I've read one of the original script's for Alien 4. It was really quite good. The ending had Ripley chasing the alien hybrid on the surface of a planet and running it over with a sort hovercraft/combine piece of future farm equipment. _Not_ the let's just blow it out the window of a spaceship... again.
I didn't know that Whedon had written that until I read your post. It makes me worry that Serenity will have a great story that gets killed by suits worried about the budget.
