This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Alien³ (1992).

About the movie: Ripley continues to be stalked by a savage alien, after her escape pod crashes on a prison planet.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Alien³ (1992)?
a.		Because of continuing troubles with the film, Fox halted production in Pinewood Studios in England in late 1991. The crew returned to LA, and an initial screening identified the missing parts of the film. A major part yet to be shot included killing of the alien in the lead pool. By the time of the new shots in LA, Sigourney Weavers hair grew back, and she had an agreement with the producers that if she would have to cut her hair she would be paid a $40,000 bonus. The producers therefore hired Greg Cannom to create a bald cap with very short hair on it. The make-up process cost $16,000 and was very difficult and time-consuming because the hairline required the cap to be placed very precisely on Weavers head.
b.		The line, "Im saying Im an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it, but now that dream is over and the insect is awake," is a reference to author Franz Kafkas 1912 story "The Metamorphosis," in which a man wakes from a nightmare to find himself transformed into a giant insect.

c.		An advanced type of facehugger, one that impregnates Ripley with a queen embryo, was designed and built, but was cut from the Theatrical Version. It does however make a brief appearance in the extended Assembly Cut.
d.		Ansel Faraj has said that the film, while not 100% Lovecraft, is deeply rooted in a Lovecraftian universe, and draws elements and ideas from the Lovecraft stories The Shadow Out of Time, The Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness, The Colour Out of Space, and The Whisperer in Darkness.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Alien³ (1992)?
a.		Scarlett Johansson turned down the role of Marlena.
b.		These stories were originally written and filmed for the anthology series Darkroom. They were deemed too intense by Universal and thus culled into an anthology film for theatrical release.
c.		The character of Ben was originally written as an angry person. When Duane Jones was given the role, he expressed concern that the character be rewritten to remove some of the anger - such as the scene where Ben hits Barbara - afraid of how it would be widely perceived in the United States at the time to see a black man acting in this way. The nation was still plagued with high racial tensions during the late sixties; the film was released to theaters shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King. Nonetheless, George A. Romero and most of the rest of the predominantly white crew decided against it, thinking they were being "hip" by not changing it. Years later, Romero lamented that he had not taken Jones concerns more into consideration, and thought that he was probably correct. Hes expressed that he wishes he could speak with the late Jones again, asking him how he felt about the films legendary status, and believes Jones would just say "Who knew?" and laugh.
d.		A cross is briefly seen on the planet surface to suggest the religion that some of the inmates have turned to. The model department held a competition to see who could design the best one. Four different models were created, and then David Fincher chose the version he liked best.

a.		The film was pared down to 81 minutes from the preview running times of 87 and 85 minutes.
b.		According to an interview in Premiere Magazine, Mark Wahlberg stated that at one point, he and Joaquin Phoenix were considered for the two lead roles. Although Wahlberg considered it due to his brother-like relationship with Phoenix, the script was ultimately too sexually graphic for him.

d.		Director Jon Avnet referred to Mary-Louise Parker as "Lou" and Mary Stuart Masterson as "Stu" on the set because their names are so similar and he had to say them so often.

The second major difference is that the books machines held five passengers, and Ellie was accompanied on the voyage by four diverse intellectuals from around the world. Further, in the book semi-retired Ellie discovers "message" in the number pi (certain pattern of digits in it), thus revealing that our universe was indeed created or tweaked by other intelligent beings, as she has been told during her journey. Finally, there is no previous romantic relationship between Ellie and Joss, although the book hints at a potential relationship between the two as the story nears its end.
c.		The tea glass that prison superintendent Andrews is sipping on is part of the BODUM series, a tableware manufactured in Denmark.
d.		In the original recording for the opening song "Arabian Nights", part of the song originally went "where they cut off your ear, if they dont like your face".

The concept by Vincent Ward based on which the movie was green-lighted involved a wooden planet and a group of monks who thought they were living in post-apocalyptic dark ages, and had a middle-ages lifestyle. The group refused all kinds of modern technology, and when Ripley and the alien crash-land on Earth they would blame Ripley for the alien attacks. Ripley was to be impregnated by the alien "the old-fashioned way" rather than through a face-hugger, and therefore being impregnated with a human-alien hybrid. According to the storyboards, she would dream of half human-half alien hybrids. Other storyboards included horse-alien and sheep-alien hybrids. Ward left the project after the producers insisted that he change the monks to prisoners and drop the wooden planet idea.
