WAIT - Doesn't Sigourney want back in?

[A_Sexual_Tyrannosaurus]

Where is she going to be in all this? Doesn't she want back in? Why can't they do something after Alien: Resurrection? Weaver wanted to re-team with Scott, but he's involved and she's not, that's not fair.

We have no idea whether or not she'll be involved behind the scenes.

I'll say it now - if there's no Sigourney then it's not Alien. That's how I see it anyway.

It doesn't need her and Ripley's story has been concluded. I'm one of those who wouldn't mind 'Alien 3' being turned into a dream, but you'll find the fandom mostly split on that.

I'm with you on the whole "Alien 3 and 4 were just dreams" but besides, yes I agree that a good Alien film CAN be made without Ripley...

Dream on people, (excuse the pun) Alien 3 is a reality and it's the most atmospheric and beautiful picture of the trilogy. It's look and tone are incredible, the acting is top notch and it's a respectable end to Ripley's story.

Last I checked your OPINION =/= FACT,  besides the vast majority of critics and popular opinion disagree with you

No, popular opinion disagrees with you.

What are we talking about again...? Oh, yeh. Like I said before, not necessary.

...there was a reason for this post, but I forgot so I just repeated myself. Cool? Cool.

Some good views here, I'm a fan of Alien 3 and not of Ressurection. But even if there was a possibility of Ripley being wrote in she's just looking too old... And I don't want it ending up like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Which is a shame because I think Signorey really cares about the franchise. The CGI affects mentioned by a previous poster that make actors look younger would be, for me, unrealistic to use it throughout a whole film.

And just "some"? Give the filmmakers some credit! Chest-bursting a woman's just a perversion of a natural process - That's why Kane was a guy. Guy gets raped, guy gives hideous birth? That hits the grey matter more.

Yeah, that was apparently the intention, but much like Ash's blood meaning to be like semen and the incredibly bizarre murder attempt by trying to stuff a pornography magazine down Ripley's throat, a lot of the audience won't necessarily perceive the subtext in the way it's intended.

Like, it's there, but you have to inform a lot of people, before they even notice it.

As it is with most subtexts and themes in films.
