[Audiobook] Alien 3 Original Script $0 for Subscribers @ Audible AU

590

I had a few credits stacked up and remembered that audible had done an audio drama of the original script of Alien 3, went to pick it up and its now free along with a number of other Alien titles.

Anything narrated by Lance Henrikson gets a thumbs up from me.

Audible is bringing William Gibson’s uncovered Alien III script to life in audio for the first time, to mark the 40th Anniversary of the birth of the Alien Franchise.

Alongside a full cast Michael Biehn reprises his iconic role as Corporal Hicks from the 1986 film Aliens.

Father of cyberpunk, William Gibson’s original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third instalment that might have been after being leaked online.

This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation - directed by the multi award-winning Dirk Maggs, is the chance to experience William Gibson’s untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and aliens, as a completely immersive audio experience.

The story begins with the Sulaco on its return journey from LV-426. On board the military ship are the cryogenically frozen skeleton crew of that film’s survivors: Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop.

We travel aboard and hear an alarm blare. Our heroes are no longer alone….

Starring: Tom Alexander , Barbara Barnes, Michael Biehn, Cliff Chapman, Samantha Coughlan, Ben Cura, Dar Dash, Harry Ditson, Mairead Doherty, Graham Hoadly, Lorelei King, Laurel Lefkow, Martin McDougall, Sarah Pitard, Michael Roberts, David Seddon, Andrew James Spooner, Siri Steinmo, Dai Tabuchi, Keith Wickham, Rebecca Yeo

    Nice! It looks like most the "Alien: The Novelization" series is free to add to library for subscribers. Weirdly Book 0 isn't included, but books 0.5 through 10 are.

    You could make a deal for every item in the "plus" catalogue though.

      I would instead recommend the one i'm listening to now; County: Life, Death, and Politics at Chicago’s Public Hospital - about Chicago's County Hospital, the only public hospital in Chicago, from the perspective of a Doctor who worked there from 1978 onward. Very interesting to hear the state of the American public healthcare when ours is comparably amazing.

      I have a few more on my list which I hesitate to recommend until I've heard at least a bit of them, I have high hopes for A People's History of Computing in the United States by Joy Lisi Rankin, which goes into early computer use in America.

    just watched Alient 3 today in the afternoon again with the wife. Nothing beats the original Alien movie!

      Yeah I watched the assembly cut of Alien 3 on Blu-ray the other day, that movie is super underrated!

  • So I'll learn nothing from the franchise then, good to know.

  • I believe the script for this was written by William Gibson

  • I have listened to all the Alien Audio Drama's series They are well done. Not sure the bonus of this Alien 3 Original Script though…….other than for avid fans I suppose?

    Edit: Actually, I listened to the clip. Yeah it would be worthwhile listening to BUT listen to it in the correct order to the others x 4 Dramas.

      To the person who negged, that's fine and no issues at all with that howver at least add a comment to assist others in understanding why you disagree :-)

  • With the new plus memberships, do the free books you’ve downloaded no longer work when membership is cancelled?

    • I had downloaded some stuff from the kids catalogue during a trial, they're still accessible in mn account.

    • Same question here

    Anyone interested in this should check out a podcast called "Cancelled Movie Report" 2 guys take unreleased movies, talk through the script, production, why it never got made. Etc… and then have voice actors do the script whilst they comment on it. It's absolutely brilliant.

  • Thanks Op
    Be interesting to read what was intended originally.

    There are a few Alien audiobooks available on Youtube and they are great. Alien: Out of the Shadows is fun to listen to.

  • For anyone who currently subscribed this months free book is:

    It's probably the last day you can grab it for free, being the last day of the month.

  • Am I the only one who thinks Alien Isolation should be made into a feature film? Jeez that game was scary!
