Oh, I do love this rather a lot. Old net-heads who, like me, are Aliens geeks might recall the mid-90s site Wierzbowski Hunters (lovingly maintained in its original vintage) dedicated to celebrating the most unknown of the Colonial Marines in Jim Cameron’s film: Pt Wierzbowski, played by stuntman Trevor Steedman. Wierz went down somewhere in the confusing action of the film, and was presumed dead – but these fans have decided to create a different future for the character. Aliens Epilogue is a fan film now in production in which Trevor Steedman reprises his role as Wierzbowski, and it may well be the entire reason the internets were invented. Here’s the trailer:
