1240.0. "Alien 4" by BIS1::BHP662::SPINETTE (Hello Phil...) Wed Aug 17 1994 10:04

During the last Festival of Science-Fiction & Fantasy films in Brussels 
(March 1994), I heared some rumours about a possible Alien 4 (certainly 
without Sigourney Weaver)
Is there already anything on the subject ?

1240.1I hope so.REPAIR::TRIMMINGSThe Demon Hill is No.1Wed Aug 17 1994 11:246
    There may be something in the Movies notesfile.This is a subject that I
    have heard a lot of rumours about.I believe from a friend of mine that
    there is a screenplay/script being considered at the moment.

1240.2It will return...be very afraid..PEKING::TRIMMINGSTMon Mar 20 1995 08:347
    It seems highly likely that 4 will be made,according to Sigorny
    (sp)Weaver on BBC Radio today,they will bring back Ripley,using lasers
    or something (her words),and she is bought back to do things against
    her will...

1240.32 possible stories... But Sigourney will no more playHERON::TIG23::ROUBIONEmmanuel RoubionTue Aug 22 1995 12:2324
  I've heard two distinct rumors about the 4:

1) The Company had some Sigourney's ADN, and it makes a Sigourney clone. And
all restart... (oh no !)

2) Another version is the Company has found out the first alien planet (of 
the first movie, where the alien ship is crashed), and they bring back on 
earth some aliens to study them. But they lost their control (of course) and 
the Earth is going to be destroyed... Unless...

  But Sigourney said she will no more play in possible Alien, so...

  By the way, there is a lot a possibility to make the IV: the first planet
(mentionned above) had the crash ship with a lot of alien cocoon (and the 
planet has been destroyed in Alien II), but the ship itself is from a ET 
race, and nobody knows this race... 
  I'd like the scneario give more precisions about this superior ET race. It
can be very interesting... (maybe this ET race will save the Earth in the 2nd 
rumor ?)

    re .3                       
    
    If they clone from her DNA, who is going to play the r�le? A lookalike
    actress wouldn't really be good enough since the clone should be very
    similar if not identical in appearance I would think. Still that's
    never stopped Hollywood in the past.
    
    Personally I have had my fill of the Alien concept so wouldn't see #4
    if they made it. If we keep going to see them, they'll keep making them
    and we get less fresh ideas, so I'm voting with my feet (or is it my
    bum?).
1240.5Another rumorHERON::TIG23::ROUBIONHuh?!?Fri Aug 25 1995 08:017
  In the Movies notes (#145) you'll get more infos.
  It seems Sigourney plays again...

  Another possibility for the IV:
Ripley dreamed !! And Alien 3 is never happened... What a pity...
