Not to sound greedy but why can't we get two movies here? NB's A3.2 and a true A5 after A:R? I mean why the hell not? Release them both on the same day and let the public decide.
Because Ridley Scott's the director of one and producer of the other. Considering how large both respective projects would be, that's for the best.

Numbers don't add up. Newt would be around 40 years old if Beihn and Weaver are going to be playing their characters at their current age. Unless Newt has been in cryo for a very long time.
Neither him nor Weaver look their actual ages. They can play characters younger than they, themselves, are.

Its still sad to me that Alien 3 looks like its on the outs. But if it happens I want Jennifer Lawrence for the pure giggles to play and adult Newt. Neil Blomkamp presents Alien : Hunger
I've honestly never understood the hype for JL (and the fee she'd command would probably be too much on top of Weaver, if they want to succeed in the sort of set design and effects from the known concept art).
If they want Newt to look like she did in '
Book 2', however, the best likeness would almost certainly be Piper Perabo - who can act very well.
I could see Sarah Michelle Gellar doing it, too, who can also act decently (which would be ironic, considering the Whedon/Newt thing, as mentioned up above). Think that SMG also likes science-fiction, too. Is definitely a fan of '
Star Wars' and has been voicing a new character for the CGI '
Rebels' cartoon.
Although, I'd personally like it if they ultimately cast someone relatively unknown.

All these comments from a man that's not been signed up for the move.
We know he's been talked to about it. It's very likely he'll be officially cast when it does get to that stage.
QuoteThat is, a movie that's already been officially postponed - possibly even cancelled.
No indication it's been cancelled, at all.
QuoteNor has he read any script - because none exist.
One does, according to Ridley Scott. But Biehn isn't claiming he's read a script, just talking about the conversations he's apparently had.
QuoteIn the end, Blomkamp's movie project is running out of time.
According to who? It'll be ready when it's ready, man. No hurry.
