Dont do it Sigourney...

I’d watch another ripley movie but i think sigourney should pass the torch. All these super old actors doing action movies just end up like that liam neeson fence jumping scenes.

Let these people retire and let some young bloods take over.

Obligatory Neeson fence scene (17 jump cuts):

Just ... NO. The xenoverse has successfully moved on. Can we stop focusing on Ripley, please? There are so many great facets to explore, so many great tropes and plots. How about we get a series about the formation and adventures of the Jackals?*

Gripes aside, I'd watch a Ripley movie in the theater at least once.

*Did anyone else have hopes that Siberian in A:E turned out to be Zula Hendricks?

Aaaaaaand that’s why they’re making it.

Not every Alien movie has been great but they sure beat the Terminator series and I will always watch them. Sigourney Weaver kicks ass.

Let that poor woman (and that poor character) rest in peace. Her return in Resurrection was already straining credulity, and it spoiled her dramatic exit in 3. Let's not make things any worse.

i don't expect her to be wearing the same outfits

Scallops@ttrpg.network · 3 pts · 327d

She better be.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 327d (1 reply)

She's 76. Plenty of actors work past that age.

I'm interested in how this would work, considering the ending to Alien 3.

Oh, wow! I had no idea they made one after 3!

There are 7 films, 2 crossover predator films, 1 TV series, a freaking play, and more video games than all of them combined. Plus we got Raised by Wolves, which is Alien in my dreams.

They could potentially do an adaption of one of the novels.

For example, Alien: Out of the Shadows, which is set between Alien and Aliens.
