Now Playing Magazine caught up with Paul Anderson and he responds to the recent rumours of him writing a future Alien 5 movie.

“That’s not a reality,” he says. “I’ve heard that. I’ve been doing press lately for AvP and a lot of people said that. I don’t know where that came from. It’s not something I’ve been approached about… You know, when I did AvP, it was very much that I felt like I was making a standalone film that wouldn’t interfere with an Alien 5 or a Predator 3, which are both movies that I would like to see.”

He firmly denies the rumours which means the report on UK Teletext was in fact false.

Sigourney Weaver has done a new interview with IGN FilmForce but it’s nothing we’ve not heard before. She states that there has been talks between her and Ridley Scott but thinks her age is an issue as to whether Fox will make Alien 5.

“Ridley Scott and I have talked about doing one more where we go back to the original planet and see what these creatures came out of. But, I think that it would be probably unlikely that a major studio would go for it, only because one of the lead characters would be a fifty-five-year-old woman. I don’t think the audience would care at all, because I don’t think we’re as ageist as the business is. So I think that we’d be game, but I don’t think that either of us, we’re both so busy, I’m not going to sit down and write the whole script. And I didn’t rush to see Alien Vs. Predator, which looked kind of awful to me, like a video game. But I just hope that the Alien won. The Predator’s such a stupid looking creature.”
