Last summer, Dark Horse announced that they were releasing a comic book version of William Gibson's unfilmed Alien III script, and now Audible is brining the screenplay to life as an audio drama featuring Michael Biehn reprising his role as Corporal Hicks from Aliens. Ahead of the audio drama's May 30th release, and in celebration of Alien Day, Audible released the first teaser for fans to listen to, including Biehn saying his character's iconic line, "Stay frosty."

"Audible is bringing William Gibson’s lost Alien III script to life in audio for the first time, to mark the 40th Anniversary of the birth of the Alien Franchise.
Alongside a full cast, Michael Biehn reprises his iconic role as Corporal Hicks from the 1986 film Aliens.
Father of cyberpunk, William Gibson’s original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third installment that might have been after being leaked online.
This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatization - directed by the multi award-winning Dirk Maggs, is the chance to experience William Gibson’s untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and aliens, as a completely immersive audio experience.
The story begins with the Sulaco on its return journey from LV-426. On board the military ship are the cryogenically frozen skeleton crew of that film’s survivors: Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop.
We travel aboard and hear an alarm blare. Our heroes are no longer alone....
