Alien 3 picture

Trivia: The film had a notoriously troubled production, with several writers and directors dropping out of the project during development.

David Fincher, then a popular music video and commercial director, was chosen to helm the film, but he had nonstop creative difficulties with the producers and studios. He has since gone on to disown the film, as he feels it isn't reflective of his vision.
