It's become impossible to get facts on what's going on with Alien V through the forums.  It's all conjecture...

So once again, this is rumour control.  Here are the facts...

(Please post only facts here.  Comments can go elsewhere.  By facts I mean confirmed quotes by the studio, actors, director, producers etc.  At least this will be close to factual.  Production pictures or relevant photos or videos should go here as well.)

Here is a link to the confirmed news on AVP Galaxy:

Neill Blomkamp Q&A: Director talks Alien reboot and new film Chappie





And there's the video in this thread, which has unfortunately been made private and can no longer be viewed: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=52374.0

Sigourney is on Jonathan Ross tonite.

Someone post that interview here.

[Darkness]

I just watched it but she didn't say much about it.

[Perfect-Organism]

Technically this isn't a fact but it is understood that we will not get the full picture for a while and this is a case of putting together the pieces of a puzzle.  As long as it isn't an opinion post, but a collection of news bits, things like this belong here:

Looks like according to this, Michael Biehn will reprise his role as Hicks.

The media is running with Michael Biehn's quotes from Pensacon...

Oh, ok, thanks Corporal!

BD article about facts:

The key line which is getting lost in all this:

20th Century Fox is behind it, and Blomkamp is officially signed on to develop it. Read that sentence again. This does not guarantee a thing. This does not promise that Blomkamp’s eventual sequel will get greenlit, it also does not guarantee Weaver’s return as Ripley. It sure as hell doesn’t lock in the resurrection of Biehn’s Corporal Hicks. All this means is that he’s being paid to officially develop it.

[Corporal Hicks]

No one is saying it's a sure thing? We certainly haven't reported that.

[Russ]

No understood, but it was good to see an article out side of here that states it.

There's more discussion on Digital Spy as well: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a631526/new-alien-movie-secrets-revealed-sigourney-weaver-michael-biehn-to-return.html?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=dsuk&utm_campaign=twdsuk#~p5N1f5nh48TJLw in which Weaver and NB are talking like it is going to happen.

And, when asked at the end if Rippers and Hicks will be back he says "Hopefully, we'll see them."

[Perfect-Organism]

No one is saying it's a sure thing? We certainly haven't reported that.

I propose that this thread is especially for dropping news links as they are reported.  I would consider those as "fluid facts" which may be subject to change.  This is a good place to paste all of the articles prior to sifting through before they go to the official news section.  The key is to avoid opinions and commentaries in this thread as it will quickly become very lengthy and searching the news posts will be impossible...

[Corporal Hicks]

Probably unnecessary as they'll get new threads as and when they pop up.

[Russ]

True, but I'm with Nightmare on this one - (feel free to delete this comment, saying this). I reckon this thread should be a member conjecture free zone - just the links and a bit of context?
