Yes! Sigourney Weaver WILL star as Ripley in the new Alien film

[Serendipity 7,821]

ALIEN 5 is finally happening with District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp - and Sigourney Weaver is on board as Ellen Ripley

After months of rumours and speculation, it's the news film fans have been waiting for.

Sigourney Weaver will stride across the screen as Ellen Ripley once more.

South African District 9 and Chappie director Neil Bllomkamp will helm the projected reboot of the classic franchise.

Rumours of this dream pairing started flying last year when the sci-fi specialist director started working with Weaver on the upcoming Chappie.

The legendary actress has often spoken of her desire for a fitting conclusion to the tragically heroic life of her iconic space warrior Ripley - and it seems that she is finally getting her big finish.

“I would love to take Ripley out of sort of orbiting around in space and give a proper finish to what was such an excellent story,” Weaver said during a Sky Movies chat.

“So when someone like Neill Blomkamp said, ‘Well, I’m interested in finishing the story,’ my little ears perked up.

"I think it’s a great series. It deserves a proper ending—I know the fans would love that.”

 

Last year the 65-year-old actress commented that the ending to the last film, 1997's Alien: Resurrection, "feels incomplete to me."

"I wish it didn't, but it does," she added.

"We left it hanging. And there's a way to finish this story that I think would be satisfying to me and the many fans."

 

 

Film fans only recently received confirmation that the much-delayed fifth Alien film was finally in development.

South African director Neill Blomkamp uploaded a message on his instagram confirming his involvement,

"Um... So I think it's officially my next film. #alien"

This ended months of speculation and anguish for fans.

Attention has now turned to the possible plot of the new film - and how it will fit into the established Alien universe.

“I want this film to feel like it is literally the genetic sibling of Aliens, so it’s Alien, Aliens and then this film,” Neill said during the Sky Movies chat. 

 

Fans of the Alien universe will know that Ridley Scott, the director of the original 1979 film, recently revisited the subject with the mind-bending genesis story Prometheus, starring Charlize Theron.

Although the film underperformed at the global box office there are still plans for a sequel.

Industry sources say that the proposed fifth Alien film will take place some years after anything that is planned for the Promotheus sequel.

As for Blomkamp - he is already excited about the potential to ramp up the horror and 'Freudian nightmare" of the storyline.

“That element to me is what is so appealing; to put the audience on the edge of their seat the whole time in a traditional, monster-stalking-you, dark-corridor-way,” he said.

“I love that. And then when you mix in all of the design elements and the life cycle of the alien, it’s a powder keg of creativity for me.”

If Gaga could get in on this I would be so happy omg. Just imagine her as a robot with her long blonde bob again 

She could be in cahoots with the Alien or something and at the climax of the movie when the Alien is chasing down it's last prey, Gaga just stands in the frame as the Alien emerges from the darkness behind her and without looking around her, just points forwards and says "They ran that way" and then the Alien takes off to finish off the Humans omgggg

The Alien films are amazing and Weaver is one of my favourite actors! Her performance in Prayers For Bobby was so good and I highly recommend that film to everyone here.
