After Alien came out and was a certified success for 20th Century Fox in 2979, Fox executives immediately looked to do with that movie like they’d already done with their other film that took place in space, Star Wars. That is to make a sequel and franchise it.
But it would take SEVEN years, and a hell of a lot of wrangling from both Fox executives and their newly minted from The Terminator director James Cameron to make it happen. After a struggle to get original heroine Sigourney Weaver, as well as fights about tea breaks, Cameron’s Aliens was finally released in 1986 to raves from both audiences and critics.
