They had expressed concerns as to whether it would be a sequel to Aliens or Alien 3, but that it was a good possibility it would discount Alien Resurrection. In the meantime, Freddy vs. Jason had recently been released during all the talk of Alien 5, so Fox decided to greenlight AVP instead, as one treatment they had recieved was much more budget friendly than the massive production that would be the Scott/Cameron Alien 5. Since AVP was released, Ridley has expressed disdain at even coming near the franchise, while Cameron considered the film mildly amusing, but an insult to the fanbase. |
