While Ridley Scott puts the finishing touches on his latest alien movie, Prometheus, original Alien crew member Sigourney Weaver has expressed her desire to return to the franchise.
The actress – who recently starred as a scientist in James Cameron’s Avatar – recently confessed her desire to revisit the Ripley character once more, but also stated her reservations about the possibility.
Sigourney told Moviefone: "I would have liked to do one last story where we go back to the planet, where Ripley's history is resolved. But I do feel like her story is unfinished.
"I could definitely kick that alien's ass again. Ripley's a smart hero, it's the way she thinks, but just looking at the way the business is.”
Scott’s Prometheus was initially rumoured to be an Alien prequel, but since commencing production, it has emerged that the film is linked to the franchise but is not a continuation of the story.
