Alien 5? ...and Alien 6 as well?? Fun rumors!
This comes from the Zap2It movie site:
Time to visit the razor and shave the head again, Sigourney, as the plotlines to "Alien 5 and 6" have now surfaced.
The ultra-successful "Alien" series will have the shaven Sigourney Weaver slotted to play Ripley as she fights off the seemingly indestructible beast. Weaver has previously said she'd be interested in reprising her role, which she has done four times since the original 1979 blockbuster.
---
Number five is set on Earth, with the planet under attack from alien warrior drop ships, which made their debut in the original "Alien" movie. In the process they make Earth look like an incubator while attacking, leaving alien eggs around the humans.
---
Number six takes place on the home turf of the navigator of the ship. Aliens are taking over other plants and Ripley finds herself forced to turn to the dark side in order to save civilization. |
So if they have these plotlines...who wrote the treatments? I need more information!!! |

I like the Cameron/Scott concept of a prequel to the first Alien better.
The treatment Scott quoted from sounds like the same old, tired Ripley storyline.

Why can't people understand that the "derelict spacecraft" was NOT the aliens? Do people NOT see the "Space Jockey?" |

Yeah, I've never understood the confusion either.
The "alien on earth" plot has been around for ages. I thought that was what #4 was supposed to be about. I'd be much more interested in "Aliens vs. Predator."
| The ultra-successful "Alien" series... |
Checking the box office of the past two films, I'm not sure the superlative "ultra" is applicable.

Like others have said, there IS NO alien dropship. The "alien" race are a race of parasites. No real technology of their own at all.
In fact, after reading the excellent Alien vs. Predator books, you really get a great understanding of both races.
The "alien" race has no technological understanding. They're just vicious as all hell, and resilient to many extremes. The "Predators", or "Yaut'ja", use the aliens for their hunting packs. The goal is a queen skull. Young Yaut'ja warriors get "blooded", if it's their 1st hunting party, by a older pack leader.
It's all pretty cool stuff...if you like either or both story lines.

There have been rumors about these movies for a long time I just wish they would come to fruition.
I ve heard rumors that Cameron may produce and write but not direct. Ive even heard that Ridley scott may be involved.
I think its a great idea IF they do it right.
Id start first by getting Hicks and Newt back. They never should have killed them.

The problem is that people assume the Space Jockey, or his species, were using the aliens as weapons like the Company had plans to do. It's a logical assumption, though incorrect...

I was salivating at the the idea of Scott/Cameron team up for an Alien movie, is that still just a rumor or is it looking like it might happen? I think a prequel would be cool, other than that I don't know.

Blah, blah, blah. [Ho-hum!] Translation: The producers have nothing new to offer.

Not necessarily true. It's been hinted that the aliens have a humanlike intelligence from the beginning. The best examples of this, to my recollection are:
[a] In Aliens, the power is turned off in the compound the Marines are holed-up in. To the claim, "They've cut the power!"
Hudson responds: "How could they cut the power?!? They're animals!!!" (Well, maybe not.)
[b] In Alien: Resurrection, the captured aliens kill one of their own and let its acidic blood burn an escape hole into their prison chamber floor. And, in an act that seems to belie your claim, they lure one of the soldiers (or marines) into the chamber and use on him the very same liquid nitrogen (by button-push action!!!) that the mad scientists had used to keep them under control. All with a toothy grin.
