Just a heads up for Alien fans, and I know some on who here have listened to and enjoyed(in varying degrees) the dramatisations that are on audible - on 30th May they are releasing a full-cast dramatisation of William Gibson's never-filmed script for Alien 3.

"Every film fan has a mental list of the Greatest Movies Never Made. The greatest of these in the scifi genre has been William Gibson’s unmade script for ALIEN III. It’s by one of the giants of the literary genre, and takes the situation set up in ALIENS, moving forward into fresh regions of the Alien Universe and continuing the stories of our old friends from James Cameron’s movie. It’s been a privilege and honour to finally bring this story to life with this wonderful cast as an immersive audio movie." - Dirk Maggs, Director.

I can't wait. Really enjoyed the other ones.

From the description too -

Alongside a full cast Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen reprise their iconic roles as Corporal Hicks and Bishop 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 installment that might have been after being leaked online.

This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatization – 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.

PS. You can get it with a free trial of Audible if you're eligible
 
My next credit doesn't come through til tomorrow. There is something else i was planning to get so not sure what I'll do yet. Might just buy it on 30th. I think it is about £12.

The previous audio dramas don't strictly link to this, it is purely a sequel to Aliens as far as I know. It does feature the same actress playing Ripley though(and she's pretty good).

Of the previous ones, River of Pain is by far the best. I'd recommend it. It is a prequel to Aliens that shows the downfall of Hadley's Hope. It is really good.

I listened to one of the alt stories and was amused by the voice of Bishop (I think) saying my voice has changed because ... no it's changed because you're Rutger Hauer :)

Still they are well done.

I actually got really annoyed by the Rutger Hauer bits in Out of the Shadows! Just sounded odd to me.
