Rest in Peace David Giler...

RIP David Giler, thank you for your contribution to the Alien series. Although Alien 3 was neither my favorite or my unfavorite, I did love a lot of the concepts (both unused and used) contributing to the movie as a whole, except for the part where Newt, Hicks, and eventually Ripley were killed.

To be fair, killing them wasn't his or Walter Hill's idea. The idea belongs to Vincent Ward, he viewed it as Ripley's journey. He also thought Newt was annoying.

Whoops. Yeah I didn't like that Vincent Ward did that to Newt and Hicks.

I got to say I'm among the few that decision didn't bother, but I'll save that for a separate topic.

:-/

He was one of those that saved Alien 3, as far as I know. I got this from the Perfect Organism podcast

RIP

If I remember right he eventually walked from the set after Fox installed yet another producer. I can't remember this guys at the moment but I know he infuriated Giler and other production members because he started saying what they could and couldn't do due to budget. I got to check my quadrilogy special features.

R.I.P David Giler

I think it may be Sad that he will not be around to see his ALIEN V idea come to Fruition (thats if it will anyway).

He and Walter Hill did have a BIG impact on what we call ALIEN and the Franchise as they introduce us to the Corporate Greed/Conspiracy Aspect and the Synthetics/Robots and also the Notion of Biological Alien Warfare.
