Overview
- Speaking on Michael Biehn’s Just Foolin’ About podcast, Cameron called Alien 3’s opening choice to abruptly write out key Aliens characters “the stupidest f***ing thing.”
- He argued the sequel discarded hard-won audience goodwill and swapped in an unlikable new group, which he said pushed viewers away.
- Cameron said he remains a fan of David Fincher and gives the director a “free pass,” citing Fincher’s first-feature circumstances and heavy outside interference.
- He ruled out any return to the series, saying you couldn’t pay him enough and describing the franchise as almost fan-driven.
- Biehn said his likeness was used during Alien 3 without prior approval, prompting a negotiation to limit its use, while Cameron offered praise for the TV series Alien: Earth and measured approval of Alien: Romulus.
