I KNEW it would be good but not THAT good!
The price is no surprise though - If it had been over £100 then no-one but the die-hards would buy it, so I knew they would keep it reasonable 2 shift units. My - how they are gonna fly! | |

Yeah, I've been really looking forward to this for ages.
Though I did hear a nasty rumor that the extended version of Alien 3 may not be included due to some 'internal wrangling' with David Fincher. I hope this isn't true as I was particularly looking forward to seeing a proper copy of the long version (there's a great big 20 min section in the middle that was cut out where they actually catch the alien). Anyway, fingers crossed! | |

Anyway, fingers crossed! Well - Im intruiged too - as what I originally heard from David Fincher was that the 'workprint' version he wanted 2 put out would make the film CONSIDERABLY longer than the released version - and would alter peoples perceptions of the film. However, I was disapointed 2 read in the in-store mag this week that the DVD in this set will only have 12 extra minutes of footage included. Shame.

Shame. the magazine came out *before* the press release of the box set. the press release says there are more than 30 minutes added to alien 3. supposedly there are over 45 hours (movies & bonus) worth of material on this set. i just ordered mine | |
