It seems Ripley herself doesn't want to be entirely left out of the Ridley Scott's upcoming "Alien Prequel". While promoting the Blu-Ray release of the Alien Anthology set, she had this to say about any involvement in the prequel:
“Certainly not as an actor but if they needed help with the story, I could probably help them,” Weaver said. “I have a good sense of what people appreciate in the series and what they don’t care about. So I hope they’ll ask me.”
So with rumors in full swing for the Alien reboot, news should keep coming. So do you think Sigourney Weaver should have a chance at writing the prequel?
