While browsing through UK website OK! Magazine, I stumbled across a piece of news that raised one of my eyebrows - Sigouney Weaver is still very much interested in returning as ALIEN heroine Ellen Ripley if 20th Century Fox would ever consider doing an Alien 5. "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." Weaver - who first played Ripley in 1979 at the age of 30 before going on to star in ALIENS (1986), ALIEN 3 (1992) and ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997) - says if sixtysomethings such as Harrison Ford (INDIANA JONES) and Sylvester Stallone (ROCKY, RAMBO) can do it, so can she. Fox, are you listening? Enough of this AvP crap! ...Read More
