In an early version of the script Joss Whedon, "Newborn" was four-legged creature, without eyes, with white skin and red veins along his scalp. He had an inner jaw is the same as the rest of others. He also had claws on the head, which has been used to keep the victim at the time how to use the inner jaws he sucked the victim's blood.

In the first version of the script was a scene which occurred in the Botanical garden on Board the "Charioteer". In this scene Ripley was driving the jeep, while the other passengers fought off the hordes of foes. This scene was after the scene in the chapel, but before the scene the appearance of a "Newborn". However, the scene was never filmed due to budget constraints.

Nigel Phelps has developed the design of "Betty" on the basis of a jackhammer. It was assumed that the "Charioteer" is the vertical structure, but this idea was abandoned because of the difficulties of design and build scenery for such facilities.

Ron Perlman almost drowned while filming the underwater scene. When he tried to get to the surface, he hit his head on the rain setting, lost consciousness and was rescued by nearby crew members.

Joss Whedon wrote five versions of the final battle with the "Newborn". In four of them the action was happening on the Ground in the following locations: in the maternity ward, a giant junkyard of waste in the snowy forest in the wilderness.

A computer "Driver" is called "Father" (Father). In "Alien" (1979) computer called "Mother" (Mother). In both movies there are similar scenes in which characters shout "Mother" or "Father" because she/he doesn't respond to their orders.

Winona Ryder almost drowned while filming the underwater scene.

Joss Whedon wrote the role specifically for Christie Chow Yun-Fata. But the latter refused the role.

Originally it was planned that the fourth part of the movie series will become a film adaptation of the popular comic book "Alien vs Predator".

Before screenwriter of the film was a difficult task - some way to return the character Sigourney weaver in the movie series. An early version of the script assumed that Ripley awakens on Board the "Sulak" and understands that all the events that happened to her in "Alien 3" (1992), she dreamed.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to film a scene in which a mosquito bites Ripley, but then literally vanished into thin air because of her blood, which contains acid. In the end, he gave up this idea after learning how much time and money would it take to make this scene.

The fee is Sigourney weaver in this film amounted to a greater amount than the entire budget of "Alien" (1979).

The role of Dr. Wren was specially written for bill Murray, with a view to re-combine bill Murray and Sigourney weaver on a film set after "Ghostbusters" (1984).

Winona Ryder gave consent to her participation in the film without even reading the script. She stated that she will play any role even if her character is destined to die in the first scene of the film.

Sigourney weaver actually did the most fantastic basketball shot from behind. To achieve this, it took her two weeks of training under the direction of the basketball coach. At the end of a training course on the average, it fell into the basket one ball out of six. During the filming of this scene she threw the ball at the first attempt, while at a distance of six feet (about 183 cm) beyond the three-point mark. In the film Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to remove this scene from the film because, in his opinion, the audience will consider it too implausible. At the request Sigourney scene preserved. She calls this cast one of the most beautiful moments in her life, of course, after the wedding and the birth of her daughter.

During pre-production it became clear that no one model of the Queen alien in full size is not preserved. Fortunately the producers a copy of the model of the Queen has been... a fan of the movie series.

The final installation Studio wanted the scene prior to the confrontation of Ripley and the Queen alien was excised from the film. The fact that this scene can be interpreted as a love scene. But the scene was saved, after Sigourney weaver threatened to not participate in the advertising campaign of the film, when this scene cut from the film.

During the filming of Jean-Pierre Jeunet barely knew English.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to shoot an additional scene in which the Newborn is chasing Ripley in the escape from the Betty. In this stage it was planned to show the Newborn is completely generated on the computer. The idea of Jean-Pierre Jeunet was not destined to be realized due to budget constraints.

A budget of $50-60 million was much less than hoped for, the Director and screenwriter of the film. Therefore, the decorations were not so extensive as was planned

The Studio had planned that the script will be written by John Hodge and Director Danny Boyle. But he and the other refused to unite their efforts to create a "life Less ordinary" (1997).

In the early stages of project development, the nomination of David Cronenberg were considered for the post of Director.

"Alien: Resurrection" was the first film in the filmography of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, in which he did not have to share the Director's chair with someone else.

The first frame of the clone Ripley look like a little girl, was created based on childhood photos of Sigourney weaver, which she kindly shared with the team on special effects.

Initially, Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted the main villain made a woman. However, the producers rejected the idea, considering that the film has two main female character.

It may seem that specifically for the film was built a maze of endless corridors. However, the pattern was made in only two sets of corridors.

The longer the characters in the film roam the endless corridors of the spacecraft, the more dark and sinister become locations.

For filming underwater scene in the water is specifically added to the milk, because the water was too clear, and the audience might seem that the action takes place not under water.

The underwater scene was shot in three weeks.

In the design of the "Newborn" specially added clearly to the eye in order to discourage those who insisted that other people can't see, because they have no eyes.

The underwater scene was filmed in a purpose-built film water tank in the Studio 20th Century Fox. It took a week to fill it with water.

The actors underwent a course of preliminary training before filming an underwater scene. Sigourney weaver missed most of them, because at the same time she played in the play on Broadway.

To release special editions of all four movies on DVD "Alien Quadrilogy", the Studio Frantic Films was commissioned to add to the beginning of the movie teeth the beetle, which like the jaws of a stranger.

Initially, the suit Ripley was supposed to be different. But when Sigourney weaver saw the suit, Kim flowers, she demanded that her character dressed in the same garb.

Ron Perlman has independently performed the stunt in the scene where his character hangs upside down on the stairs and shoots two pistols.

Initially David Giler refused to do the fourth film.

"Alien: Resurrection" was the only movie about aliens that was not removed in England. One of the reasons for the transfer set – Sigourney weaver did not want to leave his native country.

The crew was faced with the challenge of finding locations for filming. The fact that at the same time he starred in "Titanic" (1997), "starship troopers" (1997) and "Jurassic Park 2: the Lost world" (1997), which involved almost all the free pavilions.

Initially, the face of the "Newborn" was supposed to remind Ripley, the authors of the film had to abandon this idea, because "Species" (1995) already used this approach to create a monster.

The names of the androids in this movie series in alphabetical order: "Alien" (1979) the Android's name was ash (Ash)

Largely Sigourney weaver agreed to be in the movie because of the scene where Ripley 8 kills her seven failed clones.
