Ten drafts? That's ridiculous.

That sounds kind of crazy, but look at the results. Fincher is fantastic, and so if anyone can demand 10 drafts, he can.

Fincher is a wonderful director, but look at the pedigree of these screenwriters. Roger Avary won an Oscar for co-writing Pulp Fiction and Neil Gaiman is one of the most respected and prolific fantasy/science fiction writers working in the field. On top of that, they've been producing drafts of this movie for years.

good. i just want gaiman to concentrate on sister death and then get started on sandman. im not getting any younger. :(

Avary also "wrote" the Silent Hill adaptation, lets not forget that. Avary is consistent and Gaiman probably deserves the title of "genius", but Fincher knows what he is doing. Look at his resume, even his "bad" films are gorgeously made. However, the better script, the better the outcome. When he had "Fight Club" and "Seven" material, look at what he was able to come up with. Personally, I'd rather Fincher have a script that lived up to its full potential rather than a half-assed/disastrous one like that of "Alien 3". God knows, with Fincher at the helm this would still be a watch able film regardless.

i trust The Finch.

Alien 3 (Alternate Cut) is my favorite in the series.
