Sigourney Weaver on new Alien film

Leave Ripley Alone

Ok, it may not be as dramatic as last years Youtube sensation, but when asked about a new Alien film Sigourney Weaver said to “let Ripley rest.”

“The last time [Ridley and I] saw each other we talked about it. The character is still interesting. I’d love to work with Ridley again,” Weaver told MTV. “But Fox has effectively killed it because of Alien vs. Predator.”

Honestly, if they still want to do it they’d better be fast. Else it will be Sigourney Weaver fighting Aliens with her walker.

Closer look at Q1 media sales

I Am Legend What The

Videobusiness.com takes a wider look at the DVD and Blu-ray sales we reported on earlier. Being released at the end of the first quarter of this year, ‘I Am Legend’ still managed to take the first place for units sold, followed by ‘Enchanted’.

The sales however, didn’t satisfy Warner Home Video’s Ron Sanders. What else can you want than money? Yes, more money. “We were a little disappointed on the performance of I Am Legend. There was more buying over Easter; still, we are a little behind what we thought,” he said.

An interesting pie chart shows how we actually divided our money last quarter:

WGA letter names 28 Judases

WGA strike Judases

The strike may be over, but the dust hasn’t settled yet. In a letter sent to its members, the WGA (West and East) presidents publicly noted the 28 writers who resigned during the strike earlier this year.

“Yet among the many there were a puny few who chose to do otherwise, who consciously and selfishly decided to place their own narrow interests over the greater good,” Verrone and Winship wrote.

After the harsh words they, of course, went on praising the other members for their dedication and support.

The letter comes two weeks after the news about the WGA’s feud with George Clooney, who didn’t get credited for writing ‘Leatherheads’.
