Sigourney Weaver to revive Alien character
SIGOURNEY Weaver wants to revive her Alien character in a sci-fi spin-off.
The 59-year-old actress says she would love to reprise her role as Ellen Ripley but has hinted it would not be in another instalment of the series.
She said: "There's definitely uncharted territory for Ripley.
“Both Ridley Scott and I feel a kind of commitment to that woman. He's as much responsible for who she is as I am.
"We'd have to go back to the drawing board on Alien. Ridley said that right away when we first talked about a fifth film.
"What we're interested in is taking the character of Ripley and seeing what other science fiction story we can tell about someone who has lived several lives."
But the actress is less than impressed by the idea of spin-off Alien Vs. Predator - which she admits she has not seen.
She told MTV: "I wonder whether there's unchartered territory for a creature who's become somewhat debased by this computer generated thing.
"I haven't seen Alien Vs. Predator but I just think if you overexpose the creature, that's a mistake."
