This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Alien franchise veteran Sigourney Weaver addresses whether she could still return as Ellen Ripley for a new movie while at New York Comic Con.
Speaking at the franchise's panel at NYCC, for which ScreenRant is in attendance, Weaver reveals that Alien franchise writer and producer Walter Hill has written 50 pages of a script that catches up with an older Ripley. Though Weaver didn't originally think more Ripley story was necessary, she does say that, "It’s a very strong first 50 pages." The actor then outlines what Ripley's new adventure would be about, explaining why it could serve as a fitting return for the franchise's most iconic hero: “I was always like let her rest, let her recover. But what Walter has written first of all seems so true to me. It’s about a society who would incarcerate someone who’s tried to help mankind but she’s a problem for them…” As for whether the project will ever see the light of day, Weaver isn't sure, but she does offer a glimmer of hope, revealing that an official meeting did take place with the studio: “I don’t know if it’s gonna happen but I have had a meeting with Fox, or Disney or whoever it is now.”Alien Movie Alien, Aliens , Alien 3 , Alien: Resurrection , Prometheus , Alien: Covenant , Alien: Romulus Created by Ridley Scott First Film Alien Latest Film Alien: Romulus Upcoming TV Shows Alien: Earth Cast Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton, Charles S.
