I don't want another Sigourney or Ripley clone. I wish they'd just write a character rather than switching templates around.

I don't think there's a single one of us who would want to see another Sigourney or Ripley character. It'll be really nice if Daniels is her own character and not intended to harken back to Ripley.

I really don't see how Amanda Ripley was a stretch. Her mother goes missing on a WY mission. 15 years later the company notifies Amanda and let's her go to retrieve the flight recorder. Why is that so hard to believe? I suppose the WY legal team's decision making might be in question considering the potential for a lawsuit.

Yeah, I guess she doesn't look like Ripley that much...

Oops, just saw the follow up. I think for general audiences it would work, just not for us fans that gobble up everything related to the franchise.

Good actress. Very good in Inherent Vice.

When it was announced she'd be in it we didn't know that.

Not an actress I've heard of, so I'd be very interested t see how she does

Burn the Floor

I couldn't really care less about this movie at this point

Liberator

Mr. Fassbender was great as Steve Jobs.  That was really interesting.  Ms. Waterston played an ex-girlfriend of his, who claimed she fathered her child.  They had some arguments about financial support, and so on, and it should make for very good chemistry in Alien: Covenant.

Yeah, she's got more of a Mila Kunis thing going on...

What if Ridley ignored Isolation? I don't know how he feels about video games, but he could possibly take the concept of Amanda from AI and inject it into Covenant via this Daniels character.

But I think we may be jumping the gun a bit with this, haha.

He very probably will. There hasn't been any indication he's played anything much in the way of computer games, let alone that one.

For me, 'Isolation' is at odds with canon (both in terms of Amanda's inclusion and the way the Alien can be avoided). It's a nice little 'what if' and very beautifully presented, but I can't find it within me to care about it being discarded from the official continuity. A part of me even hopes it is.

I agree. I actually don't understand the latest trend to fit video games into canon.

Another tough/cute brunette. I think it's safe to say what Ridley's type is, at this stage.

I just think it's nice when franchise filmmakers refrain from trampling all over games if they don't have too, especially if they were well-received additions to the franchise. Don't need to acknowledge them, but similarly you don't need to go out of your way to contradict them.

I would assume she plays a role of a character who doesn't live for all that long in the movie
