For a good portion of the audience who watched Dr Clemens tell an emotionally crippled Ellen Ripley that Newt had drown in her cryotube, this was an affront to everything that James Cameron had done with Aliens. And despite those early comics seeing an eventual republish with the original names restored, as well as a possible revival in Neil Blomkamp’s aborted Alien 5 and a thankfully deleted cameo at the end of The Predator, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden has remained firmly on the other side of that “veil of tears” when it comes to the big screen.But there was a time in the mid-1990s when Newt’s untimely demise was about to be undone. I would wager that most Alien fans are unaware of this footnote in the development of Alien Resurrection where we would have seen a cloned Newt, rather than Ripley, resurrected to combat our favorite acid-blooded extraterrestrial Xenomorph XX121.
I think it’d be a safe bet, not just because the film’s lack of popularity within the fandom leading to less exploration of it, but because until relatively recently there was just so little known about this direction that Alien Resurrection could have taken.
