‘Alien’s Alternate Ending Would Have Ended the Franchise Before It Started
When looking at the female icons of horror, we usually think of the final girl, the young woman who survived the masked killer murdering all of her friends now finding the strength at the end to kill her aggressor. There's Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode in Halloween, of course, and Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare of Elm Street. A more recent example is Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott in the Scream films.
Alien is made up of a great cast, including the likes of Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, and Ian Holm, but it was the 28-year-old Sigourney Weaver who was the star. At the time, Weaver had done a few small roles and had a little part in Annie Hall, but Alien was her big break. The fact that most of the audience didn't know who she was helped her character. We didn't look at Ellen Ripley and see a movie star acting.
Talk about a twist! Picture yourself sitting through Alien, only for the hero you've been watching and rooting for this entire time to die at the very end. What had been a tense, yet fun movie suddenly would have become something very depressing and hard to rewatch.
