All kinds of cool

I bought Dawn of War: Soulstorm yesterday and all I can say is that it rooooooooooooooooooocks! WOOHOO!

And then, as I am trawling around the site, what do I stumble across but Dawn of War II? How did I not know this already? Anyway .....

WOOHOO!

Alien 5?

Sigourney Weaver's recovered from her post-AvP shock and would now do A5 if "..... I had a director like Ridley Scott and we had a good idea", according to this interview.

Two comments:
Q1. Is the franchise robust enough to recover and get a good script and director?
A1. Yes and no, I think, sadly.

Q2. Any new movie always revolves around Ripley's character. Is the franchise strong enough to move on and use another central character?
A2. Yes, but no it shouldn't, I think. A movie without Ripley would be like Beethoven 6 being about a chihuahua.
