Lol, so false. We all know better than to believe anything on IMDb, come on guys.

"In your conversations with Ridley did you discuss the other Alien films?
He hasn't seen the Alien Vs. Predator films, he likes Cameron's sequel but he admits to feeling a little conflicted that he was passed over in terms of directing the sequel. He's a huge Fincher fan and feels sorry that David was so hamstrung in terms of what he could and could not do in terms of Alien 3 and while he acknowledges that it's a beautiful looking film I think he wishes that Fincher would have been allowed to do what Fincher does on that film. I have a feeling that if Alien 3 had been Fincher's third film instead of his first then it would have been up there in the pantheon of great sci-fi. We didn't talk about Resurrection."
Additionally, Ridley also visited the Alien 3 set and gave Fincher career advice, and his son worked on the film.
