ALIEN: The Director's Cut

We're doing an ALIEN/ALIENS Director's Cut weekend on September 26 & 27! Catch Alien: The Director's Cut playing on Friday at 10pm, and Aliens: Special Edition on Saturday at 10pm!

Thanks to our buds at Tacoma's House of Cannabis for sponsoring Weird Elephant at The Grand!

In 2003, 20th Century Studios approached Ridley Scott to digitally restore and remaster Alien and create his own "Director's Cut," reinstating several finished scenes that had been cut during the editing process. The result is actually nearly a minute shorter than the original film, quicker to cut and streamlined despite the extra scene inclusions.

During its return to the earth, commercial spaceship Nostromo intercepts a distress signal from a distant planet. When a three-member team of the crew discovers a chamber containing thousands of eggs on the planet, a creature inside one of the eggs attacks an explorer. The entire crew is unaware of the impending nightmare set to descend upon them when the alien parasite planted inside its unfortunate host is birthed.
