Does Sigourney Weaver Really Need The Money?
Just saw the new DirectTV commercial with her Ripley character.

The fact is that, if DirectTV wants to use her likeness to sell satellite TV, she has a legal right to be compensated.

Well, why wouldn't she do it? They probably offered her at least a million dollars,if not more....for what was probably ONE day of work. A million dollars for one day of work. Not too shabby.

I wouldn't say the CGI in the Shatner/Star Trek one did "wonders"; it was really unconvincing and actually pretty creepy-looking.

I've only seen the commercial once. Does anyone have a link to it?
I was really surprised that I had trouble telling the difference between the original and new footage. Especially since it's been 21 years since Aliens! CGI, then?
