10 Actors Who Didn't Realise They Were In Crap Films
9. Sigourney Weaver - Alien: Resurrection
Sigourney Weaver was done with xenomorphs. Alien 3 had rounded off Ripleys character arc, with her death stopping the series become a contrived case of sleep-fight-repeat. And yet only five years after David Finchers compromised threequel she was back in Alien: Resurrection. Set a couple of hundred years after the original films, Resurrection sees the company finally get their hands on the titular creature, with a cloned Ripley (mutated with alien DNA) running about ready to muck things up. The script came from Joss Whedon, whose status as a geek God grows with each Age Of Ultron update, but was an utter mess, with the final act reveal of a human-xenomorph hybrid standing as one of the series most ridiculous moments. So why did Weaver come back? What could make this project sound like an interesting prospect? Turns out it was that script; shed read it and found the concept so intriguing she went back on her previous departure. According the Special Edition DVD, she found it a return to the tone of the first two films of the series. Well at least one person did.
