The last thing the Alien franchise needed was another sequel. Or, for that matter, another mandible-crunching clash with a Predator. Still, after 1997’s divisive Alien: Resurrection, rumours of an Alien 5 were more persistent than a Facehugger with a crush. Sigourney Weaver didn’t help matters, repeatedly pledging her allegiance to keeping the franchise alive.
Just last year she spoke to Moviefone about returning one last time to round off Ripley’s story. “I would have liked to do one last story where we go back to the planet, where Ripley’s history is resolved,” she said. Sadly, the likelihood of that happening is looking bleaker by the year. “I doubt [it will happen] just because the way the industry is,” she added. “While I can't speak for them, I think for Fox, once you're 60, you're not going to be starring in an action movie. I think it's too bad that that's the case.” Another reason it’s unlikely to happen? Ridley Scott’s going back to “the planet”, or LV-426, himself, and he’s left Ripley at home…

Just out of interest, do most people tend to track down a review of a major film before going to see it? I'll usually read one if i come across it, but don't generally track down reviews of the big films i'm going to see. If a film gets a bad review (or, i suppose a really positive one), would it have an affect on how you enjoyed the film? If a major film reviewer, such as the mighty Total Film, either raved about or completely dismissed a new blockbuster, would you find yourself almost having to agree with them while watching the film too? i sometimes have watched a film thinking "the review said this was awful, therefore i should also find it awful, but i'm not" or vice-versa with a good review.

I tend to pay attention to just 2 reviews.. Empire and Total Film. Normally I'll just read the last bit (at the bottom with the star rating) and then read the whole thing after I've seen the film. With something like Prometheus the overall rating won't have any affect on whether I see the film not.

'Another reason it’s unlikely to happen? Ridley Scott’s going back to “the planet”, or LV-426, himself, and he’s left Ripley at home…' Ah, but he hasn't. I believe the planetoid in Prometheus to be LV-223, or LV-233. Same system, different rock.
