He's apparently recently spoken about it and took ownership of it. I've not seen the interview yet. Matt Hatton mentioned it in our last podcast.
He apologized profusely. Haha.

Because Joss Whedon only makes one kind of film and it's exactly what we'd get again if he got another chance.
I tend to agree. His stuff is too scy-fy channel. Its also kinda light-hearted for Alien, but I think if the script for A:R had been in the hands of someone like Fincher or Scott, who is less interested in comic relief, they would have shaped it into a less ridiculous film.
Have we ever seen his script for Alien 5? I'd heard something existed. Maybe a treatment? Also that Firefly movie always seemed somewhat like it derived from some ideas in A:R.
There was a A:R sequel book that I never read. Anyone know if that had something to do with his script?

I don't think it's cryo, it's more like hibernation. It would slow down the body's processes, but not stop them.
No problem mate, just throw in that line of dialogue where some colonist wakes up and gargles back some vomit, saying "Gee this gas-based hypersleep sure makes me feel alot less sick than that injection based cryo-crap. And there's the whole not ageing thing now."
