How about nobody! How about don't even bother making it, and come up with something new.
There's no need for an Alien 5. It would be pointless.
The last thing Alien needs is a thousand pans and another thousand slo-mo shots, probably of teary-eyed faces.

As if Brian Robbins wouldnt direct it:
Here's a sneak preview of a pivotal scene from the new film,
Alien 5: Good Alien.
Dr Gediman (Brad Douriff's character from Resurrection) talking to the Queen Alien with Newt in his grasp: "Welcome to Good Alien , home of the Good Alien, can I take your order, huh?"
Ripley moves in...
Queen Alien and Dr Gediman quickly turn around as they hear the footsteps.
Ripley to the Queen Alien: I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. 'Cause we're all dudes, and by the way, let you of her you bi!*h, hey!!
...and you know what? Its been a really long time since we had a GOOD ALIEN Film!!

I think he has potential to bring back some of the intensity reminiscent of the first couple of Alien films.
The only thing I don't want for an Alien 5 movie is the introduction of "new, and improved" Aliens ala Tremors. If an alien impregnates a bird and begins to fly, I'm outta there.

Weaver on what the future holds for Ripley and the Alien franchise:
I feel after going to a couple of these Comic Cons and meeting so many fans who are so passionate about the series, passionate about Ripley — that there’s more story to tell; but I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think Alien belongs on Earth popping out of a haystack, which is where I was afraid it was going to go. I feel it should take place in the far reaches of the universe where no one in their right mind would go. There are very few filmmakers that I can think of that I would want to entrust this to. But I can think of a couple… I feel there’s a longing in certain groups of fans when I meet them for the story to be finished because we really left it up in the air and I feel a bit badly about that because I was part of that decision making process. I didn’t want to make four and five in a bundle. I think it’s hard to make these films all in a big lump. You need time to sort of let things resonate so I can imagine a situation where we could at least finish telling her story. I think that would be very satisfying at least to me — although I haven’t done anything about it; but I can understand why that could happen and I certainly know young filmmakers who are interested in doing that. So we’ll just have to see what happens.

Surprised she didn't mention Prometheus carrying the Alien torch right now. With her serving notice that she's open to another Alien movie I would imagine old scripts are being dusted off and revised. I wonder if another Alien movie could co-exist with Prometheus 2 and, possibly, 3?

I think it's possible. Get a slick director like Duncan Jones or Rian Johnson in there and it could be great.

There should be a new Alien with Weaver and Michael Biehn as Hicks and Carrie Henn as Newt so we can pretend Alien 3 and Alien Whateveritiscalled don't exist.

As long as the alien is on earth and popping out of a haystack I am down with another one.

It'll be a touching scene when the haystack sacrifices itself in a firey pit just as the alien pops out with a bunch of sweaty bald guys looking on...and Lance Henrickson is there again for some reason.

Wow. She really hates the idea of the aliens making it to Earth. Even as a fan of the character and series I don't need Sigourney Weaver to "finish the story."
The Aliens comics from Dark Horse that came out way-back-when are about as good a sequel to the James Cameron's film as we're going to get.

I'd rather see something play out with Prometheus. They could write in anything with the Aliens. Xenomorphs invade the Engineer's home planet. Or more Xenomorphs on a cargo ship, with the Engineers (though that feels like more of a retread).

AvP is just fine. It's AvP:R that need not exist.
