Ripley may return

Sigourney Weaver apparently isn’t finished fighting aliens. The original star of the Alien film franchise says she’s hopeful about reprising her role as toughas-nails survivor Ellen Ripley in another sequel. Weaver told the Comic-con crowd in San Diego during a panel celebrating the 30th anniversary of the sci-fi sequel Aliens that District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp pitched her an idea for another instalment when they were working together on his 2015 film Chappie.
