James Cameron told The
Edmonton Sun that he is interested in returning for another Alien
movie as long as he can make it scary:
The 1979 original Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, "holds a special
classic niche as one of the great terrifying experiences," Cameron
said. "And the trick (to making a new Alien film) is you don't go
crazy and make a $150-million movie because you don't want to have
to compromise, you don't want to try to do a PG-13 Alien that is
all things to everyone."
An Alien flick, Cameron said, ought to put the psychology back into
psychological horror.
"It's got to still maintain its roots in this kind of cinematic id.
Ridley did it really beautifully. He just kind of put you into this
Freudian nightmare space."
Cameroon directed the 2nd and unarguably the best in the
series.
