lol wut prequel? Can't have Weaver as Ripley if its a prequel for obvious reasons. Oh... maybe he read Out of Shadows and wants to do an adaptation.
I can see him trying to pull something like an alternative Aliens sequel, guess that's the only way his Alien 3 nightmares will end. But I doubt any of that will happen until Ridley is done with David's gains.
And Avatar is still a thing? Thought that died like 10 years ago.
