I think that earlier report about a bored guy, sitting in his room, endlessly churning out these recycled rumours is probably correct, but I thought that I'd post this anyway:

Cameron Mulls More Aliens?
James Cameron, who directed Aliens, held out the possibility of helming another installment of the popular SF franchise in an interview with the Canadian Edmonton Sun newspaper. Cameron told the paper that it would have to be truly scary and likely an R-rated film.
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."
Cameron added, "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."

I see he's back to "the
possibility of helming another installment" now. Last year it was "greenlighted" and "prepped to go"!
