Sigourney Weaver Wants Alien 5?
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.”
It’s a pretty simple statement that doesn’t really mean much, but the fact that Ridley Scott is “enthusiastic” about a fifth Alien movie is very interesting indeed. There are many who would say that Alien: Resurrection is proof that they should have just left the franchise alone. However, now that they already have done a fourth movie, I think it would be cool for the series to go out on a high note (assuming they could still salvage the story). Ridley Scott returning for the final Alien movie seems only appropriate. What do you think, is Alien 5 something you’d like to see? Could Sigourney Weaver still return as Ripley now at the age of 58?

I would certainly like to see another Alien movie (I don’t really count the AVP debacle.) Most people that I’ve talked to or from what I’ve read online, not too many people were pleased by Alien: Resurrection. I, however, loved it. It was so twisted and dark that it would easily be my favorite alien movie. This is the order of preference for me personally.
Posted by Matt on July 7th, 20081. Alien: Resurrection
2. Alien
3. Alien 3
4. Aliens
If someone of Ridley Scott’s caliber is doing it then I’m interested. Sigourney Weaver’s age wont necessarily be a negative factor then. I agree that the series deserves redemption after Resurrection and AvP.
If some methhead like Paul W.S. Anderson is involved then my Hollywood assassination spree might finally go into effect.
Posted by Ryan M. on July 7th, 2008I’ve actually read where Ridley was quoted as being interested in doing another Alien movie so hearing it from Weaver isn’t to much of a surprise. I would love to see another Alien Film since the last two were completely disappointing and AVP 1 and 2 were just pieces of garbage. It’s so like Fox to mess up a possible great franchise by doing everything on the cheap.
I do agree with Ryan M if they higher someone like Anerson and Ratner you can count me out on seeing a 5th Alien.
Just do it right Fox! And get some talented people to work on this! That is if it’s every green lit.
Posted by 1138 on July 7th, 2008If you think about it, why would she NOT want to do it? What has she been doing lately that is of any real quality? “The Village”, “The TV Set”, “Baby Mama” — Of course she would want to do a higely high-profile return to a legendary series. And guess what– I’m all for it! I hope they do it, and do it right.
Posted by Jon Rocks on July 7th, 2008I heard an interview with Ridley Scott around the time Blade Runner Final Cut came out where he specifically said he wasn’t interested in doing another Alien movie because they had ruined the franchise with the Aliens v. Predator films. But who knows, I guess at this point it’s all unofficial …
Posted by Joel on July 7th, 2008Ridley Scott oh heck yeah. I’d even be fine if they retconned Alien 4 or something. Either way I want to see Scott do more Sci-fi.
Posted by Ian on July 7th, 2008He could always just choose to ignore the AVP movies… They kind of exist outside of the realm of the Alien movies anyway, in my book.
Posted by Jon Rocks on July 7th, 2008James Cameron, Ridley Scott, or David Fincher would have to direct a new Aliens film for me to be interested in it. Aliens is my all time favorite movie and I’m about as critical of this franchise as you can get. Overly-critical in many cases, I’m sure. Alien Resurrection is a load of shit, and while everyone is entitled to their own opinions, to avoid being passive aggressive, I’ll just say that if you prefer it over any of the previous films you really must not know what the hell you’re talking about. The AvP films are an abomination in the eyes of god as far as I’m concerned as well. At this point I’d just prefer to see this franchise left the hell alone, but as stated above there are a few people who I would be willing to see helm another addition to the franchise. Someone else could probably make a decent Alien film, but the only people I’d immediately trust are the three men who’ve made it work in the past.
Posted by Rian on July 7th, 2008- What has she been doing lately that is of any real quality? “The Village†-
The Village is indeed of the utmost quality. Better than Alien 3 or 4, possibly better than Alien 2.
Posted by Henrik on July 8th, 2008make the movie with mila jovovich and then have jovovich take over the series. (and bring back bishop)
Posted by mike e on July 8th, 2008i meant sigourney weaver make the movie with jovovich, maybe connecting weaver and jovovich in a family way?
Posted by mike e on July 8th, 2008Only if there is something new and disturbing to add to the series, otherwise it’ll just be a CGI fest rehashing previous ideas.
Posted by Baychuk on July 8th, 2008Ripley should be dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.
Posted by Laserbeard on July 8th, 2008Dead like my enthusiasm for the Aliens franchise.
If you haven’t seen the special edition directors cut of Alien3, you should, cause it’s freakin’ great.
Ridley Scott should be pushing for the DUNE gig. (crossing fingers)
Posted by Laserbeard on July 8th, 2008Ridley is the only one who could take us back to being really scared; Remember “In space no one can hear you scream”? He is one of the greatest directors and story tellers of all time imho.
Posted by Marty on July 9th, 2008I don’t agree with the board that AVP sucked; I thought they were great, especially Requiem, truly sinister and grim (chest burster from child?! Predator home planet?) come on people, wheres the love? Besides, they could just ignore the last 20 years and start fresh if they wanted (my recommendation)Finchers movie sucked by the way…killing Bishop? Killing Biehn’s character? I remember feeling really let down after Camerons incredible sequel.
Fincher’s film was incredible, it won’t be topped. They should just run ads for another movie, then when everybody gets in the theater, they roll the Directors Cut SP ED of Alien3, with all scenes digitally restored.
lol.
The Alien franchise films are all different from one another, which is great, and we all have our favorites for different reasons.
I hope IF they make a new sequel, that it will be scary enough to measure up in greatness to any the first 3 movies.
I spent quite a bit of teenage years gathering EVERY single Aliens v Predator comic that DH published in the 80’s and 90’s. Before the internet!! lol.
Not one of those AVP movies could compare to any DH Presents story. AVP is garbage.
Posted by Laserbeard on July 9th, 2008I would love to see a fifth film, to give this series the great finish it deserves. It MUST be done sparing no cost or talent whatsoever though…great director like Ridley or Cameron is a must.
Also, I feel a big reason the first 2 films stand out as the masterpieces of the series is because they are so timeless. They are timeless because not much was left to CGI. CGI graphics become dated as newer technologies constantly evolve. Good old-fashioned, quality monster suits and amazing puppetry (queen from the 2nd film) are sure to terrify and remain “real” for years to come.
Basically, just pleeeease do it right!
Posted by mikerfan on July 14th, 2008You are all forgetting one very important question. Is the Alien available and interested?
Posted by Mdaniel88 on July 17th, 2008The necessary ingredients – Sigourney/R.Scott/An out there “Original” script that has what the fans want and more (with a mind boggling twist) – they always spoke about travelling to the planet of origin (not to study and bring back, but to destroy), this to me is the best direction they can go in…
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on July 18th, 2008please sigourney do another alien :-[
Posted by shady on July 18th, 2008I think a 5th ALIEN movie will be super, and you know what it will be easy to dismiss ALIEN 3 AND RESURRECTION if needed . My idea is this : At the end of ALIENS – if you play the fill till the end of credits you will hear an Alien Egg open – I’m not sure if that was intended by James cameron as a tease for his version of Alien 3. Well he still can have his way with a true continuation starting from his film ALIENS. We can continue from the End of ALIENS were we see Riply – Hicks -Newt and Bishop is the cryotube chambers ( sleeping ) we can have some sort of technical problem with the suloco thats inter-fears with the suspended animation that is involved in the cryotube hyper sleep and this leads to Ripely – Newt and Hicks etc aging and perhaps laying in some-sort of coma . The suloco is drifting in space perhaps, and a rescue team find them …. they wake up from the coma and who knows what could be ………… But its easy to do I think .
Sigourney weaver must be in the film as the main part! age is not an issue.!
I belive we need to go back to the alien home world ( LV 426 ) to see if any remains of the crashed ship….. there is so much more to find out about the alien.
Also , dont think of the ALIEN VS PREDATOR films in any connection to the ALIEN films, as the AVP films are a pile of hollywood crap! Make a new ALIEN film and must be 18 only not a crap UK PG 13 OR 15
Posted by Brendan uk on July 19th, 2008Like your flow Brendan UK – not sure how one disassociates the A3 and Resurrection titles though – unless the new installment was to have a refresher/recap to commence the film. Leaning towards a follow up from Aliens…Hmmmmm
In addition I dont believe LV 426 was the home of the alien. The alien craft had crashed on LV426 – but a return to LV426 may give some insight as to its origin.
i dont belive Age will be a factor at all – and Sigourney looks fabulous for her age – and by the time she’s all dirtied and sweatied up, thats the last thing you’ll notice in space.
R rating = fabbo. Very dark, uneasy, sinister film
Bring it on Ridley
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on July 20th, 2008Continuity of actors always helps and in this case, is best for the series.
Posted by Baychuk on July 21st, 2008With Stallone wrapping up Rocky and Rambo in fine style, it shows that the bad taste of Alien Resurrection need not be the final of this series. AVP was an OK watchable movie. AVP2 was absolute garbage. One more outing should be put together. Weaver must be in it and Cameron should direct it. It should have some final mark to it. Either a battle to save Earth or the descent into the alien home world. But to leave it with AVP2 and Alien Resurrection is an insult to the series. One final high-quality effort should be made.
Posted by Bernie on July 29th, 2008fingers crossed – cmon sigourney, put us out of our misery and sign for the project…..a good sci fi movie is well overdue
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on September 10th, 2008We ALL want Sigourney! She’s awesome – how could anyone not want her involved?! If anything, she would help “make” the film. And to the person who suggested that Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection should be disregarded in order to make way for a good Alien 5 movie …. umm, that idea sucks! The only way it could work is if Ripley “dreamed” the stuff in the parts 3 & 4 .. or had some sort of visions … I don’t know, but to do that is like asking for a disaster film like Halloween 3: Season of the Witch … which disregards the first 2 Halloween movies. Terrible idea! But, Ridley Scott and/or James Cameron, of course, would just be ingenious.
Come on Ripley ……. kick some alien ass !!!!
Posted by Fin on October 12th, 2008Oh yeah, and LV-426 is NOT the Alien homeland. An alien ship had crash-landed on LV-426 … and that is how the aliens got there to begin with. So … they come from somewhere else.
A re-visit to LV-426 is a good story line.
Aliens invading Earth is another good story line.
But Weaver must be a part of it! We want Weaver. And a kick ass script.
And no CGI or none of that animated CRAP!!
Posted by Fin on October 12th, 2008Sorry ….. I screwed up. A re-visit to LV-426 is not possible because the planet blows up at the end of Aliens (part 2).
So … I guess an earth invasion is the way to go. And, boy oh boy! We can now see an online trailer to Alien 5: Earth Invasion with Sigourney Weaver reprising her role as Ripley. Alien 5 is scheduled for a Summer 2009 release date.
YAY!
Posted by Fin on October 12th, 2008I don’t count AVP either. The first was entertaining but the second was the worst piece of garbage I’ve ever seen. The creators of that movie should be ashamed of themselves. Preschoolers could have done a better job, for real!
As far as an ALIEN 5, hell YES!! I’ve read that FOX thinks Weaver is too old, but I think that is ridiculous. I would NOT be interested if Weaver did not return. I want to see what happens to number 8! I think it should be more of a psychological horror movie, very scary! I would love to see a story involving the alien’s origin….their homeworld, were they engineered? What race did the derilect ship from Alien belong too? Are they around still? Will we find their world and they are extinct with only “aliens” living there? Soooo many great ideas. BUT, I DO NOT want to see them come to Earth. We saw how bad that went in AVP. BE ORIGINAL FOX.
Posted by Graham on November 8th, 2008first AVP tolerable, some bits enjoyable. Other AVP film – complete rubbish.
Sigourney needs to reprise her role, and Graham I agree coming to Earth could be too predictable.
Revisit the planet of origin – dark, isolated, disturbing and horrifying
Not for the faint hearted
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on November 9th, 2008Alright, I have read through all the comments and have come to the conclusion that anyone whom thought that the 3rd Aliens, or either of the AvP movies were any good seriously might have something wrong with them. And the one person whom put Aliens at the bottom of their list…I won’t even say what I was going to.
A fifth Aliens would be great, and if they are going to go to the Alien’s Homeworld, with the fact that this is Hollywood with no real true imagination of it’s own anymore, will probably take the story from either the DH comics or one of the many books that have been written.
I am not saying that this will automatically make it bad, just the opposite I am thinking if as pretty much all of you have said, done right it will be the great ending to the series that we have all hoped for for such a long time.
I say ending because if the next movie, should they make one, be a great one I hope they will have learned to let the great rest instead of trying to milk off of the success and make crappy sequels to them.
Should Ripley be in the next one I would hope it would not be a main role. I like her character in the first couple Aliens, but because of the horrible 3rd one and the whole bringing back to life via cloning, I would prefer that she would just make a cameo in it. Maybe at the end, or an adviser or something small. Leaving the room for a character like Cpl. Hicks, or in the books, Wilks to take the lead role as far as the movie is concerned.
Yes, we get it, women are strong and have that drive to survive to. As they have done with all the movies thus far, so why not try to take that slight change?
Posted by Oogie Boogie on December 2nd, 2008THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO GO ON ‘ALIEN 5′. Reprise the roles of Ripley, Hicks, Newt..they never died. Alien 3 and Resurrection were merely ‘dreams from hyper sleep’. It’s now 23 years later from Aliens. They made it home safely. Here they come, Newt’s grown-up, Hicks is still around, and they all would fit the time-line. Let em all go back and bust some Alien butt on earth. This is the ONLY story that would be good, it’s what the people want, and they’re crazy for not doing it this way.
Posted by DoNotFear on January 3rd, 2009I think the alien planet would be a bad idea. it’ll either be too dark to see anything or a desert planet. a jungle wouldn’t be quite believable. maybe shoot the beginning of the movie there, like the first bit of the lord of the rings, then move to earth
Posted by Roger on January 13th, 2009I am tentatively interested in an Alien 5…but, only tentatively. I love “Alien.” I think it is a classic horror that actually hits the correct buttons…isolation, the unknown, extreme violence, yet, at the same time, using H.R. Giger’s designs of a smooth, sleek, slender alien, contrasting with the stark, angular design of the Nostromo, a hint of horrid sexuality in said violence. “Aliens” was a good, but very different movie, that I enjoy for different reasons. I think Cameron realized it would be somewhat difficult to really recreate a lot of the suspense that Scott did in the first movie, so went for the action romp. However, it still managed to be spooky. “Alien 3″ I thought was a dissappointment. I think in an effort to make the alien more interesting, they made it able to run on the ceiling (at least in Cameron’s movie, when the aliens went upside down they had handholds, which made you believe they were gripping…Fincher’s alien just….stuck there…somehow) and showed an alien “first person” view, which was silly. Why, in an effort to make it “different” from our vision, do movie creatures always seem to have poorer vision? Anyway, it was a dissappointment. However, nothing in the series was as dissappointing as “Alien: Resurrection.” What a waste of film. To me, that was a concept that had to be ludicrous because the story was over after the third. It shouldn’t have happened. “Aliens vs. Predator” should’ve remained a comic book. The movies are horrendous. Anyway, I’m rambling…I’m not sure how they could come up with a decent storyline here, I really don’t….but if they do decide to go ahead with something, I agree with most posts on here that they need a competent director, and VERY LITTLE CGI! I’m so sick of computer…to me it robs me of the enjoyment I used to get seeing what movie makers came up with to accomplish the special effects. The featurettes on “Alien” and “Aliens” were fascinating. Cameron in particular used shading more than anything for his aliens, and they were great. In full light, his alien suits were black spandex….but you never noticed. And the Queen? Puppetry and models (a lot of her was pure miniature, but you wouldn’t know it) and it was fantastic. The CGI alien in Fincher’s 3rd? Awful. Anyway, I don’t think they could come up with a decent story for a fifth, but if it came out, I would likely see it, hesitantly.
Posted by Ann D on January 15th, 2009what i want to see in alien 5 is a comeback to lv-426. alien left me with a big question: who was that big dead alien that crashed with the ship? where did he came from? what was it like? was he the predator kind, or more like rational, science race? alien 5 should concentrate in finding this race and se what’s what. this would be a possibility to introduce another alien race and i’m sure it would be an epic one, be it predator or rational, because it is huge.
Posted by alooper21 on January 18th, 2009as for a comeback of ripley, well, i would like to see weaver back, but maybe age IS an issue. weaver=action in this situation is not belivable. however, no other actress should play ripley. maybe an android as the main character? how about a comeback of winona rider? alien 4 was bad because of the story, not the actors.
alooper21 – wasnt lv426 blown up. The ship couldve presented an interesting twist, but they blew the planet to smithereens
Posted by alooper on January 19th, 2009alooper21 – No, LV-426 wasn’t entirely annihilated. Just the atmosphere processing facility. The blast (to quote Bishop) equalled “the size of Nebraska.” There is a possibility the derelict ship was not included in the blast. We never really knew how far away the processing plant was from the derelict.
Posted by Ann D on January 20th, 2009I find it funny that people think you can’t make a good Alien movie without Sigourney Weaver.
P.S. I don’t think it’s necessary to have William Shatner in order to make a good Star Trek movie. You only need him to bring in the people who don’t like seeing something different.
Posted by Reed Farrington on January 20th, 2009Sigourney is vital to the project
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on January 20th, 2009Jes-Jes-jes
I thik it´s a god idea, whit the right story it has to be done so that we all can slep i peace again.
Posted by lloekke on January 22nd, 2009It a brilliant idea.. Who cares about her age she was alive in the last one so she has to come back for the fifth.. people age its a fact do u tink they cared that al pacino aged for godfather part3 no… so do Aliens 5 needs weaver!! Period!! And they need to look at the original movie and tell us where that crashed ship came from.. is there an alien homeworld?? with more of these ships??? so many unanswered questions!!!
Posted by Sej-Sej-Sej on January 27th, 2009I agree with most of you. There is no Alien movie without Weaver. But it´s gonna take a genius to make movie that will please the fans, at the same time as it´s gonna be scary, have some kind of new twist to it,
and be a real block buster.
As most fans seemingly likes the two first, and more or less dislikes 3rd and 4th, the fifth movie either will have to start from where Aliens ended or at least bring back Hicks and Newt. Building up Newts character the way they did in Aliens will remain totally pointless,unless the outcome of Alien 3 somehow changes. I have no idea how they will do that though.
Also I think we all want it to be creepy as the first movie and/or filled with kick-ass action as in the second one, with likable characters. It does get a bit scarier if we worry about what´s gonna happen to the characters. And please, don´t kill Ripley off again.
The only real ending would be killing off the aliens once and for all.
The new twist could be looking for the alien homeplanet or the spacejockey idea. Earth would be cool, but isn´t space a better enviroment for these movies?
I really hope Fox will do this eventually
Posted by John on January 28th, 2009if by spacejokey you mean that huge alien that i said about than i really greet you, dude! just think that the “big alien” race used technology to send a signal, wich means is intelligent. it would be the first intelligent alien race in the series, still animalic enough, but not an animal, like giger’s aliens. this ideea can evolve and spin off into more than one movie, maybe alien 6, 7 and so on… why being cought on a war betweeen alien vs predator, when it can be these two species introduced in Aliens? i can go for a return to lv-426 to search for some eggs or smth, while in the meantime these big aliens send some of them to the planet to recover the ship. and there goes the meeting. we’re still to find out if lv-426 is the home planet of aliens. i think is not, because it was the only species there. more likely they were brought in by the crashed ship of the big-alien, who sent a signal to be recovered by he’s fellows, but he died soon being plundered by aliens. and also: remember the laser beam that the humans found above the egs in Alien? that was technology, how did it got there?
and soooo on…
Posted by alooper21 on February 9th, 2009I enjoyed all of the Alien movies for different reasons, AVP I agree was better than the sad sequel Requiem. Having Ripley come back for a fifth in her series would be excellent and keep her in her highly evolved hybrid state, from Alien Resurrection, because she would positively need her new found powers and ruthlessness to return and battle so many hatching eggs from the belly of the original ship (along with a good number of Royal Marines!!!
Posted by Reinaldo on February 16th, 2009its gonna be a blockbuster movie, the true essence of ALIEN is the story of the woman RIPLEY that make it special unique….not the monster or monsters, they are always diferent she is always the same. THEY should pick up the film from the last one and set it on EARTH. We already see it in others planets and they have a great oportunitty to set CAOS IN EARTH. Like begginningTHE MOVIE story like alredy in CAOS shopping centers destroyed, theaters tottaly destroyed and only RIPLEY VOICE SAYING WHAT HAPPENNED, describing everything that happen and in the present time that this plague is everywere and the few HUMANs strongling to stay alive… That they brought the ALIEN and didnt know, that they gotbigger, stronger, and evolved… then we go back in the past into the day they arrive to EARTH thinking that the ALIEN WERE DESTROYED… THINK AGAIN…. and the story stars from there!
Posted by filipe on April 5th, 2009SIGOURNEY WEAVER is the ultimate icon heroin, theres no other to play her role, like indiana must be Harrison Ford, like terminator must be arnold, like other examples. inspite of all of them SIGOURNEY as RIPLEY is the ultimate TOP ICON for this! SPECIALLY WE can see the LIFE of this character trought the yeas with all the movies, SIGOURNEY MUST BE ON IT! if NO its going to be a floop like alien vs perdator TERRIBLE
Posted by filipe on April 5th, 2009Hey…why not New York City or LA on Earth!! ya! …and then we can bring in Jason and Freddy Kruger! Hell, maybe Godzilla too!! GOOD LORD!! NO LAME EARTH setting PLEASE!! Soooo NOT very creative. It’s very unlikely there will ever be another anyway. AVP killed it! That’s what FOX’s greed did.
I say bring in the “derelict ship aliens.” I would still be interested to tie up that loose end. Bring it full circle. They were very large creatures, actually larger than the ALIENS themselves (aside from a queen). If they were the folks that engineered the ALIENS maybe since so much time has passed….perhaps they’ve engineered something much worse!
Posted by Graham on April 27th, 2009You People are Crazy!!! I agree with MATT at the top! Alien Resserection was the best film in the series! Pure masterpeace!!Dont get me wrong, i own every alien movie and love them all but none of them scared me more that the newborn at the end of Alien Resserection!! I think they should pick up right where they left of on Alien 4!! AVP 1 and 2 Sucked really bad though!!
Posted by Tony on April 28th, 2009For god sake all of you!!! I’ve just read all of the comments for the first time and now listen to my point of view. I am from the UK and when Alien: Ressurection came out I was living in the US at the time. The hype was huge, I was extatic and it was total shite, along with alien 3. So, whoever says otherwise is also talking total shite. Right, pay attention! As for the aformentioned AVP and LV 426 shananigans, think about it. When AVP came out (great idea, shite film) it was set in present day (2004) which kind of threw the whole timing out of whack in terms of the Alien franchise and its dates. However, at the end of that film, an Alien bursts out of a Predators chest, we can only assume that this menace took over the whole ship. This brings us to the future of LV 426, (or the past if you know what I mean) and you have a massive space craft that crashes on LV 426. Thats because it was a Predator space craft and it got taken over by the Alien and then it crashed because those slimey, acid for blood creatures ‘CANNOT FLY A BLOODY SPACESHIP’.
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 2nd, 2009So, you have your answer to the first film, ‘ALIEN’. It was a Predator spaceship taken over by an ‘ALIEN’ from the past, eerr…. or future, eerrr…… you know what I mean. Then, Aliens – cool film for action. However, strange gap of 50 odd years before the aliens come about again, infecting a colony and Ripley wakes up just in time to save the day, convenient timing. Maybe not! She might have been better off floating around for another fifty years until the whole thing blows over. All that action with that dude from Terminator (nice touch) then Alien 3 with ‘NO WEAPONS’ and they killed the terminator dude – AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH………………..! Totally boring. Then Alien 4, I say no more. As usual, Hollywood have either waited too long or simply rushed ideas and scripts for sequels to excellent films and as a result, they have totally ‘F#*KED IT’.
As for a fifth Alien – Don’t make me laugh.
What a waste of what started out as a first class sci-fi classic.
Nuff said.
alexjcrossley@yahoo.co.uk
Almost forgot. Somebody else mentioned about the ‘Laser Beam’ in the Alien space craft in the first instalment. And was questioned where the technology came from. Here again, it was ‘Predator’ technology. It all makes sense – Think about it.
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 2nd, 2009alexjcrossley@yahoo.co.uk
And one more thing….. Many people keep questioning the Aliens origin. An Alien planet or something. No, No, No. I’ve already explained, sort of. Look at the shitty AVP. That dude who is translating all that stuff carved in the pyramid, how he says that these warriors (THE PREDATORS) created a creature to fight and defeat, to show us humans who’s boss – GET IT!
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 2nd, 2009I don’t know if any of my explanations are true, I mean that is to say if AVP was meant partly to explain everything else. If not, then a big coincidence.
As for LV 426, it’s not gone. A nuclear explosion yes. But that didn’t necassarily destroy the whole planet.
Everything is all back to front and inside out anyway. I mean how can you have bishop in AVP in 2004 and he gets killed. Then he’s a droid years later in Aliens. Then he’s the real thing again even more years later in Alien 3. AND WHAT THE F#*KING HELL IS AVP 2 ALL ABOUT??? – IT’S AN INSULT!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHH……..!!!
And finally, seeing as ‘W’ corporation is ‘BUILDING BETTER WORLDS’ or something like that, can we not reasonable assume that there are many other planets that have been colonized by humans. This opens up a whole universe of mayhem and chaos. Inter-galactic Aliens, time-travelling Predators, infinate clones of Ripley. let’s throw in The Terminator and some Jedi for good measure. We could see the ‘Dark Side’ of LV 426 and Ripley could use ‘The Force’ and, and, and what the hell am I talking about. The voices are talking to me again. “In space no-one can eat icecream”
alexjcrossley@yahoo.co.uk
Alex Crossley – hmmm, i dont understand a word you’ve said. But get the impression you were not happy with AVP series – and i’m with you on that one
i do think they should return to the storylines roots….as i mentioned before, creating something that is dark, isolated, disturbing and horrifying
Cmon Ridley, James and Sigourney
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on May 3rd, 2009O.K. Prince Rogers Nelson. I do not understand why you do not understand ‘a word I have said’ as you put it.
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 4th, 2009If you have seen ‘ALL’ the films and have read ‘ALL’ of the comments, then I don’t see how you can’t understand my point of view. My consecutive comments 49, 50 and 51 explain what’s what.
I’ll have to wait and see what anyone else thinks, I’m suprised you said that.
But yeah, Ridley, James and Sigourney. Have to agree there. It’s that or nothing!

I just flicked through the commments again and paid particular attention to Brendan UK on comment 21. I agree with Prince Nelson Rogers, like yer flow. To pick up from ‘AlIENS’ and blow out alien 3 & 4. Bring back an aged Sigourney, Hicks, and Newt could be anyone as she is only a child in Aliens. Cool idea, would love to see all that goin’ on. More Aliens, more guns, more marines, more space stuff, more androids (Bishop), MORE, MORE, MORE……………
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 4th, 2009Oi, Prince Nelson Rogers, what kind of a name is that? Couldn’t you have found something a bit longer LOL.

Most people just know me as Prince
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on May 4th, 2009Sorry Prince, just me being stupid. But seriously, I thought I had touched on some answers to a lot of peoples questions – maybe not. I do have a tendancy to read into things a little too much. Anyway, what will be will be. Alien 5, 6, 7……..Who knows?

Lets just hope that whatever they do, its done with dignity and has Sigourney Weaver in the lead role…an ALIEN fix is long overdue
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on May 5th, 2009I still think they should leave avp now and concentrate on the xenomorph. set it 50 years in the future from where avp2 left off and set it in space (maybe a space station above earth – like in the beginning of aliens) and have it surrounding the company and their discovery of the alien. It can then move on eventually to the first alien movie and explain the company’s previous knowledge of the alien species
Posted by JD on May 12th, 2009JD – Hmmm that movie basis sounds like it has potential.
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on May 12th, 2009HHMMM…… INDEED MR.PRINCE. Incidently, at the end of ‘ALIENS’, how come Ripley didn’t set the escape craft that they were on to go back to the space station that she had woken up on at the start of the film? Why did they just go drifting off into the middle of nowhere? Also, good point JD. I had forgotton that ‘The Company’ did apparently have prior knowledge of the ‘Alien’, as mentioned by the droid in the original film. The more you look into ‘ALL’ the films, the more you can find holes in them, left, right and centre. James Cameron’ is the only man who could pull it off and make one almighty movie that ties up all the loose ends once and for all. I wanna see Ripley, Hicks, Bishop. Continue it from ‘ALIENS’ and ignore the rest. P.S. Don’t forget the cat
After thought:-
Posted by Alex Crossley on May 14th, 2009How about a comedy spoof movie with an ‘ALIEN’ a ‘PREDATOR’ a ‘TERMINATOR’.
Knowing my luck some asswipe will steal that idea and it’ll be really good, absolutely hilarious and make loads of money – you never know.

Hey all, so I am still drafting up a basic plot line for ALIEN ( 5 ) As i said befor above in section 21. So going to try put something together about the story and how to involve all the origanal actors who played Ripley, Newt and Hicks along with Bishop. The idea that they did all end up in a coma and that a technical problem with the suloco that will have messed with the suspended animation that is involved in the cryotube hyper sleep and this leads to Ripely – Newt and Hicks etc aging and perhaps laying in some-sort of coma . We find our selfs back in some sort of med lab unit in space, Ripley is still in a coma but alive, We hear foot steps walking down the corridoor coming closer to the med lab unit that riply is in, the doors slide open to show us Hicks, then Newt walks in, she walks up to the bed that ripley is laying in and she sits down next to her ( We hear ripleys heart rate on the machine beating. Newt looks at riply ( an older newt ) newt pushes back ripleys hair from her face ( ripleys heart rate starts to get faster ) Newts hand reaches down to ripley hand then Riplys body jups upwards ( like in Aliens ) holding on newts hands tight…..Riply is seen crying, hunching face down…
”Riply, were safe your ok…
Ripley look at me,
ripley …. it’s me , Newt.”
Ripley looks up into Newts eyes, as if she cant belive what she is looking at … she looks into her eyes and and puts her hand on her cheek, and say’s ..
”Newt”
No idea what next.. but it has to be meaning, after all she just lost her first child, then she found newt in Aliens then a coma ( ALIEN 3 & AR ) Dreaming that newt and hicks died and her own death and resurrection ) … lots to think about…
Posted by Brendan uk on June 1st, 2009sorry , it;s late.. and its Ripley!!! not Riply! lol woo!
Posted by Brendan uk on June 1st, 2009I have read all the comments and some of them are truly great. I can see all points of arguments about picking up the story from Aliens, and doing away with 3 and Resurrection…however
I actually enjoyed the surviving cast of A:R. Johner, Vriess and Call are all great characters. All they need is a good storyline.
As for their homeworld, why? Even if you did find the “homeworld” so to speak, there were probably hundreds of the eggs sent out throughout the galaxies, who knows how many “homeworlds” there are. Especially if they landed on a planet with only wildlife, nothing to really hunt and kill them. Within years, the entire animal population would be gone, leaving hundreds of thousands of xenomorphs on the surface waiting for a “visitor”.
I admit, that I too, have come up with a storyline. It takes place 20 years after A:R, so age will not be a factor for the actors. And they are roped, or should I say coerced,(lol) into helping the USM who have indeed discovered their “homeworld”. Or have they?
please feel free to look me up on facebook and leave me any comments.

Posted by Pineapple Dan on June 1st, 2009Brendan UK – YOU THE MAN!!!!!!
Posted by Alex Crossley on July 4th, 2009Excellent idea you’ve got. As I read your short masterpiece, I was picturing it in my mind. With an opening sequence like that, WOW, you could do anything.
Best idea by far. If Ridley, Cameron or anyone else steals that idea and makes it happen then get yourself a good lawyer and sue them to death.
By the way, if it comes to that, then don’t forget me – I could really use the cash

Posted by Ernesto on July 6th, 2009Hmmmm, it doesnt give too much away – are we sure its a done deal?
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on July 6th, 2009Honestly I don’t know. But from what I understand FilmXtra is a reliable source. But only time will tell.
Posted by Ernesto on July 6th, 2009its happening – ridley scott has confirmed
Posted by Prince Rogers Nelson on August 3rd, 2009I think alein would be the ultimate and it would only work if ripley(sigourney weaver) took the lead role. No prequils just a final show down between ripley and the aleins. It has being the best franchise ever nothing can match it in success. Everyone should just forget avp disaster and bring back another alein movie. The alei franchise needs a finale we need to see ripley go to the aleins home world.I feel its not finished and I need to see the end. They are most favourite movies nothing can top them. The franchise needs one more movie. We all want to see ripley back in action.
Posted by matthew on August 21st, 2009hell yes, one more slam bang hair raising butt clenching save the galaxie movie. can’t wait
