Sigourney Weaver Has Met With Disney About a New ‘Alien’ Script: “It’s a Very Strong First 50 Pages”
Sigourney Weaver won’t rule out returning to her seminal Alien character Ripley in light of 50 new pages of a script she’s seen from producer Walter Hill.
“Walter Hill is a very good friend of mine, and he wrote 50 pages where Ripley would be now, and they are quite extraordinary. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but I have had a meeting with Fox, Disney, or whoever it is now,” she told the crowd at New York Comic Con on Friday. “I said I have never felt the need. I was always like, ‘Let her rest, let her recover.’ But what Walter has written seems so true to me as very much about the society that would incarcerate someone who has tried to help mankind.”
Added the star: “She’s a problem to them, so she’s sort of tucked away. Anyway, I think it’s a very strong first 50 pages, and I’m thinking about working with Walter to see what the rest of the story would be.”

She's not busy doing anything else, is she?

Of course she isn't. Her opinion is worthless because she also endorsed the current and ongoing GenZ reimagining and abject failure that is Alien: Earth. Did she get paid for that plug too?
They need to take a long break from this franchise. I say that as a long time superfan.

In this new version, she runs away from the alien using a walker.

I’m interested in supporting role as a cunt.

No. "Alien: Earth" was a disaster and showed the franchise is out of ideas. Let it rest.

In the OP pic, she looks absolutely thrilled.

In other breaking news, Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, at last! And Parker & Cattrall are in talks for a very special hybrid SATC/Feud season.

Oh, Siggy. Come now. We don’t need another.

Well, an older actor still has to make a living. I agree we don't need another, but I'll bet she needs the $$.

Alien Earth and Romulus weren't perfect but they had entertainment value and showed that Ripley isn't essential. I love her but I hope she doesn't come back.

God no- will she be starring as an alien consultant from the bed in her nursing home?

Oldsters bond over past heroic exploits in the world's first orbiting retirement home. Laffs, tears, and hugs ensue in zero gravity!

If her opinion was worthless, it wouldn’t be a feature story in the Hollywood Reporter, now would it?
The worthless opinion here lies in your mirror.

We already have that, since SJP looks so much like the Xenomorph.

I'm looking forward to the episode where Miranda finger fucks the trans alien in Carrie's kitchen!

Sigourney is RIPLEY. No one else.
