https://www.cnet.com/news/william-gibson-alien-3-script-becomes-a-face-hugger-worthy-comic/ > I've been a hardcore Alien fan ever since I first laid eyes designer H.R. Giger and director Ridley Scott's sci-fi nightmare vision of aliens, facehuggers and the one woman who could defeat them all -- Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver since 1979's Alien). > Both Alien and 1986's sequel, Aliens, were the kind of films that made me happy to be stuck on earth instead of running for my life on a mining spaceship or a remote terraforming colony. But 1992's Alien 3 -- directed by David Fincher -- always felt like a disappointment.
