That being said, yes, I think she would probably be a good pick but that I'd prefer some new stories in that universe instead of rebooting finished ones.

I watched Ace Ventura: Pet detective over the weekend. When I read the thread title, all I could think about was some variant on:
'Finkel is Einhorn!'

Building a prequal about the character could not include aliens, which would miss most of the point of the franchise, unless she appeared in a cameo in another characters story.

Now I do believe there is ample room for non-aliens storylines in the aliens franchise universe, because the visualisation is great, but that isnt how Hollywood works.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6895945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6895945.page GMT Re:Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6895985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6895985.page GMT Re:Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion
Summer Glau doesn't look anything like Sigourney Weaver. Well she does in the sense that she's a skinny woman with wavey brown hair. She's not even that tall is she?

No more reboots please ffs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6896370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6896370.page GMT Re:Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion

Isn't the new Aliens game based on Ripley's daughter? If it is then Glau could work as her daughter!? Just because she was dead when Ripley got back to Earth, there is no saying that her daughter didn't have her own adventures


Yes, in the new game it is, and I think that's also a big problem for several reasons - "it's a dumb idea" being chief, "it gaks all over the continuity" being a close second.

I think the Alien universe is a great universe and well suited for a survival horror game, and, despite how utterly awful A:CM was, I'm still a little excited, but the whole "Ripley's Daughter" idea makes me wonder what other dumb ideas they are shoehorning into this.

I do like Summer Glau a great deal, though.

It’ll be interesting to see what the games makers come up with, but it I’m scpectical.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899532.page GMT Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion

Ok, so I was watching Arrow the other night and whilst Summer's character was in the middle of a fight it suddenly dawned on me that she could easily play a young Ripley or daughter of Ripley (looking like a young Sigourney Weaver). Anybody else see the resemblance?


No she wouldnt... Glau is way to cute looking to be taken serious.

Winona Ryder as Call, would have been a more belivable replacment, shame that the Movie was way way into the future and the Movie was horrible.

Daughter of Ripley, now thats really scraping the bottom side of the barrel of contrivance, if post alien3 we are far into the sucky future of the Alien franchise with Hybrid Queipley and pre Alien3 she whouldnt have time to start up Another family, ignoring the trauma of everyone she knows being dead.. Why not Cyborg Zombie Newt, Michel Beihn could reprise his role as Robotic Kyle Reese.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899651.page GMT Re:Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6899757.page GMT Summer Glau is Ripley... suggestion

The thing is we know how "tricksey" Wayland can be so no real reason why a story couldn't involve Ripley's daughter. She grows up wondering what happened to her mum and Weyland have been keeping an eye on her.


Yes, until she died, without ever meeting a xenomorph. Canonically, if she encountered one, WT would have already known what Xenomorphs were prior to the events if Aliens. See how this is super problematic both in the upcoming game and in any hypothetical expansion?

They are great characters even if the movies have rarely done them justice, time to move on and do something new in that universe. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6901237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598545/6901237.page GMT
