[center]Sigourney Weaver Wants to Make Another ‘Alien’ Movie

I'd be open to another Alien movie with Ripley and I think her
showing interest will definitely get the suits talking and
hatching out a contract before she changes her mind. But would
Ridley Scott actually want to go up against a Ripley-centered
Alien flick with his own prequel Alien flicks? If they do a 5th
installment, why not get Scott to helm it? Is that even a
possibility at this point? And what about that rumor of James
Cameron and Scott doing alternate installments. Awww, to be a
fan of the franchise and speculate all over again. Cameron is
locked up in Avatar-land. He will NEVER do this.

I read about Ms. Weaver's comments last night. It's Deja Vu all
over again from Alien 3 and then again for Alien 4. At those
times, Sigourney (and I'm sure the studio had some say :P )
dictated what was made. Tons of writes and re-writes.
Guess she thinks it's time to get back to it.
While it's a fantastic franchise, if another one doesn't get
made, that's fine. Alien 4 is so horrible (like Indy 4), I don't
think the masses are screaming for more. And a reboot just might
piss me off. I'm satisfied with a new direction of Prometheus
franchise.

See, reading that little article, especially
[quote=Sigourney Weaver]“I feel a longing from fans for the
story to be finished,” she continued. “I could imagine a
situation where we finish telling the story.”[/quote]
that to me sounds more like "yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
they tried to make another one." Why wouldn't they, they're
doing long-delayed sequels for everything else (we need a name
for that garbage, so we can dismiss the practice more easily).
I don't get a sense of "excitement" about it.
Yeah, fans love Aliens, they love the designs, they love the
character, and studios love money, of course they'd consider
making another one, even if it's a terrible idea. Everyone
wants what they already saw, not what they haven't imagined yet.

Looks like it's moving forward. Neil all but confirmed that the
next installment will involve Ripley. So, this has got to make
Sigourney Weaver happy.

We'll see.
I like sigourney, but I think she's overdone her stay.

Roth is always gung-ho about a lot of movies that are coming
out. Even when she knows that it's got issues, she will find
something to get excited about it. So, I was kinda surprised
that she is against this. Watching Roth talk was like watching
Mac talk. Same issues for both. So, they both definitely share
the same hive mind. ;D Good conversation with all of them as
they all bring up valid points for and against making this.

Good discussion.
Yea, my point with Ms. Weaver is her character. Movies 3 & 4
felt forced to include her in the story line. Like it all
revolves around her.
So we don't know what the story angle is, but if it's after
Prometheus 1 or 2 and before Alien, how or why would her
character be even considered? My point is if they are sitting
around developing a story and one of the key characters is
because Ms Sigourney is alive as an actor and she wants to do
it, I think that throws a wrench into full developing a good
story.

[center]Blomkamp‘s Alien Movie Will Ignore Alien 3 and
Resurrection - IGN News

Okay, Alien 5 just got a whole lot more interesting for me.
Anyone that knows me knows my disdain for Alien 3
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/alien3-(1992)/msg13197/#msg13197.<br
/>So when news broke that they were going to disregard 3 & 4,
naturally my first question is whether or not they are bringing
back Newt and Hicks. Now before you say that Ripley is too old
for this plot point to work, just remember, they are
disregarding the events that tale place after Aliens. So, an
older Ripley isn't going to be a deal-breaker when they are
clearly going outside the box here. Has this ever been done
before with any other franchises? I can't recall it ever being
done where they just "erase" continuity like this. Anyway, if
they do bring back Newt and Hicks, I want to see Carrie Henn,
Michael Biehn repring their roles. Come on, admit it, you're
interested more today than you were yesterday regarding Alien 5.
What are they going to call it now? Alien 2.5?

I read an article recently on the opposite view thinking
ignoring parts of the franchise is a bad move. The sited a
Superman doing this.
I don't know yet how I feel about that direction. Again, if they
are going this route so they can include Sigourneys character, I
think it's an unwise move.
