I thought that Ridley Scott claimed that the Xenomorphs in the series was going to be no more as he was more interested in exploring the aspects of the "Engineers" (Despite what Ridley says, I still maintain that the "Pilot" in the original movie wasn't an Engineer - last I checked space suits don't fossilize - In the film & novel - which included unused sections of the script - the Pilot was completely fossilized)

Still, here's hoping that it's better than just Sigourney Weaver wanting to make a quick buck - and has a decent storyline handing the reins to someone young enough to do any future movies.

Different film series, Scot talking about Prometheus and as Prometheus 2 has also been given the go ahead we are now getting two films in the in the Alien cannon, another prequel and this one.

Talking of handing the reins to some one younger, was that not supposed to happen with the Winona Ryder character from Alien Resurrection?.

|You could argue that they attempted that with both of the AvP2 movies as well...

Tend to think this Alien 5 film might just turn out to a be cash in given that what is left of the cast are over or approaching 60 years old.

And where are they going with the film story given that Riply died at the end of Alien 3 and then another 200 years past before the events in Resurrection happened and how does Hicks end up their.

Hicks better not be alive. Resurrection pushed it far enough with Ripley, but Hicks? Why not just bring Newt back too..

I am looking forward to it, and somehow I found myself alone in my entourage to have like prometheus and to be generally excited about the follow up of one if not THE best franchise of all time.
