Everything was there in the script down to the cat as the motivation for Ripley to go back into the ship after she had set the destruct when anyone in their right mind would have got the hell off there as fast as possible... For the first time the complete script of the legendary film has been cleared for publication. This book includes the complete screenplay, including scenes filmed but not released into the theatres, hitherto unseen stills from the film, storyboards, a foreword by Ridley Scott and an introduction by Paul Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner.
