Sigourney Weaver recently revealed that those old rumors were true - she had definitely considered making another "Alien" movie with director Ridley Scott.

"The last time [Ridley and I] saw each other we talked about it. The character is still interesting [and] I'd love to work with Ridley again" she told MTV News this week.
Unfortunately something has nixed those plans - "Fox has effectively killed it because of 'Alien vs. Predator.' What else can you do with the creature? You can take the situation, you can go back to where they came from. ...To play someone who ages a couple hundred years was fascinating. [But] let [Ripley] rest."

Crikey it does make you wonder had they never done the Alien verses Predator where would Ridley Scott have gone with the whole alien thing????
Though if I'm being honest I don't really feel that it was the Predator vs Alien films that have really scuppered Weaver or Scott here.....if anything it was Alien 3 that done the most damage by doing a really stupid thing and killing the character off....I also think the Aliens on earth hasn't really been done yet...like a war and I thought that would have been Ridley Scott's bag
What does anyone else think??

I just don't see why these new films have stopped Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver from making a new Alien movie??
