Sigourney Weaver Says Blomkamp’s ‘Alien’ Could Still Happen #SDCC
A panel held in honor of the 30th anniversary of James Cameron’s Aliens has been held at the San Diego Comic Con and featured a large part of the cast as well as Cameron himself and producer Gale Anne Hurd. It was an opportunity for all of them to speak about the film and its legacy as well as a chance for fans of the film to ask the stars their burning questions.
One question directed to Sigourney Weaver, aka “Ellen Ripley”, was regarding the status of Neill Blomkamp’s Alien film, which she explained might still be in the works after everyone has finished the projects they’re currently attached to. However, she gave no certainties.
Speaking on the script of Blomkamp’s film, she called it incredible and said that it will give, “…the fans everything they’re looking for.”
On a side note, Cameron spoke about the relationship between Hicks and Ripley, saying that he thought the two might’ve had some kind of future, “…if Fincher hadn’t killed him off.” Perhaps we’ll see that relationship materialize if Blomkamp’s film ever happens?

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
