Return of Ripley? Sigourney Weaver teases potential new Alien movie after reading ‘extraordinary’ script
Sigourney Weaver appears to have changed her mind on Alien films
- Sigourney Weaver is seriously considering reprising her iconic role as Ellen Ripley in the Alien franchise.
- Her potential return is prompted by an "extraordinary" 50-page script written by producer Walter Hill.
- The script explores Ripley's current situation, portraying her as an outcast in a society that views her as a problem.
- Weaver, who last played Ripley in 1997's Alien: Resurrection, had previously expressed disinterest in returning to the role.
- She has held discussions with Fox/Disney regarding the project, despite a previous attempt for her to return in Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 being scrapped.
