The way this continues to bubble over means that it is going to happen sometime. This franchise is worth too much money not to continue it. But I really hope they get the next one right and don't completely mess it up.

Cameron Eyes Alien 5
Aliens director James Cameron told BBCi that he's open to doing a fifth movie in the SF franchise—maybe even with a surprise crossover from his other famous franchise, the Terminator series. "To an extent, yes," Cameron told the news site. "We're looking at doing another one."
Cameron added that he envisions "something similiar to what we did with Aliens: a bunch of great characters and, of course, [star] Sigourney [Weaver]. I've even discussed the possibility of putting [Arnold Schwarzenegger] into the Alien movie."

Please, please dump Sigourney Weaver, and don't let any 'Predator' or 'Predator'-hunter anywhere near it!
I'd much rather see Ridley Scott's prequel idea of the Alien's home planet. It could even uncover some larger conspiracy by the Weyland-Yutani Company right from the very beginning. Maybe they seeded the planet from which the alien wreck came in the first place, to cause genocide of the indigenous population, so they could then annex the mineral rights. Something along those lines... make a new level and dimension to the story. Not just, Alien versus Ripley, Alien versus Terminator, Alien versus Predator.
