Sigourney Weaver teases potential Alien return after reading extraordinary' script
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Weaver, 76, shot to fame for her lead role as hero Ellen Ripley in the first four films of the beloved sci-fi horror Alien franchise. She originated the part in Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien and last appeared in 1997's Alien: Resurrection, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Speaking Friday at a New York Comic Con panel, the Oscar-nominated actor revealed that her good friend, producer Walter Hill, has written a 50-page script about where Ripley would be now."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping content free of paywalls. Sigourney Weaver, 76, is seriously considering returning to her role as Ellen Ripley after receiving a 50-page script from producer Walter Hill outlining Ripley's possible present-day storyline. Weaver originated Ripley in Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien and last played the character in 1997's Alien: Resurrection. Weaver described the script pages as extraordinary and said she has met with the current rights holders to discuss the possibility, having previously felt the character should be left to rest.
