The Aliens 30th anniversary in Hall H was a real treat for fans at Comic-Con on Saturday. While the cast have been getting together for conventions recently, James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd joined Sigourney Weaver, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, and Lance Henriksen to share behind-the-scenes stories and reflect on the movie's importance 30 years after its release.
For die-hard fans, there's a lot here that's already known. That said, it's great to see this group together, and the love they have for each other and this movie. And there are some really interesting moments here, such as clarification on how the Bishop knife trick was accomplished and previously untold stories about Newt's cocoon scenes.
Overall, it's well worth a watch for fans of this movie, and it sounds like there's still a glimmer of hope that we'll see Ripley and Hicks back on the big screen. We want to give a huge thanks to Films That Rock for their Hall H video coverage, including the video you see below!
Check back next week for my exclusive interview with Michael Biehn, where we talk about his upcoming film slate, as well as his thoughts on Hicks and Alien 5.
