"Speaking to Empire in the new Heroes Issue– on sale now – Weaver revealed that she received a 50-page treatment from Alien franchise producer Walter Hill around a year and a half ago for a different take on a fifth Ripley film, which came about in the aftermath of Blomkamp’s project falling through – though she’s ultimately not sure the future of Alien rests in the revival of that legendary character. “I don’t know,” she said. “Ridley has gone in a different direction. Maybe Ripley has done her bit. She deserves a rest.” 

I don't get it, Walter Hill gave the 50 page treatment to Sigourney Weaver after the release of Alien Covenant? The producers have absolutely no common sense if they still want to resurrect Ripley, after Alien Covenant? What a mess!

"He survived, he’s now in Disneyland in Orlando, and no way am I going back there. How did he end up in Disneyland? I saw him in Disneyland, Jesus Christ!"

By Procreate i mean the Xenomorphs Primal Instinct seems just that SURVIVE and Spread....  yes we have NOT seen the Egg Morph apart from Alien DC and so we cant say if thats a Procreation Method... we ONLY get the Queen, but then its a case of HOW does a Queen come to be?

I think Regardless, we know that Ripley 8's Xenomorph DNA could be Connected to a Queen as they Successfully removed a Queen from her....

So the Potential is that they could EXPLORE her Procreating, could at a Certain Age/Time after her Creation, could she enter a Phase where she is ready to Procreate?

Not saying she needs a MATE! maybe she could begin to become Pregnant with a Hybrid and give Birth to One.. again maybe this is something that SOMEONE then takes away to Experiment on... or this HYBRID escapes and Grows and a NEW HORROR then begins.

So there is a Number of ways to Continue with the Ripley 8 Arc.

I think you cant really CHANGE things too much though as FAR as any MONSTERS... because i think some Fans may not be 100% Happy.

There is a Wealth of Concepts from the Franchise, that were NOT used, Never-mind ideas by Concept Artist and then Fan-Art that give us Variations of Organisms that are Connected to the Xenomorph and so you dont have to have VANILLA-MORPH as i would call it.

I do HOWEVER.. expect that its more likely we would get a Blomkamp Alien 5 or indeed this Walter Hill Alien 5 that appears it could be similar and INDEED they will stick to something more Vanilla and out MONSTER would be more closer to ALIENS Xenomorphs than say the Alien Resurrection Types.

I wonder if Walter Hill Alien V  /Brandywine can float ideas and images like Blomkamp did? Are they already under contract?

They should generate some interest in their pitch...get the fans jumping on Disney to get the ball rolling!

You could have Ripley 8 give rise to something like the Image Above... that Body with One of those Heads/Faces or maybe Incorporate Elements of Each Face onto that Body.  Maybe give it a Tail?

Does she Give Birth to something Similar or that after Birth would Evolve to this?

Is this something thats Obtained from someone doing Experiments with her DNA?

Maybe this MONSTER can be shown to Egg Morph a Host... does this Egg Produce a Smaller Version of its Mother? or does it Produce a Face Hugger Type Organism?

Does a Hosts Body start to Form into a Mass and from its Belly or Back we see a Egg like Object Grow?

so you can CHANGE things... Deviate a little from Vanilla ;)

some Fans may have been Disappointed in Prometheus for NOT giving us anything like the Xenomorph apart from the Deacon, and i would think that its NOT a High % that was UPSET because we never saw Vanilla Xenomorphs... but that all we got was the Deacon that we never saw go on to do anything.... if say a Neomorph like Organism had Exploded from Milburns Body then that would have Pleased the Fans i would think.

With Prometheus i think WHILE they may have wanted to STEER AWAY from ALIEN,  i would ASSUMED it was Highly Likely that a Prometheus 2 would have at some-point introduced us to more MONSTERS... that we could trace a connection to the Xenomorph with, like we could with the Deacon and Neomorph.

But sometimes some people do-not like Change.. well not to Change things too much, and to STICK with what they are Familar with and Comfortable with.

And i think thats maybe what Hill/Giler are thinking by what seems likely to be a Draft that has Evolved from Blomkamps... with some of the Blomkamp Concept and Red-Harvest it did SEEM they was going to offer us some Different Variants of Xenomorph and Mutations, which i think would be interesting.

IF this Draft get the GREEN LIGHT by Disney which i think is MUCH MORE likely than a Prequel would.. and Especially if Miss Weaver says COUNT ME IN...

I think Disney would likely want to STICK with the Vanilla Variety of Xenomorph as seen in Alien/Aliens and AVP/AVPR by that the Differences between them Aesthetically are about as much Variation that we would see.

So  Brandywine purchased Red-Harvest script/concept/draft from Blomkamp?  Or is any idea always property of Disney?

I am not sure what the Process would be....

Like i am sure Blomkamp wrote his Draft/Idea and got some Concepts done without it being Officially Endorsed... but again i dont know what the Process of Legality of such things are.

So what i am saying is i am NOT sure you have to gain Permission from who owns the Franchise to go and make a Draft/Idea and Concept to Pitch....

But you would have to GET the Permission to then go and Produce them... say if they chose to make it as a Graphic Novel to be released then in that case... Disney would have to give them the License to do so.

Again i am not certain on that though, maybe someone else knows the INS/OUTS of such things.
