Sigourney Weaver spoke at the recent New York Comic-Con 2025. She claims to have read a rough draft 50-page screenplay written by Walter Hill (Director). It shows where the character of Ellen Ripley is in a new "Alien" film. Sigourney starred as Ripley in 4 movies (1979-1986-1992-1997). So, there might be a possible return of a beloved character in this Sci-Fi movie series.
The Internet is a buzz over this exciting news.
"Alien" 1979 was directed by Ridley Scott and starred Weaver in her first movie role. The story surrounds a 7-man crew on a space tug named, "Nostromo." They received a signal from a derelict Alien vessel. They find no life forms and travel back to earth. A species face-hugger attaches itself to one crew member. An Alien is born and grows on the Nostromo. Crew members are then killed one by one.
The tagline of the film is, "In space no one can hear you scream."
"Alien" is the first Sci-Fi movie to scare theater audiences. It grabbed $78 million in North America. The world wide gross reached $188 million.
With that success... 20th Century (Fox) Studios would produce 3 more sequels. Each story would surround the character of Ellen Ripley.
"Alien" has spawned two prequels and one sequel in between "Alien" and "Aliens" 1986. Plus, two "Alien vs. Predator" films. "Alien: Earth" premiered on the Internet streaming sites FX & HULU (2025).
I am such a huge fan of Ellen Ripley that I will post movie trailers from 1979 to 1997. Check it out.
