I have to say that there are lots of stories in the worlds libraries today. There are lots of new writers, new ideas and new filmmakers. Why are we taking a tried and true, yet tired stoy and rehashing it into a prequel? Hollywood needs to flush out the old and get some new talent in there.

Noomi Rapace doesn\’t speak english very well this is a huge problem. Besides there are plenty of tried and true actresses here already.

They should leave this alone and create something new!

I think Natalie Portman did well in V for Vendetta but am not sure if this film will be a retread of that.

Noomi Rapace has charisma and is over 30 but is practically an unknown in America. Those films have subtitles, you know.

Olivia Wilde – I just don\’t see it. I also think Cowboys and Aliens and Tron: Legacy have to come out before she takes the next step, otherwise she is just another Sam Worthington type with too many tentpoles in development. Or another Gemma Arterton – despite being in Casino Royale, Prince of Persia, Clash of the Titans but she is by no means a name.

Carey Mulligan seems like a 17 year old and a 55 year old at the same time – wouldn\’t be my first choice.

Abbie Cornish – great actress but it doesn\’t seem like a great fit. Depends how she performs in Suckerpunch.

Anne Hathaway could be good in the sense that she is such a random choice that she could perhaps surprise people. The star of Princess Diaries, Bride Wars, Love and other Drugs, The Devil Wears Prada and Valentines day in an action/horror/thriller.

I would also consider Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz or Evan Rachel Wood. There is a wide age gap between them but believability is the most important factor.

PG-13! How the hell does an Alien movie get a PG-13 rating?

Would you please stop fellating Noomi Rapace? No one outside of the tiny film blog circle gives a shit about her, and frankly, thanks to sites like this placing her in every potential female role, I\’m already tired of her despite not seeing her in anything.

Enough already.

Instead of debating which actresses should be suitable for the role; people need to start questioning why there is a need for a prequel. Sigourney Weaver was and always will be Lt. Ellen Ripley. No one can replace her and no one should. Hollywood needs to start focussing on new writers and new ideas instead of going over old ground.

I would love to see Natalie Portman as Ridley Scott. She would do a wonderful job!!!! Anne Hathaway would be very interesting. Gemma Arterton could maybe do but of course that is my opinion

If Fox wants to recoup their budget, going PG-13 would be an absolute disaster. The die-hard fans of the franchise (those who insist it all ended with Cameron\’s Aliens) will be very dubious, weighing Scott\’s director\’s credit against what will in all likelihood be seriously watered down studio product. Again, studios are making the basic mistake of trying to cater to teenage mallrats who know nothing of the franchise over the long-term fans that made it successful in the first place, and it will come back to bite them hard. (Anyway, why go see a PG-13-ified Alien movie in the theaters when you know that an \”unrated\” DVD is coming in a few months and you can just wait till then to see it uncensored?)

Noomi Rapace is awesome!

I\’m surprised Alison Lohman\’s name hasn\’t been mentioned. I know Sir Ridley was fond of her in Matchstick Men, and she held her own in Drag Me to Hell.

Anne Hathaway would be wonderful for this role. She showed her very gritty ,raw, and edgy side in \”Rachel Getting Married\”. And, I hear she shows her bitchy side in Love And Other Drugs.
