The five-part mini will adapt Dan O'Bannon's first take on the space horror classic.

More than 40 years after the world first learned that in space no one can hear you scream, Dark Horse Comics is reviving the horror of the first Alien movie with Alien: The Original Screenplay, a new comic book series based on Dan O'Bannon's script for the 1979 movie.

The adaptation of O'Bannon's screenplay comes courtesy of Cristiano Seixas and Guilherme Balbi and follows in the footsteps of Dark Horse's successful 2018 series, William Gibson's Alien 3, which adapted the original screenplay for David Fincher's third movie in the series, restoring material excised in the final version of the script.
