ALIENS Original Studio Script (first draft dated May 30, 1985) + Production Document Package + Premiere Screening Invitation

Authentic, studio issued first draft script of Aliens, protectively bound in a plastic bookwrap. Script pages are printed on light green paper. As this was used, there is some wear--the first page has come out of the binding (see pics), and there are slight smudges and signs of use on some of the pages. Overall though the script is in very nice condition. Also included is a 33 page package of pre-production documents from the studio dated between 4/8/85 - 5/1/85, including a complete multi-page budget breakdown (yes, the film really was only budgeted at around 18 million dollars, and as you can see James Cameron's director fee back then was a mere 524k!). Every facet of the production is broken down piece by piece, dollar by dollar, offering a fascinating behind the scenes glimpse of the making of James Cameron's sci-fi masterpiece. These documents were also production used and do have wear visible such as stains, creasing, etc. Rounding out the package is an original pass to the film's premiere, with a handwritten note in red "Reception to follow" on the reverse side. Script, documents and ticket packaged inside a protective black clamshell cardboard case.
