Trivia about Alien³

David Fincher wanted Gary Oldman to star in the film, but the two could not reach an agreement.

Filming began on January 14, 1991 at Pinewood Studios with the script unfinished and 7 million dollars already spent.

Charles Dance said an alternate ending was shot out of fear that the original would resemble that of Terminator 2, but it was never used.

William Gibson sardonically summed up the script as a story about space communists and alien eggs.

Elliot Goldenthal's score was recorded during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which, according to the composer, helped give it its unsettling tone.

Although it underperformed at the U.S. box office, it earned more than 100 million dollars outside the United States.

Alien³ received an Academy Award nomination for Best 1993 Visual Effects, along with seven Saturn Award nominations, a Hugo, and an MTV Movie Award nomination.

The Special Edition of Alien³ was first released on DVD on December 2, 2003.
