Overview
- At New York Comic Con, Weaver said she has had a meeting about reprising Ellen Ripley for a new sequel written by Walter Hill.
- She described Hill’s pages as exploring a present-day Ripley in a society that would incarcerate her and keep her tucked away.
- Weaver called the concept a very different kind of Alien that would not be running around air shafts and said it reads as scary.
- She expressed interest in continuing with Hill on the script but noted there is no greenlight or production plan yet.
- Weaver, long hesitant after the collapse of Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, praised Hill’s approach and also complimented FX’s Alien: Earth.
