Alien & Aliens digitally remastered

The bitch is back: sci-fi fans who were left nonplussed by last year's Prometheus can revisit the heyday of the Alien franchise during June, as Toho Cinemas screens digitally remastered versions of the first two films in the series. Ridley Scott's masterful 1979 horror Alien will be shown from June 7-13 in its 2003 Director's Cut (not all that different from the original, actually). The following week, you can catch James Cameron's turbocharged sequel, Aliens, in its extended Ultimate Edition version, hitherto only released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan.
