, including the newborn who is more like a creature from Resident Evil. Come to think of it, his scripts read quite a bit like a Milla Jovovich-starring Resident Evil flick.

I have a friend who worked at Digital Domain in the 90s, I remember him telling me they were initially hired to do vfx in the film and were sent the script. Ultimately they ended up not doing the movie after all. It was finished and released about two years later and my friend said he was really disappointed that some things had been changed and toned down. Only thing I can still remember is that he said that Ripley and her half xenomorph spawn basically had sex. Way gnarlier than the icky cuddling they do in the movie.

I also remember him telling me a similar situation whereby DD had an early script for Alien Vs Predator that never got made, which had absolutely zero dialogue. It was 100% about the Predators and the Xenomorphs with no human characters whatsoever.
