5 years ago, Sigourney Weaver first spoke about<\/a> a 50-page treatment that Alien producer Walter Hill sent to her following the collapse of Neil Blomkamp\u2019s Alien 5. Not long after, Brandywine and Hill shared the title page<\/a>. And we\u2019ve heard nothing more about this since.<\/p>\n

Until now. Speaking during a panel at New York Comic Con (via Variety<\/a>), Sigourney Weaver described Hill\u2019s treatment as \u201cextraordinary\u201d and revealed that she had actually had a meeting with the-powers-that-be about reprising her role as Ellen Ripley.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalter Hill is a very good friend of mine, and he wrote 50 pages of where Ripley would be now, and they\u2019re quite extraordinary. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to happen, but I have had a meeting with Fox or Disney\u2026I\u2019ve never felt the need [to reprise the role]. I was always like, \u2018Let her rest, let her recover.\u2019 What Walter has written seems so true to me, as very much about the society that would incarcerate someone who has tried to help mankind, but she\u2019s a problem to them, so she\u2019s sort of tucked away. I think it\u2019s a very strong first 50 pages. I\u2019m thinking about working with Walter to see what the rest of the story would be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Though details on Walter Hill\u2019s treatment for Alien 5 remain unknown, Brandywine and Hill described the treatment as a mediation on the Alien franchise and Ellen Ripley.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigourney, as she has from the very beginning, is being too modest about her\u00a0proven\u00a0ability to pull off the idea \u2014 which is to tell a story that scares the pants off your date, kicks the ass of a new Xenomorph, and conducts a meditation on both the universe of the\u00a0Alien\u00a0franchise and the destiny of the character of Lt. Ellen Ripley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

In typical Walter Hill and David Giler fashion, the title page we\u2019ve seen previously features 2 different quotes. One from Edgar Allan Poe regarding dreams, and another from William Tecumseh Sherman that simply states \u201cwar is hell.\u201d As well as a riff on Alien\u2019s iconic tagline, that \u201cin space no one can you dream.\u201d With how much the text on the title page talks about dreams, could that be a hint that Hill\u2019s Alien 5 would have gone down the road that Alien 3 and Resurrection were nothing more than dreams in cryosleep?<\/p>\n
