There remains the high possibility that Neill may drop the ball. I love Alien 3 but would still prefer to have a better or different film made as a continuation of Aliens. It's just that the end of the story for the main characters, was too abrupt and forced. But there is no film out there for which the expectations of a sequel are so high as Aliens 5. That makes Neill's job that much harder. Will he succeed? We can only cross our fingers and hope.
