With Fede Alvarez‘s “Alien” movie in production now and a TV series in development over at FX (likely for FX On Hulu), it’s safe to say that the “Alien” franchise lives on. But don’t expect its main heroine to appear in future installments.

After flirting with obsolescence in the late 2000s, writer/director Paul Schrader has been experiencing something of a career renaissance. His original screenplay for 2017’s “First Reformed” was nominated for an Academy Award, and his 2022 follow-up “The Card Counter” appeared in numerous critics’ annual “best of” lists. Now, the acclaimed filmmaker’s momentum will be tested once again with the arrival of his latest opus “Master Gardener.” Here’s the indie crime thriller’s official synopsis: “Narvel Roth is the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens, a beautiful estate owned by wealthy dowager Mrs.

The “Alien” franchise has had a headache-inducing history. Though dozens of scripts were developed over the years, many were completely tossed out, and several films featured last-minute scenes being rewritten on the set during filming.

Veteran actress Sigourney Weaver has made a name for herself playing strong and determined characters going back to the original “Alien” film from 1979, where she essentially played a modified version of the “final girl” in Ridley Scott’s artsy sci-fi take on the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” However, her ambitions to get behind the camera as a director seemingly were dashed by “incredible sexism” in Hollywood that she experienced first-hand as an actress trying to lead rather large studio films over multiple decades.  While speaking with The New York Times to promote her upcoming film “Call Jane,” Weaver explains why she never pursued directing as a profession.

Sigourney Weaver says she can't wait for the world to finally see what's been in the works in the 13 years since the first hit theaters.Weaver walked the red carpet at the 2022 Elle Women in Hollywood gala at the Getty Center in Los Angeles on Monday, and she spoke with ET's Deidre Behar about the hotly anticipated sequel, «It's a hell of a movie,» Weaver said, in awe. «It is an amazing story.

Paul Schrader always knew that “Master Gardener” would be controversial.

Filmmaker Paul Schrader revealed some of the details of his next project at the New York Film Festival during the Q&A for his beautiful and more optimistic new film, “The Master Gardener.”  During the discussion with NYFF’s Dennis Lim and the film’s stars Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver, Schrader said his next film would be about a “trauma nurse working in Puerto Rico.” But as he detailed, in his conversation about “The Master Gardener” and the so-called God’s Lonely Man trilogy that includes “First Reformed” and “The Card Counter,” this vocation, trauma nurse would just be the “occupational metaphor” used to hide what the film is really about.

After a 13-year gap, the saga will pick up with in December before continuing on with what are currently being dubbed, and in 2024, 2026 and 2028, respectively. Stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and others look back on the original while teasing what’s to come as picks up on their story over a decade later.“It’s been about 10 years,” Weaver tells ET of the time she’s committed to the franchise since starring in the first one.

Paul Schrader is under no illusions about “Master Gardener,” the sure-to-be-divisive final chapter in an informal trilogy that kicked off with 2017’s “First Reformed” and continued with last year’s “The Card Counter.” For starters: the film centers on a former white supremacist (played by Joel Edgerton) and his attempts at redemption. “This one is going to piss people off,” Schrader told IndieWire of the film, which premiered out of competition this weekend at the Venice Film Festival, where the auteur is also being given a lifetime achievement award.

Longtime “Alien” franchise screenwriter and producer Walter Hill (“48 Hours“) has revealed that Disney isn’t too keen on his “Alien 5” spec script — or in bringing back Sigourney Weaver‘s iconic hero Ellen Ripley for a legacy sequel. The “Alien” franchise is in an interesting place at the moment.

It should not be a stretch to say that the United States is currently in a state of cognitive disarray following the overruling of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.

Sigourney Weaver may be best known for her iconic role of Ripley from the “Alien” franchise, where she is a total badass and murders Xenomorphs like there’s no tomorrow.

When Sigourney Weaver appeared on the cast list for James Cameron’s upcoming “Avatar: The Way Of Water,” fans of the mega-franchise had some serious questions.

We casually throw the word “icon” around with such abandon these days that it almost feels like we need a new, more potent idiom to describe those who actually fit the bill. But until we get that term, let’s say that Sigourney Weaver is an absolute icon and leave it at that — a brilliant actor equally adept at drama, action, and comedy, a three-time Academy Award nominee (two of them in the same year), the kind of screen presence who lifts just about anything she’s in.

We haven’t even had the world premiere of his latest film, “The Card Counter,” but it appears that Paul Schrader is ready to move onto his newest project, titled “Master Gardener.” According to Deadline, Paul Schrader is putting together the cast for his new film, “Master Gardener,” and has enlisted talented folks such as Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver to appear.

With the appointment of a new Supreme Court justice to take the place of the recently deceased Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the idea that Roe v. Wade (and the future of reproductive rights for women) could be overturned is a real possibility.
