Concept designs by TyRuben Ellingson (Jurassic Park, Star Wars Special Edition, Hellboy, Avatar, Pacific Rim) submitted as part of a failed bid by Industrial Light & Magic in 1990 and based on director Vincent Ward’s vision of a monastic wooden planet.
Before David Fincher took the directing reigns of Alien III there was a much different and radical vision from director Vincent Ward. Vincent Ward’s unrequited vision for Alien III got the top spot in the London Times Online list of ‘greatest sci-fi movies never made’.
These original ballpoint pen and marker concept drawings would have been photocopied and those copies then colored with markers. The final versions can be seen on the bonus discs of the Alien Anthology box set.
