Synopsis:

The 1979 classic with several minutes of added footage taken from the Alien Quadrilogy DVD. Actually this is a re-edit of Mr.E’s extended Alien edition

Intentions:

To see an extended edition of “Alien” that’s higher quality than past efforts, and, at the same time, avoids the major pitfall that appears in the Director’s cut. I also wanted to see a version that uses more of Jerry Goldsmith’s original score.

Change List:

- The Derelict transmission from the Director’s Cut - Extended Derelict Entry Scene (converted from non-anamorphic) - Extended Winch Scene (converted from non-anamorphic) - Ripley and Lambert’s fight/Alternate “How we gonna get this off” scene from the Director’s Cut - Checking in on Kane scene - Alternate repairs scene with Ripley and Parker’s intercom exchange - Discussing the plan to trap the alien (converted from non-anamorphic) - The Alternate Brett’s death scene from the Director’s Cut - Ripley Comforts Lambert - The Alien’s Lair scene from the Director’s Cut samrosenbaum: - Removed the Alien’s Lair scene from the Director’s Cut. Replaced it with the raw version of the Alien’s Lair scene (converted from non-anamorphic), inserted just before the self-destruct sequence. - Restored Jerry Goldsmith’s Original Music to the final shot and end credits.

Special Thanks:

Original version by MrE. From MrE’s description: I left out Kane preparing the coffee because it doesn’t really fit in with the way the final film is edited. I also left out the Kane’s gun shots, as I feel it adds nothing to the movie other than a random moment. Also, some stuff is now missing. One exterior shot of the Derelict has been nixed to make room for another scene, the “It LOOKS like a warning” scene had been moved up to accommodate a scene, the original repair/”This place gives me the creeps” scene had to go in order to fit in the extended version (which uses different takes and dialogue). The couple of scenes that were non-anamorphic also look pretty raw. samrosenbaum: I’ve kept all of Beckmen’s edits intact, except for the Alien’s Lair scene. Instead of the abbreviated “Director’s Cut” version (which Ridley Scott, for reasons I find baffling, placed in the middle of the self-destruct sequence), I used the longer, raw version of the scene, which I converted to anamorphic and placed just before Ripley runs to the engine room to set the self-destruct. The second change I made was to restore Jerry Goldsmith’s original music to the final shot of the sleeping Ripley and the end credits. I’ve also adjusted the volume, so that the scenes which either MrE or I had converted from a different format are not too loud in comparison with the rest of the film.
