Sigourney Weaver, perhaps best known for starring as Ripley in the “Alien” franchise, feels little love for one of the later entries in the series, 2004’s “Alien vs. Predator.”

A fan at the London Film and Comic-Con asked Weaver if it was her choice to have her character, Ripley, killed off in the end of “Alien 3,” to which she replied, “Well, yes, because I heard that Fox was gonna do ‘Alien vs Predator.’ Which really depressed me because I was very proud of the movies.”

“I’ve nothing against building a movie on a video game but at the time, it was, as [‘Aliens’ director] Jim Cameron said I think publicly, ‘Why would you want to do that?’” the Radio Times reports Weaver said.
