Attention to all Alien Resurrection fans!!

Special effects company Studio ADI (Amalgamated Dynamics) is selling exact replicas of different maquettes they created during production of Alien Resurrection (1997), plus one neat thing related to Alien 3 (1992). It’s so awesome I had to make a masterpost about it. Here they are:

Alien Queen Head (1:3) - $3600 (video)

Alien Queen Embryo Chestburster (9" tall x 7" wide) - $400 (video)

Queen Chestburster for the Alien 3 poster - $150 (video)

Newborn Alien Design Maquette (19"tall - Weighs 6.5lbs) - $2000 (video)

Newborn Alien Face Design Maquette (6"x 5.5" x8") - $750 (video)

Newborn Alien Bust (1:1) - $4000 (video)

Swimming Alien Movement Study (17"x5.5x3") - $250 (video)

Besides looking amazing themselves, they give us a glimpse into the creation process of the movie (notice, for example, that the full body Newborn maquette isn’t the final design used in the movie).

“Totally tubular!”

Something emerges from the wound. An alien, to be sure, but nothing we’ve seen so far, its forelegs arch out of its back like spiders legs, its back legs set on enormous haunches, thick and powerful. Its head is long, eyeless, like the others, but along its white expanse red veins, coming out of the skin and running like thick black hairs to the back. It has retracted pincers at the side of head that come out when its tongue does. Its much bigger the the others, nearly the size of the queen herself. And it’s bone white.

Joss Whedon's script for 'Alien: Resurrection' (1997). 

The final movie ended up having a lot of differences with Whedon's script, not the less of wich was the new creature that debuts during the climax, known as "Newborn". The movie's version was pretty much the opposite of what the script intended:

By coincidence, the 1993 comic Aliens/Predator: Deadliest of the Species (written by Chris Claremont) had a Xenomorph/Predator/Human hybrid that somewhat reminds of Whedon's idea, at least a bit, superficially:

Joss Whedon was very dissapointed with the movie and the overall experience, and would latter recycle some of his ideas with his show 'Firefly' (2002-2003).
