Alien 3
Novelization
### Novelization

A [novelization](/wiki/Novelization "Novelization") of the film was authored by [Alan Dean Foster](/wiki/Alan_Dean_Foster "Alan Dean Foster"), writer of the novelizations of *Alien* and *Aliens*. Foster's adaptation includes many scenes that were cut from the final film, some of which later reappeared in the "Assembly Cut". Foster wanted his adaptation to differ from the film's script, which he disliked, but Walter Hill declared he should not alter the storyline. Foster later commented: "So out went my carefully constructed motivations for all the principal prisoners, my preserving the life of Newt (her killing in the film is an obscenity), and much else. Embittered by this experience, that's why I turned down *[Alien Resurrection](/wiki/Alien_Resurrection "Alien Resurrection")*."
