Sigourney Weaver sparks fan hopes of Ripley Alien sequel return | Films | Entertainment
From 1979 to 1997, Sigourney Weaver starred in four Alien movies as Ellen Ripley.
Since then Neill Blomkamp had been attached to helm Alien 5 as a direct sequel to 1986’s Aliens, but the project was ultimately abandoned.
Yet now Alien franchise writer and producer Walter Hill has penned 50 pages of a script about an older Ripley and it turns out Weaver’s taken a look.
Appearing at New York Comic Con, the 76-year-old confessed: “It’s a very strong first 50 pages.”
According to Screen Rant, Weaver said: “I was always like, let her rest, let her recover. But what Walter has written first of all seems so true to me. It’s about a society who would incarcerate someone who’s tried to help mankind but she’s a problem for them…” On if this Alien film will actually get made, she added: “I don’t know if it’s gonna happen but I have had a meeting with Fox, or Disney or whoever it is now.” Fingers crossed.
