(They wanted me to do Ripley and I said, Well you have Ripley killing aliens but also sick people and other marines! And every other word out of my mouth was a curse word. I'm not a nun or anything, but I said, '˜This is not true to the character.' And they also showed me six video games and said it was going to be made by this company. There was one called '˜Rednecks' where they shoot animals. The whole thing was so ridiculous.)Hmm. Maybe Sigourney is referring to Aliens-based games that were being developed years ago? I'm not sure why we'd need Ripley to be involved with either game, anyway.
A few things to note: According to Sega, Weaver isn't talking about them, something that I suspected after noting that neither Obsidian nor Gearbox, makers of the upcoming Sega (Aliens) role-playing game and first-person shooter, appear to have made a game about rednecks.
I contacted Sega, where a spokesperson told me that the publisher had not contacted Weaver about participating in either game. I followed up to ask if Sega wanted Weaver and/or her character Ripley involved in either adventure. Sega p.r. man Denny Chiu replied over e-mail, telling me: (Currently we haven't announced any talent for either Aliens games. You'll just have to wait and see about more details concerning the storylines in the games. (winking emoticon))
