Recently, MTV sat down with movie star Sigourney Weaver and asked her about the possibilities of voicing her film characters in either of the upcoming Sega-published Aliens games. Interestingly, Weaver revealed that she wouldn't voice one of the Aliens games because the script was too naughty. From the interview:
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.
As
MTV Multiplayer noted, Sega hasn’t actually talked to Weaver about either of the two Aliens games. So, the game she was referring to is really anyone’s guess, but it could have been Xatrix Entertainment’s
Redneck Rampage, which would then indicate that the ill-fated developer was working on an
Aliens title. Xatrix spawned the sci-fi action game
Cyberia and its sequel before changing their name to Grey Matter. As Grey Matter they worked on
Call of Duty content in coordination with Treyarch. The pieces are there if Weaver was correct on the title.
In the end, Weaver leaves us with a lot of wonder and a hilarious quote. I almost wish that Ripley was a nun, or that the
Aliens game had a Ripley style character bringing her pious fist down on a Martian horde. That’s good entertainment, Sega. Make it happen.

In a really alien way...
Well and if Ripley were to be in the game, I'd want her to do the voice. I mean wtf, if a game is based on a movie and uses character models that LOOK like the original actors and actresses, they deserve their voices as well. Otherwise it's just retarded.
I really hope Colonial Marines does come out one of these days. After what's going on with Gearbox, I doubt we'll ever see it.
I WANT A NEW ALIENS GAME!
That was a good move for her to turn down it and if I was her turn down that ghostbusters game while she is at it.
You don't like Halo or Gears of War? And you have a problem with the Ghostbusters game?
Judging from your avatar, you only like good old Nintendo games, am I right? Jackass.
And I don't get it, so she was willing to come in and maybe voice Ripley but she said no to the ghostbusters game.
Alien Resurrection was the balls... Jean-Pierre Jeunet should direct all movies.
I lol'd
