>At a New York Comic Con “Alien” reunion panel, Weaver revealed that longtime friend and filmmaker, the great Walter Hill, has penned 50 pages imagining Ripley’s life now—and according to Weaver, it’s “quite extraordinary.”>“I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but I have had a meeting with Fox or Disney. I’ve never felt the need [to reprise the role]. I was always like, ‘Let her rest, let her recover.’ 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, but she’s a problem to them, so she’s sort of tucked away.”https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/10/10/sigourney-weaver-teases-return-to-alien-with-walter-hills-extraordinary-new-script
>>215151269would
Fuckin stop this shit already
>>215151269she could play the alien with that face
>>215151269She can't do much fighting anymore, but she can tell stories that don't go anywhere to the aliens. Like the time she was working on Gorillas in the Mist which was called Monkey Business at the time, and I was wearing a utility belt, because my character was studying gorillas and gorillas need a lot of different thing, people think gorillas like bananas, but that's a misconception, the gorillas on our set liked apples most of all, especially honeycrisps. Coco the lead gorilla, she loved honeycrisp apples, her handlers, were Linda and Dave and Dave would come with a whole barrel of apples and Coco would eat the whole thing! Aliens leave earth and decide it's just not worth it.
>>215151269Great we need another Alien movie/TV show. Said no one ever
>>215151335
>>215151269Did anyone tell Hill and Weaver that Ripley died in Alien 3? Also lmao at that description, sounds like absolute trash.
>>215151756They’re probably talking about her clone
>>215151756They have infinite Ripleys now because the plot demanded it
>>215151781Ripley's existence is totally irrelevant 200 years into the future because W-Y doesn't exist and the aliens are a novel curiosity for horny scientists.
who is asking for this?anyone?anyone?
>>215151906Weaver is. And that writer is. They see their chance since the recent offerings have effectively put the franchise in the garbage bin
>>215151269>Ripley’s life nowUm, what?
>>215151956The franchise has been in the bin since 1992
>>215152009Have you not seen Resurrection? Didn't play Isolation? They've got two generations of Ripleys running around they could play with. The problem is nobody really gives a fuck about Ripley. She's a vehicle to carry the plot forward by her interacting with the xenomorphs. They're what we came to see. They're the interesting bit. Not some space trucker
>>215151956>franchiseWhat franchise? There are only two Alien movies. Everything else is shittier than dogshit
>>215151269She should have been back for Blomkamp's alien. Also Michael Biehn and the character Newt. Whatever nonsense they'd make with her now would just be ass. They completely lost the plot on the Alien series and have no clue how to make a coherent story and lore out of it anymore.
>>215151269She's older than Lou Rawls, how's she gonna do an action movie
>>215152295>They've got two generations of Ripleys running around they could play with.Amanda should have been a one and done. She looked for her mother, found out what happened, got her closure, retire back to Earth and die. But of course, we all know they will shove her into Alien Isolation 2 and contrive a reason that she le actually didn't die and they lied this whole time! They can't help but make it as stupid as possible, running sequels into the ground so you can't take anything seriously.
>>215152295>Have you not seen Resurrection?everythuing after 3 is not canon
>>215152483stop forcing isolation her daughter didnt even do this
>>215153112>3typo?
>>215153154no not a typo, 3 was the perfect end to her nightmare, it was a carthatic release and end to the misery and suffering of her life while also stopping the alien from reaching earth, thats what she died doingits the perfect ending, prove me wrong
>>215152295It was so regarded for her daughter to be in Isolation. This is on the same level of a sequel that focuses on what happened to her cat after Aliens. I mean, Jonesy stayed on that station so surely he encountered a xenomorph. Somehow.
>>215153129Isolation is canon and better than 90% of the Alien franchise. The majority of Alien movies are shit and don't belong anywhere near Alien/Aliens. Unlike Isolation.
>>215153227It's fantastic, makes perfect sense, and completely plausible. Far more so than any of the other crap movies, like eggs magically appearing on the Sulaco and creating a fire just in time when the ship is near a planet (which they should be weeks from) to magically drop them down on. You're the retard for not understanding Amanda's role in Isolation.
>>215151269weeatin'good
>>215153274OH LAWD, DEM CLONINGZ
>>215152483Your mistake is thinking what Burke told Ripley about her daughter was the truth. That's how they're going to keep going with Isolation. They'll build an entire mythos around her, which will explain why they were so insistent on getting rid of her mother when she popped back up
>>215153261they didnt magically appear the queen was still laying them and as a defense mechanism laid some before she fought Ripley, are you fucking retarded?
>>215151269Her character died in Alien 3. Just leave it that that. If they want a new movie, then they should try to fix the massive fuck-up job Covenant made out of the story direction Prometheus was heading in.
>>215151269You could go grab a bunch of good-looking randos off the street to play Colonial Marines, pit them against Xenos on planet wherever the fuck and more people would show up than whatever this is.She's almost 80 also. Anyone seen Arnold in the second season of FUBAR? It was painful to watch at times. Let it go.
>>215153230the first 3 films are the perfect beginning, middle and endthere is no daughter she died of old age, and her second daughter newt died, get over it
>>215153230This man fucks
>>215153323man fuck your isolation side bitch story, its not canon, any alien fan knows thisyoure telling me Amanda wasnt sending videos to her mother on the nostromo as a kid and ripley didnt have any of those videos kinda like murphy on interstellar?The real Ripley shuld have hundreds of videos from her and it's not even mentioned once
>>215153261Oh, I get it. You’re just a tasteless idiot who enjoys trash fanfic-tier writing. You must’ve clapped when Rey was revealed to be related to Palpatine. Or when Kirk died in Into Darkness.
>>215153417You clearly don't understand how radio signals work
>>215153323>Your mistake is thinking what Burke told Ripley about her daughter was the truthNah, that would just be extremely contrived decades late retcon garbage. It's the worst bullshit made by 1/10 fanfiction authors just trying to crank out shit. It's on par with Alien 3. They just need a story to fart out of a movie and don't care. "Just make eggs magically appear, no one gives a shit anyway". Now it would become "just make Burke have lied to her, no one gives a shit anyway". Yawn. Burke was not this giga-liar you want to pretend he was. Everything shown on screen was the way it was. You don't get to go back half a century later, change it, and tell everyone to adjust their headcanons to pretend it was that way the whole time.
>>215153314jej
Geriatric Indiana Jones and Terminator failed but surely this time the public will want to see boomer leads.
>imagining Ripley’s life now"Ripley runs a roller disco in West Hollywood by night. By day, she works as a private investigator, with three sexy roller skating girl detectives for brains, and a Xenomorph for muscle."
>>215153498>lies about why they're going to the planet>lies about killing all the aliens>lies about taking samples back>lies about sending colonists out to investigate the ship>lies about trying to get Ripley and Newt impregnatedYes, he actually was the giga liar we all know he was. Putting it past him to lie about Ripleys daughter is naive at best
>>215151269Please bring back Moot. At least he gave a shit.
They need to give up
>>215151269Please bring back Newt. And have her played by Zendaya
>>215151906I'd like to see what shitshow they come up with
>>215153713It's an on-topic thread, my dude.
>>215151756I don't think anyone would complain about decanonising Alien 3 except me bnecause it's based
>>215153662I'm not NOT listening
But what about the bonus situation?
>>215151269More nostalgia baiting because that's exactly what everyone loved about Romulus!
so we have Romulus 2, Alien Earth, Ridley still wants to do Prometheus 3, theyre hinting at AvP again, and now Alien 5 which will probably ignore 3 and 4. all for franchise that felt worn out after 2 movies
>>215154060Jones was awarded the lot.
>>215154101It's just fascicle at this point.
>>215154158can't believe that's a real word i'm floored
Still trying to milk shekels from 50 year old properties instead of creating something new people want is exactly why (((Hollywood))) no longer matters.
>>215151269FINALLY a sequel to Resurrection. Now I'll know what happens when they land on earth.
>>215154270It's a shithole, as I recall.
>>215151906Is she going to make food for the cast or something. Im not sure why she would be there.
is alien 3 worth watching? my favorite is aliens. i already know that newt and hicks die but that doesnt bother me t b h
>>215154101they can make 50 alien movies in the next 10 years if they want. The franchise died with the Alien 3 (and thats a good thing)
>>215154270You can make up whatever you want. It'll guaranteed be better than what these doofuses come up with. They'll just get it from an AI prompt anyway like they did with Alien Earth
>>215152133alien isolation came out in 2014
>>215154101The only good one on the horizon is Alien Isolation 2. All the others are literally just derivatives for Alien Isolation or unrelated to Alien like Prometheslop.
>>215151269I propose a movie where signorney and Susan Sarandon fight to see who can bed the most shotas all played by me of course
>>215155226Spin off media released 28 years after the last good movie doesn't bring a franchise back from the dead, especially one that had released loads of material during that time period, it's just a happy little accident that one thing turned out ok.
>>215155320>doesn't bring a franchise back from the deadIt literally, unironically, 100% did kek. Alien was dead until Isolation revitalized it. Now every single thing that's come out is copying it as hard as possible. Romulus and Earth stole their only good parts from Isolation then crammed in a bunch of dumb shit.
>>215155350Not really, Covenant wasn't made because Isolation did well, Scott just wanted to do more slop, and both it and Prometheus made money so it wasn't even financially viability it rekindled. Artistically the franchise is bankrupt and has nothing to offer, the game was just the good films in a new format (equivalent of a remake)
wow this 85 year old woman might be in an action movie again, just like my heckin 80s!
>>215151269Clear sign of zoomer writers not knowing how to fucking write anything without it being a reference or political.>Uhhhh how do we write an alien script?>Dunno, lets just bring back ripley again and have her be all motherly and narrowly escape at the end
>>215151269Disney will never allow anything like that. They are intentionally trying to destroy Alien like they did with Star Wars. >>215151906Walter Hill is a great writer.
>>215151303>seghourny weaver?
>>215151906I want more Alien. I really, REALLY don't want geriatric Ripley. Am also real tired of the series being female-heroine oriented.>>215155109Yes. It's a genuinely depressing movie but it adds sovl to the worldbuilding. It's cold and uncaring.
>>215154270>Now I'll know what happens when they land on earth.They literally show Earth is a dumpster at the ending scene.
>>215157341The fuck is this shit? I don't remember this scene.
>>215157365just retarded shit from a retarded turd of a movie
>>215157365resurrection director's cut
>>215151269They should just cast moot.
>>215151756ripley is alive and landed on earth with a French cripple and Jewish ape
