I’ve got a world of respect for Sigourney Weaver. I truly stuns me that this woman doesn’t get more credit for her pure acting ability than she actually gets. Oh sure, a lot of people talk big about love for Aliens and such… but her really strong performances often get over looked. Oh well… I guess that can happen when you’re part of a massively successful franchise.
Anyway, there has been a lot of talk recently about Weaver and new Ghostbusters and Aliens films. But whilw going out and about talking about Avatar, Weaver dismissed any rumors about her personal involvement in them… or if they’ll happen at all. Cinematical gives us this:
Regarding [Aliens], fortunately Weaver tells The Desert Sun, “I love the character, but I think the monster, once they did the other film (Alien vs. Predator), which I never saw, but that really maxes our monster out.”
But what about Ghostbusters? Apparently, Dan Aykroyd is keen on doing some sort of CGI-based third installment. Well, according to Weaver, that’s not going to happen either; at least, not with her: “I think all of us are busy doing so many things and it’s wonderful all the films are so well loved and they certainly were fun to do. But I think if you do it right the first time, sometime it’s better to move on to something else.”
Now just because she won’t be involved in them doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be more Ghostbuster or Alien films at all… but it’s too bad if she’s not. Ghostbusters without here just seems a bit empty to me. But I’m sure it’ll be fine. Oh wait… no it won’t… it’s a horrible idea to start with.
