Sounds like he has been reading too many Alien comics... and thats not a bad thing.
Perhaps this way we could bump Alien 3 and Resurection out of the continuity.
Why does this actually sound... like a good Alien movie? For once? How the hell do these other directors/writers get jobs? They just end up pissing on great franchises, showing no respect for the previous works... all while pushing their (rather lame) "artistic" visions.
Is it so hard to understand that we don't want to see good characters killed off for no reason...
That we don't want to watch a bald Weaver for 2 hours...
That we don't want to see a nasty, gooey man/ape/alien hybrid and some dumb mother complex it has with Ripley...
That we want to see a decent movie worthy of the name?

You just don't get it! Hollywood and good ideas are oxymorons. <_<
