I heard about this new Aliens DirectTV advertisement that they’ve been showing in the US. I haven’t heard much about it but somebody uploaded it to Myspace. It starts off with Ripley fighting with the Queen and then she looks into camera and advertises this DirectTV. Check it out.
It looks pretty good to me. To say, Aliens was made 20 years ago, Sigourney Weaver looks pretty much the same in that clip. Makes me wonder if they could still pull off a decent Alien 5 movie with her in it now. Thanks to Xenomorphine for the news.

Sigourney is Ripley. First time since AR. ;D
oh my gosh how did they do that??? ??? she looks exacly like she did all those years ago if they use segourney present day.
Lighting and makeup. I saw another pic of her where her face sags a bit and she looks much older. Agree though that she could still return to play Ripley.
That does it, she as to do an ALIEN 5 now, if only somebody as a script and stuff :o
I was amazed when I saw this commercial on TV.. I flipped!
whilst none alien predator fans are thinking Direct TV, were thinking ALIEN 5 ;D
:o
Our VFX company LOLA did that work, as well as many of the other DTV ads.
Colin, maybe you can try and get this ad in the AVP 2 DVD since your company help make it :D
The Star Trek one with William Shatner is great too 8)
Hmm, Colin worked on this commercial with Sigourney in a way, so maybe he got her for AVP 2? ??? ;D
she doesn't look too old.
She should do another Alien movie rather then selling out for a TV ad.
Hurrah, I'm useful! And I find it interesting that the two directors' company was involved in doing this. :)
now that really would be a "big surprise" maybe all of this is a smokescreen and sigourney weaver is starring in AvP2 and she kicks the silly looking predators ass in 2 seconds. f**k YEA.
I remember seeing this the first time, they did a good job. I was jumping in my chair as the alien attacked. They should make one of Arnold and the predator next.
haha, Direct TV rules.
Sorry, but there is no bigger evil plan here. We were already doing other DTV spots before this spot was ever even talked about.
LOLA also worked on X-Men 3, right? To make Magneto and Xavier look 30 years younger in the flashback scene.
Wow, great stuff Colin, damn good.
Hey, with X-Men 3's LOLA effects to rejuvenate Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, anything is possible now... Trouble is that it takes an awful longtime to do that... Imagine an entire movie with them having to 'rejuvenate' Sigourney... :o ;)
heheh, i was just kidding around, i am a fan of the avp idea . its such a good idea in terms of what it adds to the predator mythos, although i think it does cheapen the alien in some respects (only when you think in terms of the first alien movie) but still psyched. I dont think anyone would want to see siggy in in an avp picture....
ha ha loves it! ripley rules. i doubt sig will ever do alien 5 but i still love the woman. also colin - quick question... merchandise? will there be any? if so by who? tho im sure its too early to release info etc im just v impatient. love palisades AVP merchandise but the SPAWN/MCFARLANE AVP merchandise messed up the aliens head size... im fussy im afraid!
Can you seriously imagine Fox not doing any merchandise from this? They were doing plus facehuggers and Predalien bursters, for crying out loud, the last time. Of course they will. :)
I caught both the full and abreviated versions a few days ago and it absolutely blew my mind! The make-up, lighting and editing was so damn well executed. Of course, Sigourney kicks ass regardless. lol The Shatner/Kirk version was pretty damn awesome too.
"Sorry, but there is no bigger evil plan here."-Colin Or is there? Muwahahahaaa :o
;D ;D ;D
SIGGIES BEST PERFORMANCE TO DATE! ;D
she prob got more for that add, than she did in Alien. :P
Yeah seriosly. I wonder how much these people got paid to do these commercials.
I heard an average budget for a commercial is about£ / £ 10,000
:o :o
>:( please dont let this be aired i love the original 'get away from her u bitch' scene they have killed aliens bye bye alien5 oh cant wait 4 avp2 hope its not shit like the last 1 alien rocks ;D
in mi opinion i think this may be a sneak peak at the queen that they may use in AVP2. Just think about, without really telling us exactly what tpye or if there is going to be a queen, this ad could kind've give you ideas as to what you should espect. Because also as you can tell, thats not the same queen from avp it looks a little modified.
YOUR RIGHT!!!! I think youre on to something...
ah hah c lol itz a good possibility but dont give your hopes up
