Trivia: Joss Whedon's original script followed a cloned Newt (from "Aliens") instead of a cloned Ripley. Newt was going to have much more overt gifts and abilities thanks to the cloning process, and would have single-handedly fought off the new alien threat. Many who read the script compared the story and Clone-Newt character to Whedon's TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - just with xenomorphs and a future setting instead of vampires in the modern day. Eventually, it was decided to swap out Newt for Ripley, given she was the star of the series.
