20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek: First Contact
6. The Title Was Changed Due To Alien Resurrection
The film went through many different titles before First Contact was settled on, including "Star Trek: Borg" and "Star Trek: Resurrection."
Though just about everybody was in agreement that Resurrection worked, it ended up getting thrown out after Paramount realised that Fox had already registered the name for use in their upcoming Alien sequel, Alien Resurrection.
While First Contact was wrapped before Alien Resurrection had even started shooting and released more than a year earlier, it was in nobody's interest to create potential brand confusion among audiences, so the decision was made to name the film after an episode from The Next Generation's fourth season instead.
