I, for one, am excited for this.

There's also a plan in the works for a Neil Blomkamp Alien film so I've heard.

Supposed to undo Alien 3 and Rez?

Two new production stills have been released.

There's also a rumour that the first trailer might be released in the following few days (it has been rated already).

I have to say i rather liked the idea of the story that completely altered the timeline... the one where Ripley, Hicks, Bishop and Newt aboard the Solaco successfully return to Earth, the entire events of Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection being Ripley's nightmares while in cryostasis and Ripley and Hicks are again called upon to confront the Alien.

the very best addition to the Alien franchise in my opinion was the story line of the video game Alien Isolation

Amada Ripley (daughter of Ellen Ripley) grows to a young 20 something who now works for WY in the region of space where her mother went missing 15 years earlier. She is approached by a company representative who states that a salvage crew found the Nostromo's flight data recorder jettisoned onto the nearby planet LV-426 and is invited to tag along to the Space Station Sevastopol where the flight data recorder is being held. Amanda hopes it will help bring closure in coping with her mother's loss so she tags along. Upon arrival, Sevastopol Station is in ruin and the few humans which remain there have devolved into a state of social breakdown and chaos and the stations' master computer "APOLLO" has taken almost complete control. it turns out the crew of the salvage vessel that found the flight data recorder brought an Alien back with them and all hell has broken loose. its a really great storyline and an awesome game.

Alien was a great, classic piece of Sci-Fi cinema history, Aliens added a considerable number of concepts and story arcs to the series but After Alien 3, things have begun to fall apart for the saga... i hope that they don't deliver us another stinker.

Also, someone over at 4chan who had seen the movie during a test screening gave away the entire plot.
