Sigourney Weaver says Ridley can 'invigorate' Alien

Sigourney Weaver believes Ridley Scott will ''invigorate'' the 'Alien' franchise with his new prequel 'Prometheus' and admits she is fascinated to see how the filmmaker explores the extra-terrestrials

Sigourney Weaver believes Ridley Scott can "invigorate" the 'Alien' franchise with his new movie 'Prometheus'.

The actress played heroine Ellen Ripley in the four 'Alien' movies and although she won't be appearing in the prequel she is convinced the director - who helmed the first film in the series - can do something wonderful with the Xenomorph extra-terrestrial character.

She said: "I actually talked to Ridley about this idea and I'm delighted he's doing it. I feel it's in good hands. It's a wonderful franchise and if they can invigorate the creature, it could have another life."

The 61-year-old star is as interested as everyone else to watch the movie, which takes place before 'Alien' and will reveal how the Xenomorph nest which Ripley and her crew discover on an abandoned spacecraft in the first instalment came to be there.Read more
