Sigourney Weaver Talks New ‘Alien’ Film With Jimmy Fallon (Video)

News broke on Wednesday that Neill Blomkamp will be directing a new Alien movie, a project he teased last month with concept art. After fans of the Alien film franchise responded very favorably to the director’s vision, Blomkamp revealed that Fox would make the film with him, but that he was the actual hold-out for it.
Later that night after the news broke that the District 9 director was officially on board for a new Alien movie, Sigourney Weaver appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in an episode that was recorded earlier that day. But, knowing the history of the project, host Jimmy Fallon did bring up the subject of a new Alien movie during the interview with the star, who was promoting her new film, Chappie, which was directed by Blomkamp.
Check out the video here below, where Weaver talks about Chappie, as well as a new Alien movie. Also included is another part of the interview where the actress recounts seeing the Beatles when she was 12 years old.
During the interview, Weaver talks about how she mentioned a new Alien movie to Louis C.K., who then told her how he’d want to be in that film.
Though Weaver is not officially signed on for the fifth Alien film (fifth if you don’t count the AvP movies), the actress did feature heavily in Blomkamp’s aforementioned concept art. The filmmaker, who also wrote and directed 2013′s Elysium, had expressed interest in working with Weaver on the new movie, while the Ghostbusters actress mentioned recently that she’d consider reprising the role of Ripley if “someone as talented as Neill” was behind it. At this point, I think it’s just a matter of getting everything down on paper at Fox, because I can’t imagine the Weaver not returning to the franchise she’s best known for, especially after seeing what Blomkamp has in mind and now also how he works.

During the Tonight Show After Party, Jimmy Fallon mentioned that Sigourney walked around taking pictures of everybody. He showed a couple of them to the studio audience.
Fallon said “There’s Will Ferrell in this photo.” Sigourney said “Will Ferrell — I knew I had met him.” Sigourney said she saw The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl when she was just 12 years old. She told Jimmy Fallon she was surrounded by all of these women who were screaming and cheering. She said that “I and this other girl were so overwhelmed, we were just wandering home. Then, a limo pulled up, and the Beatles were in it.”
She told Jimmy Fallon that she recently got an email from the Hollywood Bowl and they said they thought they had film of her at the Hollywood Bowl, and sent the footage to her. Fallon played the brief clip, and she was, indeed, in it.
