Having been asked about an Alien sequel over and over again, it appears that Sigourney Weaver is still interested.

God, I hope she does another Alien.  They are all fantastic films and she is just so amazing.

It always seemed to me that the Aliens & Predator movies should be franchised. I mean, with Aliens at least, the general concept is good enough to live on without Weaver. Pass the torch to Winona Ryder; do a Predator crossover. Whatever. If the stories are good, money can be made.

I agree. It seems like they could make more movies set in either the alien or predator universe, but thye don't need weaver to do it. After all the movies weren't called "Ripley" were they? They have lots of source material for both projects. There have been many excellent comic series about bothe Aliens and Predator which could be made into great movies. Though just like anything else, after a while they should put it to bed. Anyway, Just my opinion.

Nooooo! Not Winona Ryder... Anyone but her. The Aliens would take one look at her and laugh...

Can you imagine little Winona carrying anything more than a handgun? She'd fall over...

I'm not sure a Predator crossover would work. Part of the Predator appeal is the concept of alien's using our present-day planet as a hunting/proving ground. "Aliens" has done nicely with its deep-space futuristic setting. Crossing them could potentially steal one's appeal from the other.

Before an "Aliens 5", I'd like to see a "Predator 3". If they could make it fly with a female lead, maybe in a remote location again, then maybe they can squeeze something worth seeing out of the concept (hell, it could even be pretty good sub-zero setting a la The Thing - takes away the thermal imaging advantage somewhat).

Aliens really held the only banner for female-led action films before Laura Croft, so a replacement for Weaver on the series should really be female (I agree her role has become tired out...), although Winona, god love her, wouldn't be my first choice. In fact, I can't think of anyone I'd like to see do the role, so maybe the Aliens series should die with Ripley after all...

I'm not smoking anything; I just think that Sigourney is so awesome.  I wish she could bear my children.

Alien Resurrection...Too bright & clean for an "Alien" movie.  I love the dark, dank, dirtiness of the "Aliens".  And as for anyone but Weaver, I don't think it could really work.  I mean, she was the epitome of the strong, kick-ass, sensitive woman.  Who could fill those shoes?

Sigourney crapped out a 5 small turds yesterday and she stated to Variety "that it reminded her of 5 aliens".  This could be great news for fans eagerly awaiting this long anticipated sequel.

The Alien universe and the Predator universe are not separate.

Watch Predator 2 very very carefully. The scene inside the Predator ship reveals that the Predator has killed an Alien.

Just fyi.

Two possibilities--Ashley Judd (as long as they don't try to go cutesy or anything).  She's capable of playing a strong lead.  But also Carrie-Anne Moss would also be (I think) a great choice.

There are other female hero movies..for example those directed by Harlin (Ok..they are 100% sh*t) but nobody bought the idea.

I think they should try to do a film with the Aliens, Marines and a couple of predators.

No! Predator 2 was a piece a sh!t hanging from a desperate movie studio's hook!

And the alien skull in the predators ship is absolutely pathetic! Why?! Well,in case you didn't know, an alien has an EXOskeleton - its skleton is on the outside (hence the EXO). What was seen in Predator 2 was a skull of bone - it was white like a human's. The alien skull is BLACK.

Thats how pathetically inconsistent and pitiful the predator films are and it is also why an AvP film is an absolute no in the minds of all TRUE Alien film fans.

I'd just as soon rip off a predators head and sh!t down it's throat, as to go and see a 2-hour movie about them.

There was once a fantastic story site V Aliens, could have made a great movie sequil with militery police, also the author planed another sequil with 2 bishops civilians, the space jockey ship orbiting the sun with forcefields and the militery police again + Newt called Aliens V Preditors Appocolispe War
