       Here's the article... just an opinion piece
       [quote] It was speculated, it was considered, it was argued, now
       it's official: Neill Blomkamp is making Aliens 2. He's going to
       disregard Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection and make a 'genetic
       sibling' to Aliens, one that Sigourney Weaver says will
       'properly finish' Ripley's story. Which is weird, because it was
       pretty properly finished in Alien 3, but I guess that was too
       much of a downer for everybody.
       It's Superman Returns all over again - ignoring the second two
       films in a franchise and chasing after the aesthetic and feel of
       a much older film. Will Blomkamp approach Aliens with the kind
       of reverence with which Bryan Singer approached Superman: The
       Movie, and the kind of reverence with which James Cameron did
       not approach Alien? Look, I've said this a lot but what makes
       the Alien franchise special - in both its successes and failures
       - is that each film is not the genetic sibling of the last. It's
       almost like an anthology series with continuity, and it would be
       so cool to continue that as opposed to aping the second best
       film in the franchise.
       As Russ Fischer at Slashfilm points out, Weaver's comments are
       kind of shrugging off her role in the last two films, as she
       wanted no guns in Alien 3 and wanted Ripley to die. Weaver
       already called for an end to Ripley's story and got it!
       I'm sure a lot of people will be happy that Alien 3 and Alien
       Resurrection are being ignored, but I hate this kind of
       laziness. If you're taking on a sequel and not rebooting the
       property you're basically playing Exquisite Corpse. Your job is
       to pick up the threads left and weave your own story - then
       leave your own threads for someone else to keep weaving. That is
       such a huge part of what I like about these films, but here's
       Blomkamp, unwilling to work at it, just hacking at the Gordian
       knot of Alien continuity. [/quote]

       I so want this to happen just to have the original Aliens cast
       together one more time. I'm still hopeful this will happen.
