Might we see Ripley return to the Alien universe?
Last weekend at New York Comic Con, Sigourney Weaver sat down with Josh Horowitz of Happy Sad Confused to discuss her work in the legendary Alien films as well as her other iconic Sci-Fi roles.
In a shock to everyone Weaver said “[‘Alien’ producer] Walter Hill is a very good friend of mine, and he wrote 50 pages of where Ripley would be now, and they’re 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. I think it’s a very strong first 50 pages. I’m thinking about working with Walter to see what the rest of the story would be.”
With the Alien series seeing a huge resurgence, could this be the right time for Ripley to appear once again? Only time will tell.
