I'd like it to be. I was really looking forward to seeing another fan film - especially one of the new age professional fan films.
That said, I don't have a clue what it could be. A new documentary? New game? Something?
Please don't be anything x-rated. What!? In this day and age I don't put anything past anyone.
Or MAYBE its Alien Isolation 2!!!!!! But probably not....
Actually I would love an Alien Isolation game on Fury 161....
I don't think she'd really have anything to do with a game. Should could voice a new character though.
Someone on our Facebook page suggested maybe NECA would be doing a Newt figure.
Just checked the 'Triborn' stuff. Not only are they still publicising their project without change, but are booked in that capacity for a convention panel.
The message seemed awfully celebratory - and I don't think a retrospective documentary would make sense if she's hash-tagging the 'lives' part of #NEWTLIVES.
Same goes for a game. Why would a game want to resurrect Rebecca Jordan? They already have Amanda Ripley as a character to play around with.
It's possible she might be publishing her own book, perhaps? I remember how Solphie Aldred wrote 'Ace!' Which was like a compendium of her time as Ace, the companion, on 'Doctor Who'. Maybe Carrie has a bunch of pictures and such, which are going to be in a similar volume. A kind of insider view of what it was like to be a child actor on that set. She would have access to virtually everyone involved, to conduct her own interviews. And I could see a book like that being titled, 'Newt Lives' - as in, the spirit of those times lives on.
But then... Why not just say she's authoring a book? Would get more publicity if she had done!
It just feels more logical for this to be something to do with the Blomkamp/Scott project. I'd say maybe a cameo, but I could see Blomkamp having that JJ Abrams-like desire to get as many of the original actors in to revise their roles as he could. So... Maybe?
I'm not expecting it to be related to Alien 3.2 because of the "on hold" news. Unless they're trying to dispell all the doom-and-gloom cancellation mis-reporting.
That's the production phase, but it wouldn't stop her being asked if she'd be willing to appear in it.
Or, alternatively, we know she's on good term with Weaver. It might be Sigourney's had a friendly conversation with her and said, "Well, they're bringing Newt back." I could see Carrie thinking that was awesome, regardless of whether or not anyone's asked her to reprise the character.
I'd love a book recounting her experience during the production of Aliens.

It would be damn interesting. I'd be quite happy to read that!
As much as I'd love it to be, it's most probably not a game. Anything but not a game. My bet is a booklet, video documentary or something...
Hopefully it means she is reprising her role as Newt in ablomkamp's film as an adult Rebecca Jorden.
Mostly...
Personally, I'm getting a little tired of these actors who haven't played character roles that they don't own for decades without any support or announcements from Fox themselves.
Taking this with a grain of salt.

The only surprise i want (from her) is a new audio commentary with both her and Weaver,together,on a brand-new 30th anniversary
ALIENS Bluray release-without the previous overly-green transfer-but that's probably asking for too much.
That would be really nice to listen to.

I'd be up for that. Carrie Henn isn't an actor, and hasn't been for some time. She seems like the sweetest person in the world, but you don't give a starring role in a tentpole picture to someone who hasn't stood in front of a camera in thirty years.
Looking forward to whatever it is, though! :)
I really hope this isn't anything related with Blomkamp's poor fan fiction...
I am still not sure I want an alien 3.2. and I am not sure if I want to have Newt and Hicks returning at all. I mean, when I watch Aliens, I always get depressed when I think Hicks and Newt will never wake up again. Despite the fact that Hicks will- since Aliens Colonial Marines is Canon. so I can see Hicks coming back but...
For Alien 3.2 to have Ripley in it, they still have to mess around with Alien 3. And althoug the movie depresses me, I still love it! Alien3 - especially the extended cut- is a great movie with a lot of unique ideas, characters and a distinct style and atmosphere. What I love about Alien as a whole- the movies are distinct in there own way- while still being bad ass and the Aliens always emit there own ultimate way of horror that has never been beaten by anything in the universe.
So- do I want an aliens 2.0- yes, I confess Aliens is my favorite. But I don`t want it to replace Alien 3 and 4. I love Alien Resurrection as well! Its strange humor, crazy perspectives, the grotesque carnage, the grotesque eroticism between Ripley and the Aliens, and Ripley and Call, the pictures in the movie tell there own story. Although there the typical Joss Whedon jokes in it- somehow it all clicks to paint a picture of an out of bounds borderline crazy future which is really different then the 200 years before it.
Also the remnants of Newts memories within Ripley 8, and her sacrifising her daughter (the newborn) yet again, the deep loss, the horror she as a mother had to suffer through time and time again, all make this movie so relatable through its tragic.
So WHY is there no post Alien Resurrection movie??? Call it Alien Resurrection 2!
Hell make Ripley 8 the new Alien Queen! She has Alien genes right??? She could mutate! You could use some great Giger Art style- make a mix of species and alien- and make her rebirth a new breed of aliens! Maybe Ripley Reproductive changed too? So first Call helps Ripley escape from the Military, but when Ripley starts mutating, Call calls for help! So they show up with the frozen post colonial Marines Hicks, and to hell, if they want too they can clone Newt to make the Alien Queen Ripley stagger, and then they KILL her! But then, in the last moment, the engineers show up and take Ripley away. they take her back to there homeplanet. Where she finally reunites with Amanda, who for some reason ends up there during the events of Alien Isolation 2 which I want so bad. So thats the Alien 5 I want.
And in Alien 6 the crew of the Prometheus sequels returns to earth and finds it destroyed by Ripley 8s new breed. Yet they somehow have some engineer technology, and they have there own tamed Alien sub species with them. Also they infect Call with that Ooze which made that android in Fire and Stone mutate. And then an epic grotesque battle for earth begins- which will be the new premise for AvP3.

Nobody in the public domain has any idea what the story will involve, much less can judge whether it's "poor" or not.
It could be possible that she might star in Neil's film. However if she is starring in alien identity, the film could actually be related to Neil's film. This may be one of the first fan films to be considered canon by fox.
She is going to play Newt's Grandmother is Prometheus 2.
How many times do you see musicians who one day decide to become actors. No pre-requisite necessary if you're a musician right? Justin Timberlake, one day a singer next day a movie star. If they can do it Carrie Henn can do it. She also has more experience at playing Newt than anyone else in the world. People you're over-dignifying the art of acting. It's not brain surgery. Actors don't cure anything.
Carrie Henn would draw a huge crowd to see Blomkamp's film because this is a real human story. The story of Newt, particularly in the light of Alien 3, was innocence lost. To ignore Alien 3 and bring back Carrie Henn, is innocence found. She is one of the few stars that did not drag her reputation through the mud. People will love her come back story. Only Alien 3 fanboys will have a problem with it.

Why is it so important that Carrie comes back to play the role?Last time we saw Newt she was a little girl,who would recognise her as an adult?I'd rather they use a trained performer who wouldn't hurt the success of this project.

Right on! You have a heart. Killing her and Hicks off was the dumbest thing that happened to the franchise prior to AVP:R.
Hearing the hashtag #NEWTLIVES reminds me of this fan film that was released a while back, anyone else remember this:
Hmmm...In detective work, they say 90% of the time the most obvious answer is the correct one... :D
It doesn't make any sense to me, that this tweet is in reference to a 'FAN FILM.' Especially considering that cease and desist letter the last Fan-film 'ALIEN: IDENTITY' received when she was supposed to play NEWT in that...
Think about it! If you or I had received that cease and desist letter, wouldn't we take that letter as a giant red-flag for us NOT TO move forward playing this character, in something else Fan-made? I'm sure Carrie Henn would be thinking the same and she wouldn't do so without some sort of direct permission, communicated from FOX.
She would probably be able to say so if she was going to play NEWT for a new fan-film, on Twitter. And anyone making a fan-film like that, would also want to receive a cease and desist letter before taking a huge risk like that, given the issue with the last one, right? So these fan-filmmakers and Carrie Henn would want to know if they simply couldn't do it, before they move into production, risk getting shut down, or sued, after spending all kinds of money on a Fan film - given the circumstances. It really is quite soon to just assume ALIEN 5 isn't happening and Fox no longer cares so that last letter can be ignored....
'Fan-filmmakers' would otherwise want for, and encourage Carrie Henn to shout out on social media, every which way possible to say she was gonna play Newt in their fan-film, in order to generate interest and probably crowd funding.
With all these movies planned, green lighting a new game or series of books/comics NOW seems logical enough, but we havent heard anything about that yet. Considering that we know about all these movies being planned and have heard nothing new about games and books... No. I'd wager, this has something to do with what we already know. Which is: they are making new alien films that plan to continue after Aliens, and Hicks survives, leaving Newt's fate up in the air.
I say Ridley Scott is looking ahead - that's the way that guy thinks - he and Fox do intend to produce A5, and to ultimately tie everything together... Unless there is something more apparent, I deduce that this looks like it confirms she has been contacted about doing ALIEN 5! ... At least, to me anyway!
Carrie tweeted this a few hours ago: "Exciting things regarding #Aliens...that in mind, I'm not in talks for Aliens5, guaranteed excitement for fans of the franchise #Aliens30th"
The most obvious idea seems to be some kind of new DVD/Blu-Ray reissue, but hasn't just about all available material been released now?
Unless the remastering process has been polished up, of course. It was good for the Blu-Ray, but its predecessor still managed to look better.

They did a re-release for Alien and after Giger's death IIRC. Don't think there was anything new on it, just a repackage with some extra goodies.

There I go getting my hopes up again!!
So... I think its easy. I mean Sigourney Weavor said, its going to be very organic. And Blonkamp at some point said, he has no plans scrapping Alien 3 and 4.
He just said it will continue the style of Aliens. So I guess, it will be after 3. Hicks lives as we learned. Thats official. He failed to save Ripley on Fury as we see in the DLC for Colonial Marines which is of yet, canon.
So- they will probably clone Newt and Ripley long before the events of Alien Resurrection. During the lifetime of Hicks. It will be so secret, that it is lost to the future of Alien Resurrection.

Colonial Marines isn't considering canon anymore. At the minute, canon is only Prometheus, Alien, Alien: Out of the Shadows, Alien: Isolation, Aliens, Aliens: River of Pain, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Fire and Stone, Aliens: Sea of Sorrows and Predator: Incursion.

Uh, when was this? Last I heard Fox said it was still canon, is this fan propaganda again?
Not at all. As I've mentioned before, those are the current "canon" titles as I've been told by folk associated with Fox.
Did they make a formal announcement about it? Where can I find a source?
Its not canon? But thats weird. I mean even in the Titan Books there was a small mention of the Colonial Marines incident, if I recall right. I cant pinpoint what it was, but it must have been in Seas of Sorrows...
But i its cool that they took Alien Isolation in. I didn't know about that.
As far as I am aware, Fox's stance is that all EU canon is canon; any changes that were going to be made were put on hold with the announcement of an alternate timeline for Alien 5.
FOX's stance is whatever sounds like a good idea at the time.
That's pretty much the fans' stance too. ;)

The marketing department isn't linked at the hip to the creative departments involved in fashioning the actual films.
I think they'd
like to create some kind of over-arcing continuity, but you have to set out a definitive plan ahead of time to do that, instead of just handing out the licence to various people and letting them come up with whatever.

Yeah, whatever it is, it's something she personally had a reason to feel really happy about. Some old comics getting republished doesn't really feel like it would warrant that reaction from her.
Y'know, every so often, Cameron
does speak about wanting to do what he did with '
Titanic' and remaster '
Aliens' to a 3D format. I thought it was surprisingly well done with '
Titanic', personally. If that's being done, it would mean '
Aliens' is getting re-released in cinemas and that would likely result in new interviews and stuff for the relevant home release, too.

Boy, I would really enjoy that. There's a lot of depth in some of those exterior shots, outside the colony. And imagine that establishing shot of Gateway in 3D...
Fox would love it, too. They could sell us another blu-ray. 8)
Yes, and that would propel demand for a sequel to Aliens.
And the original in 3D.

I'm not big on 3-D either but the films victim-point-of-view head-bite shots would benefit from the extra D.

And the only reason I'd see it is because of how nicely the 3D was handled with
Avatar. It was still a gimmick, but at least it wasn't over-the-top gimmickry. It was just a regular film that happened to be in 3D, there weren't things lunging out of the screen at you every five minutes like in every other 3D movie I've ever seen.
I can't remember Avatar's 3D - I was too busy being underwhelmed by the film itself.
Same here, I've seen all 3 versions of the film, 2 of which were in 3D, and I can safely say that the film's main selling point were the special effects and visuals rather than the story itself which was as you say, underwhelming.
I watched Avatar twice in the theatre and I hate to say but both times, it actually made me nauseous. The motion was off the charts. Never felt so dizzy. I had to close my eyes for a good portion of the film, or I felt like I was going to lose my cookies. It was very strange as I typically have a cast-iron gullet. OT..

Avatar cgi was crap straight up one minute i thought i was watching Halo on x box
As much as I disliked the film, that's a complete exaggeration. :P That opening sequence was gorgeous.
I really liked the film. It was a fun ride in a beautiful place. But I did get sick.
The first film i ever saw in 3-D was Prometheus,the experience didn't add or take anything away from the viewing.I could have saved myself some cash and bought the 2-D ticket instead.IMO 3-D is just a novelty and nothing more.
I liked Avatar. Yes, the story was utterly recycled, but it was told with visual flair, and the effects were pretty spectacular. Stephen Lang's villain was a hoot and easily the best thing about the movie.
I loved Stephen Lang too. It's a shame I haven't seen him in much else. Just that whacky dinosaur show that I could never get into. Terra Nova?
You should check out Public Enemies (he has a fairly small role, but easily the best scene in the entire film, right at the end) and The Hard Way, a great action comedy with James Woods where he plays a wonderful and totally psychotic villain. He's also in Tombstone which is a great film, but given the huge number of characters in it he doesn't really get too much to do sadly.
Did you know he originally auditioned to play Hicks? Doubly ironic then that he was cast as Quaritch in Avatar, because Michael Biehn was originally in the running for that.

Not really I'm afraid. But I've read it in a couple of places, including somewhere on Valaquen's site if I remember rightly. Lang was one of the people who auditioned for Hicks, but he didn't get the part. Then when
Avatar was gearing up Cameron supposedly had Biehn in mind for the villain, but changed his mind when he decided having Weaver, space soldiers
and Michael Biehn all in the same film would invite too many direct comparisons with
Aliens, so Biehn was removed and the part was recast with Lang.
Just chatting to Val, he auditioned for it. That's pretty much the story. lol
That's... Interesting.
Now I'm imagining what both those films would have been like with the acting roles reversed.

It's interesting that not long after teasing that #NEWTLIVES™ stuff, Michael Biehn popped-up from out of nowhere and said Newt will be in Alien 5. Was she referring to Biehn's impending bean spillage all along? Is this some grand conspiracy triangle between Blomkamp, Henn and Biehn in order to get the film back on track? Or is it just totally random shit?
So when is Carrie Henn going to tell us more about #NEWTLIVES? I can't take this waiting.

I hate to rain on your parade but we're not going to last 17 hours!
You better start dealing with it, PO, because we need you and I'm sick of your bulls**t.
I want you to get on the internet bring up some sort of confirmation. I need articles, interviews, a leaked script. Are you listening? Anything that proves this retcon is really happening.
We don't have much... well, we have a lot of time I guess.

Yeah, I know, and I just rewatched the movie 2 days ago. :P Excitement is the best cloud for judgment.

The first film i ever saw in 3-D was Prometheus,the experience didn't add or take anything away from the viewing.I could have saved myself some cash and bought the 2-D ticket instead.IMO 3-D is just a novelty and nothing more.
Not for me. Once I saw 3D, I cant go back, its like watching black and white tv for me now if its 2D
3D hurts my eyes. Its too much work can't enjoy the movie. Its great though but I am happy with 2D.

You're literally the first person I'v ever heard praising 3D in this way.

This. I also wear glasses, and it's a pain in the ass trying to balance the specs over my own.
I used to hate 3D before I learnt I had to wear glasses (for normal seeing). I could never focus on the 3D properly. They do clip-ons at the Odeons so it's not so bad now a days. I don't particularly care for it though. I find it very gimmicky.
The only one I actually really liked was what I saw of Titanic in 3D.
I always watch 3D when I can simply for the reason that I don't have a 3D TV at home so I can only watch it at the theatre whereas I can watch the 2D version anytime I want as long as I have the Blu-Ray/DVD.

I'm that way, too. I don't prefer 3D, but if it's a movie I know I'll be watching at home a million times, I'll see the 3D in the cinema just for the pure novelty of it.
(Doesn't stop me buying the 3D+2D editions of the blu-rays though; I'm currently sitting on 3D Prometheus, Tron Legacy, Titanic, Hobbit 1&2 and Creature from the Black Lagoon. One day I'll actually take the plunge and buy that 3D tv... :D )
