Overview

• Disney confirmed a new Alien feature is in development, with no timetable, casting, or release details announced.
• At New York Comic Con, Sigourney Weaver said she has met with Fox/Disney about potentially reprising Ellen Ripley.
• Weaver said producer Walter Hill wrote 50 pages she called “quite extraordinary” and said she is considering collaborating with him on the rest.
• She described the pages as focusing on a society that sidelines someone who tried to help humanity and noted the xenomorph appears.
• Weaver has previously resisted returning to Ripley, and the discussions come as the franchise expands with Alien: Romulus and FX’s Alien: Earth.
