It would appear that Sigourney Weaver isn’t expecting to appear in the long gestating Ghostbusters 3, as when asked by SciFiSqaud (also TVSquad) what she expected her relationship with Peter Venkman to be in the new film, she answered, “Probably non-existent”, adding that “I think they’re trying to create something new completely with the Ghostbusters, although I know Bill is in it… No, I don’t expect to have anything to do with it, although I wish them well.”
She also added that she doesn’t expect to have to do anything with the announced Alien Prequel. She says, “I don’t think that Ripley could appear in an Alien prequel because she doesn’t have any access to the creature until the first Alien.” However Weaver did seem relieved that Ridley Scott would be involved in the movie, adding “I wasn’t thrilled with the whole Alien Vs. Predator thing… I think it just seemed so economically motivated somehow. I feel we did four good movies, and I’m content with that. I hope if they do something new, they will encompass the idea of where the alien first came from, because I think that’s an interesting idea — to find out what happened and ‘how did it get to us?'”
She’s right about the Alien prequel, as it would be kind of silly to have her in it, but let’s hope she’s wrong about Ghostbusters 3. CLICK HERE to read more of the interview at SciFiSquad.
