Johnnie Christmas to Adapt William Gibson's Unpublished Aliens 3 Script as a Comic Book
Dark Horse has announced plans to publish a comic book adaptation of William Gibson's original, unproduced Alien 3 script by writer/artist Johnnie Christmas and colorist Tamra Bonvillain. The comic is part of the 20th Century Fox Uncovered program, which also saw Rod Serling's original Planet of the Apes script adapted at BOOM!. Hey, we hear making a comic book is a great way to get something optioned for a movie!
The press release explains what's going on:
An Alien blockbuster is coming to a comic shop near you when Dark Horse Comics brings William Gibson's original, unproduced Alien 3 script to life with the help of writer and artist Johnnie Christmas. While Gibson was a contributor in the early phase of the writing for Alien 3, ultimately most of his concepts never made it into the final film. As the father of the cyberpunk genre with titles like Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive, Dark Horse is thrilled to see Gibson's vision fully realized for the first time!
Following the deadly events of Aliens, the Union of Progressive Peoples intercepts the spaceship carrying the hibernating bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. But unbeknownst to them, they have also picked up another deadly passenger whose discovery will unleash a race between two governments to weaponize the xenomorph in this horrifying and poignant Cold War-themed thriller.
With an intense script by Gibson (Neuromancer, Agency, Count Zero, Archangel), cinematic art by Johnnie Christmas (Angel Catbird, Firebug, Sheltered), vibrant colors by Tamra Bonvillain (Doom Patrol, Wayward, Uncanny Avengers), and a slate of variant covers by James Harren, Daniel Warren Johnson, Paolo Rivera, Tradd Moore, and Christian Ward, William Gibson's Alien 3 is the "what if?" fans have been asking for!
Look for William Gibson's Alien 3 #1 in stores on November 7th. The comic will run for five issues.
