It’s possible. Sigourney Weaver told OK Magazine that she wouldn’t mind bringing her character back to the big screen. With the comeback of other notable film icons such as Rambo, Rocky, Indiana Jones and John McClain, Mrs. Weaver may be looking for something similar.
“I would definitely do another if I had a director like Ridley Scott and we had a good idea,” she says of the classic sci-fi movie franchise. “Ridley is enthusiastic about it.”
This poses a small problem as fans of the Alien series may remember, Ellen Ripley is dead. I have been reading some comments in regards to this latest interview and was reminded that it was Mrs. Weaver herself who asked to have the character killed off so that she would no longer have to play her. Careful what you wish for, I guess.
Even so, I still think they could do this, and give the Alien franchise the movie fans wanted after seeing the sequel. That is, Ripley, Newt, Bishop and Hicks alive and well…well, maybe not so well. I read a post over at CinemaBlend.com about a script that had the gang floating in hyperspace, much like the way Ripley was doing between the first and second film, for 300 years. This would explain the aging. They mention that the final two movies were just dreams being had by Ripley while in suspended animation. I’ve heard worse ideas get made into movies…I mean, anyone go see Hancock? Yeah, like I said.
