The “Alien” franchise has had a headache-inducing history. Though dozens of scripts were developed over the years, many were completely tossed out, and several films featured last-minute scenes being rewritten on the set during filming.

Veteran actress Sigourney Weaver has made a name for herself playing strong and determined characters going back to the original “Alien” film from 1979, where she essentially played a modified version of the “final girl” in Ridley Scott’s artsy sci-fi take on the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” However, her ambitions to get behind the camera as a director seemingly were dashed by “incredible sexism” in Hollywood that she experienced first-hand as an actress trying to lead rather large studio films over multiple decades.  While speaking with The New York Times to promote her upcoming film “Call Jane,” Weaver explains why she never pursued directing as a profession.

Sigourney Weaver says she can't wait for the world to finally see what's been in the works in the 13 years since the first hit theaters.Weaver walked the red carpet at the 2022 Elle Women in Hollywood gala at the Getty Center in Los Angeles on Monday, and she spoke with ET's Deidre Behar about the hotly anticipated sequel, «It's a hell of a movie,» Weaver said, in awe. «It is an amazing story.

in 2009, James Cameron’s epic sci-fi franchise about a humanoid species called the Na'vi is finally back with the first of several sequels. After a 13-year gap, the saga will pick up with in December before continuing on with what are currently being dubbed, and in 2024, 2026 and 2028, respectively. Stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and others look back on the original while teasing what’s to come as picks up on their story over a decade later.“It’s been about 10 years,” Weaver tells ET of the time she’s committed to the franchise since starring in the first one.

Longtime “Alien” franchise screenwriter and producer Walter Hill (“48 Hours“) has revealed that Disney isn’t too keen on his “Alien 5” spec script — or in bringing back Sigourney Weaver‘s iconic hero Ellen Ripley for a legacy sequel. The “Alien” franchise is in an interesting place at the moment.

When Sigourney Weaver appeared on the cast list for James Cameron’s upcoming “Avatar: The Way Of Water,” fans of the mega-franchise had some serious questions. Namely, who is she playing in the sequel? For those who don’t remember (and it’s okay if you don’t, because “Avatar” came out in 2009, and no one except for franchise uber-fans have watched it since), Weaver played Dr.

We casually throw the word “icon” around with such abandon these days that it almost feels like we need a new, more potent idiom to describe those who actually fit the bill. But until we get that term, let’s say that Sigourney Weaver is an absolute icon and leave it at that — a brilliant actor equally adept at drama, action, and comedy, a three-time Academy Award nominee (two of them in the same year), the kind of screen presence who lifts just about anything she’s in.

We haven’t even had the world premiere of his latest film, “The Card Counter,” but it appears that Paul Schrader is ready to move onto his newest project, titled “Master Gardener.” According to Deadline, Paul Schrader is putting together the cast for his new film, “Master Gardener,” and has enlisted talented folks such as Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver to appear.

Well, while the entire world still deals with the global pandemic, IFC Films is preparing the long-awaited release of Philippe Falardeau’s new feature.

It’s been a good few years for Margaret Qualley. Breaking out in “The Leftovers,” she’s since caught the eye of Spike Jonze (“Kenzo World“), Quentin Tarantino (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood“), Netflix (“IO” opposite Anthony Mackie), FX (“Fosse/Verdon“), Tim Sutton (“Donnybrook“), Claire Denis (the not-yet-shot, “The Stars At Noon“) and has amassed a nice little career for herself that has come close to peaking yet.
