leading from
a) There is a film
by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's film The Bunker of the Last
Gunshots, a black and white movie.In this film, multitudes of bald men are running around an enclosed underground environment in a world of futuristic war and after everyone kills each other.
There is one man reduced to being an idiot after being experimented on left at the end hand cuffed to a gas tap and he is left there to die.
b) There is a serial killer Golic in Alien 3 who is accused of killing the initial victims of the adult four legged alien and he is bound up on the bed unable to get away.
However he is left there for good since the rest of the story where he is released and goes on a murderous rampage in an effort to assist the Alien has been edited out.

c) Jeunet and Caro turned out to be great fans of Alien 3, they could sympathise with the environment that had been created.
d) David Fincher would soon work with Darius Khondji in his film Seven, just after Alien 3 .
This man so happened to be Jeunet and Caro's director of photography for their films Delicatessen and City Of The Lost Children,
Delicatessen had a similar sepia toned look to Alien 3 and was released a year before, but Fincher would only talk about Khondji in interviews in reference to his perfume adverts.
Khondji would also go on to be director of photography for Alien Resurrection with Jean-Pierre Jeunet directing and also a music video and an Nissan car advert for Chris Cunningham who was a part of the special effects crew for Alien 3 and in the art department for Alien Resurrection.

In 2008, Marc Caro directed Dante 01, taking more than a few cues from Alien 3. Bald prisoners, a mysterious stranger that arrives and upsets the order, even a facehugger-looking thing appears. Sadly the production ran out of money so the final film is unfinished and ends very abruptly, but it is worth a watch if you are a fan of Alien 3.
ReplyDeleteLoved the film in a very odd way. It's a bit like a sort of a Caro's missing contribution to Alien Resurrection. Then I thought Alien 3 looked as if it took a few cues from Jeunet and Caro's "Le Bunker De La Dernière Rafale"
