brinquis I have found the December 1978 script online of you want to read it: Click Here

For some reason Firefox reports this site as an 'attack site' so it's purely up to you if you want to check it out.  I've viewd the site myself a few times and have checked my PC afterwards and no alarm bells have gone off on my Anti-virus/Firewall and other security prgrams so again it's your call.

Very kind of you Xeno

Welcome to AXP, Katrine! Be sure and introduce yourself over in the New Members thread.

As for the script, I think you'll find it quite different from what you've seen in the movie. What we've just recently had posted is Terry Rawlings' original editing script, which contains a lot of material that was either cut from the film, or never shot in the first place. However, if you'd like, you can download the 'final draft' script for the film by clicking here.

What a wonderful gift and honor to be able to read this.
Thank you so much Dennis, Terry and OP.

To xeno:

I recently purchased an original alien script, with cover date june 1978, that has multiple revisions pages throughout the shooting of the film. Has revisions dates from june, july, several dates in august and finally the last one the fourth of october. I guess is the revised final script prior to the december one we have been discussing about.

If you want some information about a concrete scene or photos of a concrete page, tell me. Glady to help you.

Hello!

I know this might be a pain but the revision pages inside the script you bought, are they the same pages featured in the Terry Rawlings Editing script? (click HERE) This to has revision pages...

Xeno:

I can´t read the entire script  now but what I think, making the first comparisons with the terry rawlings:
this is not the same one. Different  type of letter, different number of pages, and I think the final scenes have different numeration.
I think this is a new redaction of the shooting script with all the revisions annotated. including the revisions in the  terry rawlings´s.
Has numerous pages (i would say the 70% of the script) announcing  Revisions dates:
June: 23, 27, 30.
July 3,8,17
August 2,4,7,10,11,24
October 4.

Is like the december script, but anouncing each revision on the page and  has not all the revisions of the december script. I also have a copy of december one.
That´s why I think is a script between the shppitng one, as terry rawlings, and the definitive december one.

Interesting, thanks very much.  I did send you a PM asking this but may i ask where you got your script from?

[brinquis]

A private movie collector I contacted in internet.
