Sigourney Weaver sat down with SciFi Squad and answered questions about the Alien prequel, Ghostbusters 3, and being named the #2 movie badass of all time (well, Ellen Ripley anyway). While it’s sad to hear she doesn’t plan to be in either movie, she definitely has the right take on the AvP franchise…
Do you have any interest in being part of the planned Alien prequel movie, or appearing in the franchise ever again?
Well, I don’t think that Ripley could appear in an Alien prequel because she doesn’t have any access to the creature until the first Alien. But Ridley (Scott) is producing it and that makes me happy. I wasn’t thrilled with the whole Alien Vs. Predator thing. I never saw them, but one of the reasons I died in (Alien) 3 was to not have anything to do with those (laughs). Just because, you know, I think it just seemed so economically motivated somehow.
And asked about the Dana & Venkman relationship’s status in the new film: “Probably non-existent.” Too bad.
