I clicked on the link, but couldn't find the article. However I think rebooting Alien is a stupid idea right off the bat. Also recasting Ripley with a man is stupid. Even if Ripley was recast with a younger female actress the idea would be stupid.
What reboot has worked out? Total Recall reboot was crap, Robocop reboot was crap, and so was the Ghostbusters reboot.
I'd rather see the Alien 5 that Blomkamp's, with the original Ripley return, and have an adult Newt to carry on the torch.
I watch Alien once a year I love the film so much, and man you can't replace Sigourney Weaver. Ripley is her role.
Ripley is in my top five favorite female sci fi characters of all time.

as low budget as they were the blob 1989 was better then the 50s version and the thing was better then "The thing from another world". Nowdays reboots suck because they are big budget which forces the studios to drop to a lower rating to make more money which destroys realism of movies like robocop. (Robocop fireing rubber bullets and taze bullets come on). Ghost busters just wasnt funny or engaging like the original. The all female cast could have worked but thefilm just kept trying to draw attention to the fact it had an all female cast.
