Screw Ripley, how old is Jones?

I'm starting to believe that Jones is the male avatar and incarnation of Bastet. That would explain the Egyptian design of the Weyland brand's crests. Jones probably met up with Engineers over 2000 years ago and probably made a sweet deal with them. I think in the next Alien movie, David will find out that the universe is ruled by an interstellar omnipotent cat deity, the true creator of the Xenomorph.

LOL, this would explain so much.

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."

It's more like people reading stuff that isn't there in his comments who have lost their minds.

Scott said:

QuoteI don't think it'll... but Ripley's going to be somebody's daughter. Obviously. We're coming in from the back end. The time constraints, of what's the time between this film, where we leave David going off heading for that colony, I think you're probably two films out from even considering her.

He didn't say anything. You 2 are fighting for a nothing comment?.

It's in Prometheus.

So he's said Ripley is someone's daughter - no shit Sherlock.

That's just fact and referencing the timeline. Doesn't mean her mother's going to appear. There's literally nothing to read into those comments as they stand. If at some stage the plan is to make some allusions to Thedus and the Nostromo a de-aged Ripley might make a cameo but it's hardly likely to be anything more than a nod as the films link up, if it even gets that far.

I'm more interested in David and the 'war of the worlds'. `Frankly I think Scott is only humouring journos who can't look at Alien without wanting to bring up Ripley.

Of course it doesn't mean that but then again why would Scott mentioned about that?

Why would they de-age Sigourney Weaver when they can create a cgi double instead like in Rogue One?
