It looks like Sigourney Weaver would be interested in another aliens film is the right players were involved. We get the skinny from the WEBMASTER over at Film Junk:
A few years back there was some serious talk about a fifth Alien movie, but the word on the street is that it was all kiboshed by the emergence of Alien vs Predator. I’m still not sure why exactly that would prevent them from doing another standalone Alien movie; perhaps 20th Century Fox didn’t want to divide this new “mega-franchise” until AvP had run its course, but now that part 2 has come and gone, I think we can safely say that it is done like dinner. Anyway, in a recent interview with OK Magazine, Sigourney Weaver said she was interested in reprising her role as Ripley, assuming the right people were involved.
“I would definitely do another if I had a director like Ridley Scott and we had a good idea. Ridley is enthusiastic about it.”
I would be game for another Aliens film, but I don’t think I would want to see the Ripley character again. I wouldn’t mind if she was referenced in the film, but I think it would be needless to have her have another run in with these extra terrestrial killing machines.
I wouldn’t mind another aliens film set further in the future from where the last film left off. Now that humans are aware of the beasts and have studied them, earth’s hunters could have special exoskeletons designed to resist the acid blood of the monsters. Exterminators from earth could even be sent across the galaxy to eliminate the creatures…although, this may be too much like Starship Troopers.
What do you guys think? Would you like to see another Aliens film, and if so – would you prefer it with or without Ripley?
