Lebbeus Woods was hired on as “conceptual architect” for an early, unreleased incarnation of the movie “Alien III”.

The plot sounds like it would’ve been way more interesting:

“The story of the Ward movie was radically different, though it deployed the same basic characters, in that the setting was a religious colony that had escaped the earth and inhabited an abandoned commercial facility deep in space. They had adopted a Medieval way of life, without electricity or modern technology. The Ripley-Alien drama was to be played out inside this crumbling, artificial world.”
