It looks like Sigourney Weaver would be interested in another aliens film is the right players were involved. We get the skinny from the WEBMASTER over at Film Junk:
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.”
I would be game for another Aliens film, but I don’t think I would want to see the Ripley character again. I wouldn’t mind if she was referenced in the film, but I think it would be needless to have her have another run in with these extra terrestrial killing machines.
I wouldn’t mind another aliens film set further in the future from where the last film left off. Now that humans are aware of the beasts and have studied them, earth’s hunters could have special exoskeletons designed to resist the acid blood of the monsters. Exterminators from earth could even be sent across the galaxy to eliminate the creatures…although, this may be too much like Starship Troopers.
What do you guys think? Would you like to see another Aliens film, and if so – would you prefer it with or without Ripley?
All the alien films are the best films ever made I would love to see more of ripley it would be a dream come true to have more off them to see . Even got a big tattoo of them on my arm . Love them all BIG TIME
Hopefully Prometheus lives up to our lofty expectations. I have a feeling it will ;-)
let tim burton have a shot at directing the next one…which will happen….it may end up being so stupid it just might work…
It would be cool if they made another Aliens movie and named the movie Aliens Earth wars or Alien wars set after the second movie so the 3rd and forth are just dreams in hypersleep, some how the alien has arrived on Earth maybe after the first AVP 1 the Queen is at the bottom frozen, somehow she get free and spreads across the planet but the Colonial Marines stop them in a giant battle the in citys or they could find the Aliens planet and explain how the first alien movie started and battle with Colonial marines,and they try 2 wipe them out or battle with predators as well, thats what AVP should have been like, i don’t know why they changed the path from a winning ideas Alien,Aliens, James Cameron has make another Aliens movie, Ripley could be in the movie,she great in Avatar, but Reiko Aylesworth-Kelly in AVP 2,she could replace Ripley if need be would be cool to see hicks again or Josh Duhamel from Transformers would be cool as a Colonial Marines. Not to bring back. But to wipe them out.
Well i have read all comments about the Alien/AvP movies, there is alo of good/bad vibes, but here is what i think should happen….
In my opinion ‘All’ the Alien movies were good, well the 1st stands out among the rest, 2 was good, 3 and 5 were not bad.. then they made AvP 1-2, i did enjoy the 1st but thought the 2nd was totally pointless and actually having the ‘Predator’ win but then NOOooo!!!! No winner..
Anyway back onto Alien 5..Cameron/Scott shoul be involved also i think Weaver is a must as Ripley..
Movie Franchises can only go so far before the storyline gets tedious (not saying Alien franchise will be tedious) just pointing out the facts, Rocky 1,2,3,4,5 *yawns* 6.. or Police academy 1,2, blah blah.. you see what i mean, you can only make so many then it just gets pointless..
Alien(s) 5 would be a must, to tie up all lose ends in all 4 movies, they should make AvP 3 first and end that trilogy.. then make Alien(s) 5 where Ripley would go back to the Aliens Homeworld and finish it once and for all, 1 final battle with these Aliens, maybe meet a new breed which could spin off into another movie, you see what i did there?
The 5th Movie could also incorperate some old friends, Hicks, Newt even the ‘Space Jockey’ to name but a few, Ripley could even start from Lv 426 at the beginning of the movie..
But it is just my opinion but whatever you want to say i did love the Alien Franchise and still do but they need to come up with an awesome script and keep Ripley in (as it would not be the same) like having Bruce Willis in die hard 1,2,3,4 then Die hard 5 starring Arnie lol it would not work!!!
Make Alien 5, have weaver/scott/cameron, a good storyline/script.. The franchise needs to finish on a high, then bring out a new breed of Alien from the movie to keep the Aliens still there but in the background and get Weaver to make this before she gets her bus pass LOL!! Peace out
They should go back to their home planet only to find that they are only microscopic and harmless to anything bigger than a bug. Except for a few laboratory specimens that were created by some clown that thought it was a good idea to mess around with nature.
It would explain why so much of their basic anatomy and physiology is similar in nature to that of insects. They are insects.
You would need to flesh it out a bit, like add a story, etc. But that is what I’d like to see done.
hihi yes an new movie would be good and all but it needs some one who know what he/she is doing maybe a Tv show would be good but short none of the 24 or lost crap, just keep it short like 5 episodes and Riply would be cool and all but she a bit over done. what happen if it was set where newt and her famly was all on that plante not much Army crap to be there and plenty of people to kill and lots
I definitely think Alien 5 needs to be done already. Alien 4 wasn’t bad but it wasn’t like the previous films. At least this one had a new twist to it and Ripley was in it. I read a possible script for Alien 5. If you search for it you can find it. It was basically takes place at the end of Alien 4. We need Ripley to reprise her character one last time and finally put her character to rest just like Stallone did with Rocky. Now I think the AVP films introduced some new things about the franchise like where Bishop originated from and more on the Wheyland Corporation. I think AVP2 was great how it left off where AVP ended and I think AVP3 should take place in the more distant future just like Alien 4 did. Either way both Alien 5 & AVP3 need to be made. I’m really excited for Predator 3 now that Robert Rodriguez is taking it on. I wish Ridley Scott & James Cameron would team up for an Aliens 5. Now that would be amazing.
I was going over in my head what i would like to see in a new alien film, Here’s what I think should happen:
Its should be Aliens-esque. To get the franchise back on track they need to retread old territory and introduce new characters.
They should introduce a new lead character (female ofcourse)
The film should open with a huge Weyland Star Freighter sending out several cargo drop ships to make a delivery on a terraforming colony (LV-179). Within the first five minutes, we should see a hole and some innocuous liquid on one of the supply crates – perhaps someone notices but doesnt think much of it. But the audience will obviously know its ‘contaminated’ and contains a facehugger.
SPACE STATION
Next we are introduced to the new female lead – lets just call her SARAH BURNSIDE, she is a environmentalist working for weyland – who in a conference proposes the integration of new plant species to the colonial planets – not just for aesthetic appeal but also because she believes many of the species she has gathered on her expeditions could help the process of terraforming – so Weyland fund her research and send her to (LV-179) with her young daughter, Samantha.
while on LV-179 there could be some very suspensful sequences with her daughter when they reach the colony – I was thinking of a sequence with Samantha playing hide and seek – hiding in the air vents – and chasing her friend, without the knowledge that there’s a possible alien outbreak occurring. . .
it’s also a little nod to the first two films.
So anyway, the outbreak occurs, and it kicks off an aliens-esque massacre. They send out a distress beacon and nothing more is heard or seen of Samantha or Sarah.
Then the story should cut away from the colony for a while, perhaps a few days have passed, and we are introduced to the MARINES who are about to mount a rescue mission – now, this is how you could potentially get Ripley into the story, she could be asked to lead the rescue mission because of her knowledge and her history with the creatures, obviously she would be reluctant at first but her conscience would get the better of her, just like in Aliens. Although, The story would still kinda work without her.
So Ripley leads the marines to the colony – the next hour or so would be similar ot aliens but on a larger scale – perhaps more set pieces and action sequences – Personally I would like to see more vehicle based action sequences – like APCs gunning down swarms of aliens etc.
They rescue Sarah and Samantha, the two sole survivors – obviously sarah kicks a lot of ass during the film, she wouldnt be completely helpless.
Maybe she even resues her own daughter, kinda like a newt rescue in Aliens. Then the marines take out the queen – maybe the queen emerges as they are leaving and they take her down in an APC VS Queen fight, or Maybe a drop ship VS queen fight – something to top the power loader fight.
Now for the twist and the fourth act.
We learn Weyland was behind the infestation – and planted the facehugger – to test it’s potential as a weapon etc. Ripley and the marines discover this.
Now there are two ways i see this going.
1, And return to Earth to warn of an impending attack, but find it’s too late an all out war has broken out. We’re talking INFESTATION, thousands of hives which means thousands of Queens. And we catch the first glimpse of what alien6 will be like in the final 30 mins.
or
2: Earth learns of weylands intentions in time, so we launch a massive assault on weyland and the alien homeworld.
hats kinda rough but you get the jist, obviously there would be more characters and situations etc.
what do you guys think – esecially regarding the ending???
Awesome samillions, awesome. But I read some rumors about a potential prequel just today! Personally, I would prefer to see your idea. I would definitely like to see the heroes reach Earth. I can imagine it now. Buildings covered in xenomorph webs and jeep fights! Sounds kind of like Halo! But I think it could work!
As for the early climax with the Queen fight, I think Weyland-Yutani/U.S Military/whatever it’s called now, should try and capture the queen instead of killing it a la Jurrasic Park 2.
First I want to say I would give ANY THING!!!! for an Alien 5….. or an Alien tv show (with Weaver)
second I hate AVP as much as the next guy but lets observe
1.good plot
2.good actors
3.good charictors
4.good setting
5.really bad timing, EVERYONE got killed at the wrong time!!!!!! I mean the blond was the ovous choise for the hard core survivor, I mean come on she was SO HOT, AND she was the one with the gun if she was the survivor that movie would have been so cool!
…’The Alien : Ripley Rivival’ i.e. part 4 of what i have been discussing would revive Sigourney Weaver as Ripley back again…but as it turns out there is indeed an actual Ripley created or genetically modified with alien embryo inside her!! but how could that happen? and in this way we would again see Burke from ‘Aliens’ back as well since he seemed very mysterious and threatening. There could be more about him. And that he wasn’t killed by the alien as we might’ve guessed but rather…lived! and it would be absolutely great to watch the human Ripley against the mother-of-all aliens i.e. the genetically modified Ripley…but interesting thing to watch would be how would the GeneticRipley cope/deal with her issues as a human in relation to the ActualRipley and the Alien?
…while Ripley is in coma, let’s have Hicks & Newt take the reins this time with Bishop (Lance Henrickson) who is partially physically revived but fully recovered later-on. For he is the key between what happened in Aliens & unlocking Ripley’s dreams in the ‘Alien:Origin/s’ where they would find ways to get back to earth. Could Ripley’s dreams be the key to the existence of mankind? but revelations of even more darker secrets along the way threaten them as they enter a planet believed to be Earth (as it was shown in the Sulaco’s log-which isn’t updated) but is now called Fiorina 161!!!…inhabited with people who are TEST subjects of Weyland-Yutani! Along the way we would like to see the derelict remains of the infamous Nostromo which seemed to have curiously docked in the LV-426 and why or how? also scenes happening inside that ship containing Giger’s stunning artwork which this time would or could reveal the origins of the Aliens!(finally) but wait a minute…were the Aliens i.e. in James Cameron’s ‘Aliens -part 2’ genetically modified and controlled by WY? for which they would end up being a lot smarter in the ‘The Alien IV – Ripley’s Revival'(which is shown in Ripley’s dreams of ‘Alien – Resurrection’?).
good idea
Well, now if i sit back and watch ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’-the original and its second part really complemented each other…absolutely! but very unfortunately Fincher’s third part-‘Aliens’ and ‘Alien: Resurrection’ completely tranquilized the venom that were delivered in Scott’s & Cameron’s visionaries…i say that indeed Newt and Hicks should come back which by the way i don’t think they died or should’ve died…while with the same cast that played these parts and having ‘Alien: Origin/s’ as the actual Part 3 created. And having Newt & Hicks being revealed that whatever happened in David Ficnher’s Aliens 3 & Jean Jeunet’s Alien 4 were actually the revelations of things to come in the near future!! while in this new ‘Alien:Origin/s’ part 3 Ripley’s character is in deep comatose whose dreams are the revelations! how about that!? Therefore, in this manner we can revive Alien back to its former glory.
I say do part 5, have it start off on earth, and take it to the Aliens home planet. You have to have Ripley! They’ve gotta figure something out!
If James Caomeron & Ridley Scott read this, just stop fannying around and give us the Alien 5 we want & expect, just bypass the last few movies & start off at end of aliens, we will buy it no problem.
If the space jockey alien developed the alien as a weapons system what other scary weapons have they got or have developed, surely we will be hiding under our seats.
Come on guys you know you want to make this movie.
I like see new Aliens 5 as long as James Cameron director. For he made most watch able Aliens movie ever. James had best cast over all Aliens movies he made story worth watching all way to end. With him as director story would be great and action would be more real than catroon stuff that was Anliens 4.
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so) I’m a big fan of the aliens series and I like to see another one done and the ripley brought back for another run. And I would like to see the Colonial Marines back in acton other than in a video game. Dont worry about it being part of the AvP series if you look at it they are in different time frames the Avp series is more like a predator 3 and 4. And starship troopers cant even compare to aliens. So please go ahead a make another one 4 and 5 were let downs the aliens serise has to redeem its self.
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
Ok, here’s what I’m thinking. Ripley would work for sure! Perhaps they can rerun a new course after the movie aliens, to where there’s an alternate ending, where Hicks and newt didn’t die. They’re all older because they were in hyperspace for a while. I want alien 5 to be similar to the ps2 alien vs,predator game extinction. Where the aliens were incubated an cloned for human weapons. The real aliens have to battle their cloned selves to save their own race as well as battling the military. The game also had 10 different species of aliens with different tasks. Whoever played that game knows exactly what I’m talking about. I would love to see that. This idea of alternate endings has never been done before, nor taking cool details from such a cool game.
i like your idea of that Ripley not be involved in the next addition of the aliens franchise, and that it is set further in the future. Yet what made the original alien movie so amazing is that it pushed the boundaries of what we thought an alien could be. Also the alien movie was known for it’s suspense, gore, and mystery; it kept it’s audience on edge. I think the new alien movie should try something new, instead of the mindless mundane human killing which we all already expect. Here is what i think should be done. The human race is now already familiar with what the aliens are and what they are capable off. So what if the aliens start to evolve, and change into something new as to adapt to the human prey. Another thing, instead of going back to Lv 426 how about a new encounter with a desolate alien space ship in deep space, similar to the one on Lv 426. This ship could also carries aliens which can account for why the aliens can evolve, prehaps the space shuttle carries a different strand of alien.
There are conditions for the re-birth of the Aliens franchise!
But that would only be worthy if someone like Ridley Scott or James Cameron were involved.
I personally believe that Scott is the right person for it, since Cameron had shown some years ago
his disbelief about the future of the sequel, right after the first AVP movie.(Which I can’t understand)
Ridley sugested that a great script for Alien 5 would be arround “The Pilot”
(The character sitted in the big ship in ALIEN), how did he get there…what went wrong in the flight…
how did all those eggs were placed in the ship?? These are questions for which we don’t have an answer and would certainly
bring some enthusiasm for the fans!
I also believe that one more AVP should be done, putting an end to the trilogy!
A good place for a start would be right after the events in the LV-426 colony.
If you guys remember Cpl.Hicks stated that a rescue mission would come for them 17 days after their departer from the Sulaco.
A story arround a team of US Colonial Marines in search for their buddies…ChestBursters leaving their eggs in “The Pilot”
ship (remember there were a lot of eggs) and finally a predator who was accidently passing arround in his ship and smelled “meat”…would be awesome!
What do you guys think?
PS: Sorry for my english, I’m Portuguese and i wrote the best i could! :)
Only Ripley can go back to LB243, to investigate where that ship with all those eggs came from. She finds it, plots the destination, and away she goes to meet even another new Alien/Species. This new species is like Predator, he works with humans, and helps Ripley, try to destroy Aliens bloodline. Extiguishing the behives and all eggs, including the queens. Wow, we will be melting in our seats.
Now this could go either way in the new Alien Planet and the new Alien. It could all turn into bloody horror. So, alot of us will be hiding under the seats too. Enjoy the journey to the real final frontier. Hey who knows they might even pick up a god like human with powers that can help Ripley in this new world….Thanks Cameron and Ridley, you guys take it from here……()()()()()eggs!!!!
Go the freak ahead
As for Sigourney Weaver returning for Alien 5, I hope they fit her wheelchair out with a built-in flame-flower, machine gun and grenade launcher. Seriously though, if Alien 5 is ever made, Weaver HAS to be in it, but I doubt if Scott or Cameron will direct, as their reputations in connection to these films are currently untarnished. Alien 5 will be a big gamble for them.
I fondly remember seeing a paperback novelization of Alien at a book shop at Hunstanton coastal resort, England, in 1979, aged 11, and being both mesmerized and horrified by some of the stills from the film that were included in the middle of the book. 3 years later, when I finally got to see the film on ITV, when it got its première, I felt sick with terror. That’s what a profound effect Alien had on me. Aliens was a worthy sequel. Alien 3 and 4 were let-downs, but not entirely without merit. Personally, I think it’s time to let the Alien franchise die, although a potential Alien 5 film having a plot involving the “space jockey” ETs and visiting the aliens real home planet could pique my interest.
If there going to make an Aliens 5 there going to need some good actors, I say bring back Hicks – Bien and Hudson – Paxon.Also it MUST me directed by James Cameron cuz Aliens was the shit and after the last to movies i think it needs a face lift and bring back some pride to the triogly. They need to do something cuz the fourth film was flop in my mind.
will suck huge balls unless the mongloids at fox sell the franchise (wich would never happen) so bottom line…it will suck because fox will hire the cheapest people and try to make a quick buck.
1. Fan here. got most of the comics.
2. the comics do go into the origin and the thing that was piloting the first space ship. Cult or something. The aliens have a psychotic affect
3. for everyone that thinks AvP (1&2) sucked, you should all go suck an egg. All i ever hear is people nagging ON and ON and ON about how they sucked.. generally it seems its their own fault for expecting WAY too much, or expecting Alien or Aliens
I personally find them all nice added additions. They arent one and two.. and maybe if AvP were the first ones you saw, then maybe you would like them, since thats where you picked up the story. This is something that some one else should not have to spell out, but you backed me into a corner with mindless, insessant, hear-yourself-talk nay-saying. The curse i wish on you is that Someone makes the Alien Vs Predator Vs Terminator comic into a movie, and you find it so appauling, you die of hatred.. and i laugh at you as i eat my popcorn and enjoy
Ideas:
1. Cartoon movie.. remember wizards, the hobbit, the last unicorn? i think an aliens movie of that caliber would be astounding. I could really see them getting the utter killing power and perfection of the bugs that way
2.Animation Omnibus- like Animatrix or The Batman one,
i think that could break the ice for reel movies
2. Earth War- this ones a given, hicks and newt back to earth.
that ones a little disturbing because hicks and newt arent heros
and im sure people need “heros” in their movies now adays
3. earth war- fast forward into the not so far future, and have
people fighting (losing) a war with aliens.. this movie would satisfy me because this would be one of those movies that ends where no one wins and would be very open ended, you could start a new cast of characters (that enivitably die, now thats good character) Also lots of room to expand on the whole wayland/ the “company thing” alot of people fighting for survival in a hopeless situation
4. Rogue, Labrynth, stronghold, sacrifice. Any of the mini-series of Dark-Horse Alien comics would do.
Hypothesis:
There is really so much material to get it, its daunting. I think alot of stuff has already been mapped out.. and there isnt much room
to make something new without stepping on some ones creative
or emotional or legal toes. It also occurs to me that most of the fans of the movies are really fans of the characters and directors..
not the idea itself. I think thats why i like aliens. The alien is so blank, an excellent vessel for the use of ones own ego. You can be the hero, you can be the victim, you can be the scientist or the hunter..
Opinion: Id rather that a few people others having a hand at making aliens come to life.. it seems theres enough back alleys in the Dark Horse Aliens world for people to run around and have fun..
But i think it needs to start smaller.. with a cartoon series.. and storywriters teamed with art directors to get everyone more comfortable.. but maybe thats the problem, maybe everyone doesnt want to become comfortable.. maybe things just started off too Grand.. maybe no one wants to relax and let the whole thing fall into place
Yes, it’s inevitable, Aliens 5 must and will come out and Ripley should be a part of it. Cameron and Ridly should do their miracle magic on this movie, being that it’s going back to the civilization of aliens who carried the zenomorphs from the begining. Wow, just look and imagine it, another monster to be introduced here too, one who transports thousands off eggs; who, why, where, when are the questions we need and will get answers to. Enjoy the movie HUMANS, and give thanks none of this is real yet……..
For directing, I think that Ridly Scott should do it but James Cameron should be assistant dirrector since Alien and Aliens for no dought the best two movies of the franchise.
But the queen has already been killed like 2 or 3 times. plus there is no remains of the colony at LV-426 since Aliens when the Enviroment Control structure went thermonuclear. Also the eggs in the derilect spacecraft have been sitting there for 200 years since last used.
dude there is more than one queen be in this world duh like bees the some times when an alien comes out of a host it turns into a queen duh!
I agree with you, I made a mistake indeed!
Doug
You should’ve cropped this pic a bit, and used the nippley’s for your next instalment of “Name that Torso”… I don’t think anyone would’ve got that it was SW!
BTW
Never watched the Alien movies, and have no intention to, so a 5th to me is a waste of money…Still, the world could always use a good Sci-Fi action flick…
I enjoyed all of the Alien movies (including the not so great Alien ressurection and the 2 AVP movies even though they were sub par to the first 2 movies. Should Sigourney Weaver do it? I don’t mind. I managed to get some enjoyment out of Aliens Vs Predator Movies, so Ripley would be welcome and bring it back to its roots a little… After all, isn’t she an alien human hybrid now with all sorts of abilities?
The other thing is say she doesn’t do it. I wouldn’t mind them doing what they are currently doing with the terminator movies. Making a new trilogy that doesn’t discount the movies already there, but has new characters and new situations. Or take it to the Alien homeworld and like previously mentioned, do a better version of starship troopers or Pitch Black.
I’m Game
Bring Ridley Scott back and travel to the Alien home world and discover new aliens besides the ones we know about. We only see the deadly fighting Alien. What about the “space jockey” alien who flew the ship in the first movie?
FYI: a sida is a soda only with more sids in it….
Get ready. Grab a sida and chips. Here comes the novella.
“Alien 3” had its flaws, at least half of of them due to the infamous production problems and in house bickering. As time went on, we have since overlooked the flaws and disappointments of Alien3 (and wished they kept the damn ox!) and have elevated it to cult status.
“Alien Res” had three main problems. One was that the aliens now moved with lightning speed (dodging bullets at close range for example) two was Joss Whedon’s script (Home Shopping network, WTF is that?!) , and third was an editing problem which could have made Whedon look a little better (cut out 99% of the one liners.) But there are still some stuff in Alien Res which I did like. Mostly the surreal stuff, and the underwater alien gag…
But forget all that nonsense. How good or bad you or I think about Alien 3 and 4 is irrelavant
Yes, an Alien 5 would be welcomed, with or without Weaver (I would like it “with” myself. and I agree the alien-human could be explored) and, for that matter, with or without the equally lovely Winona Ryder.
BUT the problem is that…..that….that AvP garbage which was a double edged sword.
*If* you supported AvP2, it would “tell” Fox that you want to see more aliens flicks or Pred flicks. Sadly, *If* you did, Fox would then turn around and say ‘well, the people seem more hungry for AvP3″ Don’t support it? ‘Well, they don’t want any more ‘Alien’ or ‘Pred’ films’…
Indeed, the mantra of both AvP films is that they are supposed to be ‘stand alone’ films which they aren’t “supposed” to be part of the Alien or Predator* continuity. But when the films come out, that promise is quickly violated. So *now* you have a whole new crop of “fans” who accept such continuity and/or the film series itself. Even some (not all) of the fans of the separate franchises have accepted AvP and those two films.
I promise I will not say the “R” words. “Toober” spelled backwards is a sad and cowardly option, and I don’t think they’d “ekamer” Alien (or Predator)
The only way, I think, is to do something in Alien 5 that would contradict something, if not everything, in the AvP movies. But given the Alien timeline where in 4 the Company no longer exists, how can it be done?
It can.
But it won’t. For as soon as Alien 5 talk starts up again, talks of the next AvP will not be far behind. To our utter dismay, the writing on the wall suggests AvP3.
I’d much rather have the Preds fight the ID4 aliens, who stop by the Pred homeworld to steal the planet resources by killing everything in sight. But they didn’t expect an even fight…armies of Predators….
No, no, no Mr. Rothman! I’M JOKING! Please don’t…
Do it.
There is in my opinion a gigantic opportunity for a new storyline in the Alien franchise and it is buried right in the first film.
The pilot of the alien spacecraft. We never found out what he/she/it was about. Where did he come from? What race did he belong to? What is their history with the Aliens? Are they extinct or still out there somewhere?
I don’t know why this hasn’t been already explored in the previous films. I’d love to see what they what do with this concept.
There is another alien race out there. Let’s meet them.
Of course I’m only interested if Sigourney Weaver and Ridley Scott or James Cameron are involved and if they stick to the original timelime (or more or less the one established in Alien4).
But I doubt this will happen. Those fucking AvP-films buried one of the best franchises in the history of cinema. Even more reason to hate these steaming piles of shit.
It might sound like a stupid name, but it’s true…that creature was called a “Space Jockey”. Google it, and you’ll see what I mean…but just to be safe, Google it as “Alien Space Jockey”. Peace!
so IM a huge fanboy of this series..art..and everything that is aliens…..the books and the comics are awesome places to start if u are into this darkhorse did a wonderful job and i owe them many many many hours of love for letting me enjoy there universe…..in the future the jelly sack of the queen is super valuable for the pharmecutical grade drugs it produces ..well eventually after multi generation xbreeding there eventualy become just pretty flat out awesome aliens…but i love the suits the space marines have that are covered with a special gel that absorbs a good amount of blood,,,oh the list goes on and on but basically all the movies after 2 screwed it all up…..imagine Seattle over run with a nest the size of a scyrise…..just plain awesome…go go go ….get rid of that anderson guy who rights lame scripts 4 a living.
I’m all for an Alien 5 if it’s done well. I’m one of the few people on the planet who found some redeeming qualities in Alien: Resurrection, although I’m also the first to admit it was a severely flawed film. Someone made the comment above that they’d like to see a re-imagining of the franchise, and I definitely agree! But a re-imagining, not a remake. I don’t want anyone else to play Ripley–there can be only one, and that one is Sigourney Weaver. But I think it would be pretty cool if there were a few nods to Ripley, maybe even a special appearance in a minor sort of way, and then the story moved on with new characters and new locations.
Assembly Cut Alien3 FTW!@#
Nothing can stop Aliens 5 , 6 ,and 7. Its just a question of time.
Ps
You guys should call this “The Movie Boob blog”. Its just boobs every chance it gets here. I can see right thru that shirt btw, and I’m on a Blackberry.
That photo is from the first Aliens.
Unless it has been done (I fell asleep during A3 back in the 90s), I’d like to see Weaver having somehow become an Alien/Weaver hybrid. I can see that creating the empathy and pathos of, say, the first two Frankenstein films. That creature was both monster and human, and the story had something larger to say about the human condition in the modern world than the subsequent Alien or AVP films had to say about anything other than film action. I could go on, but I’m almost as bored as you are.
I remember that James Cameron was asked to do another film after Aliens; he said he would direct 4 if Ridley Scott came back for 3. That would have been cool.
AVP may have killed the whole thing for me. My dad took me to see Alien in the theatre when I was 6 or 7 years old. For the longest time since, it was the scariest film I have ever seen. Now the Aliens are not scary anymore. I didn’t see AVP2, but the first one was just retarded. So, I think a 5th film is a bad idea, unless Ridley comes back with an absolutely killer story, but seeing how 20th CF is only after the cash cow, that likely won’t happen.
I love Ripley but I only love the first two movies.
I don’t count 3 or 4.
I can think of tons of great ideas… just find someone that loves the franchise, but wants to reinvented it. Take it to a new level.
I agree that the future is the way to go… let’s finally see Weyland get their hands on the creatures and see how they use them as weapons. Maybe they figured out ways to control them… of course things go wrong like Jurrassic Park style…
Can’t see it happening. Alien Ressurection was awful and the AVP films are atrocious.
The original is a classic of course.
Wasn’t it just a couple of months ago that she said she no longer wanted to play Ripley? Fickle, fickle.

Not sure about this one to be honest…they ripped the world of Aliens right out of its chest when they made the fourth installment, an utter pile of shit in my opinion. I can’t possibly see what they can do to make the series any more surprising or entertaining.
Here’s an idea….LETS MAKE SOMETHING NEW!
you are so full of crap a 5th alien movie with Riply would be AWASOME!!! also it would make a good television show!!! (by the way the 4th alien movie was the best.
i totally agree it would be cool to see alien on earth sigourney could teach the military about them and she could help fight them off with her know how oh they could add a twist with the predator coming in to help at some point now that would be cool. the possibility are enbless.
Alien 5, surely :)
Well in dreamland, they would re-do Alien 3 and make a sequel that takes place on Earth and doesn’t kill off Hicks and Newt. That would never happen but it would certainly get our attention if they would.
Regardless of what it could be, if Sigourney is game, so am i.
i’d still be up for ripley again.
There was an interesting comic I caught an glimpse of an while back where an Alliance (or whatever the future military is called) frigate is sent with around one hundred marines to test new biological weapons and such against the aliens in their breeding grounds.
Eventually as things tend to do, the shit hits the proverbial fan and the marines soon face the challenge of going into the deep nests of the aliens with limited supplies and killing their queen.
Fun times.
