Sigourney Weaver has admitted that she was less than impressed by the idea of sci-fi crossover movie Alien vs Predator.
The actress, famous for playing Ellen Ripley in 1979’s Alien and its three sequels, recalled that she first heard about the idea of a mash-up film before Alien 3 came out in 1992, “which really depressed me because I was very proud of the [first two Alien] movies”.
She then added: “I’ve nothing against building a movie on a video game but at the time, it was, as Jim Cameron [director of 1986’s Aliens] said, I think publically, ‘Why would you want to do that?’ It’s like making Alien meets the Wolfman.”
