Questions that I'm not sure anyone can answer:
I was just watching the Quad Extras again (Aliens supplement - disc 4) and everytime I do so, I think of the same questions...
Throughout the different chapters of the DVD, you will see interviews of those involved in the making of the film.
As they are talking, the scene will cut from them over to some documentary type footage, taken during the original production.
The footage will roll as the respondent/ interviewee continues to talk over the scene.
(You'll see Biehn walking around, in armor, between takes.
Prop guys dressing the set, Weaver talking to Paul Weston - etc. )
My question is... Where is the rest of that footage?
If they were documenting the original production, as it unfolded,
one would think there should be hours of this "behind the scenes" [video] footage.
But, the entire Quad set combined, only shows a total of several minutes.
Was the original stuff shot as someone's personal project?
...Is it locked in a Fox Studios vault?
... hidden under James Cameron's mattress?
Where has it been and why does it continue to hide?
And on that note, ..why was it filmed in the first place?
Was this raw footage included in the old LaserDisc?
If so, was it intended (from the begining) to be included on the LaserDisc?
I've never seen the LD, but I'm guessing that documenting original productions, for the intended purpose of including it as extra material
on a retail release, was not very common at the time.
The "old" interviews with the actors (on set and in costume),
would also fall into this subject.
Were these interviews filmed at the same time, for the same purpose?
Sure would be cool to see that stuff... if it exists.
