Has anyone else actually read Gibson's Aliens 3 script? It's absolute rubbish.
Dawn of the Dead works perfectly well with Zombies, thanks. There's no need to remake it in space. For those that haven't read it, the script has those nasty scientists turning "alien"ness into an airborne virus which runs amok in a shopping mall onboard a space station. There are a few nice set pieces (the best one being a gravity-booted fight on the outside of the station that ended up being grafted almost intact into Star Trek 8) but in comparison even AVP treats the series with respect.
