Will she play Ripley again
I doubt it just because the way the industry is. While I can't speak for them, I think for Fox, once you're sixty, you're not going to be starring in an action movie. I think it's too bad that that's the case. I would have liked to do one last story where we go back to the planet, where Ripley's history is resolved. But I do feel like her story is unfinished.
I love the way the story has evolved, that every few years there's another voyage into that universe with another wonderful young director. And certainly I'm blessed with lots of different wonderful jobs, so I'm not sitting at home ruminating about all of that. If I was really caught up in it, I would find a logical story and try to get them behind it, but she may just be left circling earth.
I could definitely kick that alien's ass again. [Ripley]'s a smart hero, it's the way she thinks, but just looking at the way the business is...
Will she be back in the Avatar Sequels?
I don't think I'm at liberty to talk about that. Obviously it would be great if Grace could continue in some form or another. But I think we're not at a point where we can talk publicly about it.
I'd love to see Ripley comeback! I think it would be fascinating to see her use a futuristic hoveround to escape an alien. Just the thought of setting up a film of that type of magnitude in a old people's home is taking my breath away. Could you imagine all the possibilities? I sure can.
On a serious note, as much as I do love the character that is Ripley, I also have no interest in seeing an old woman swear at aliens. Call me old fashion but there is something off putting when an elderly person cusses as their teeth dangle from their gums.
