He also has high hopes of eventually returning to the Alien franchise as long as he can get the go-ahead to make a truly scary (and likely 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."
An Alien flick, Cameron said, ought to put the psychology back into psychological horror.
"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 dunno what else can be done with this movie series. the first one was so GREAT, and scary. aliens 2 was pretty scary and FUNNY......then it just got less and less interesting after that.
cameron can make good movies, he just has that tendency to go OVER the top and make these megabusters that are too much special FX and not enough substance. i'd prolly go see another aliens (bargin matinee) just to see what he comes up with.....ehhehehhe
*loves movies*

I don't get it - a new 'R' rated film is different from the other 4 'R' rated Alien films how?
His other Alien film rocked, so it's ok by me.

actually, he has the tendency to go over the top and still have substance, his Aliens was just as great as Ridley's in it's own way, I can't tell which one I like better, ridley's or cameron's because they both have different approaches that were executed to perfection.
I can't agree any less with dirtypriest though, I surely wouldn't want this franchise turned into shit by letting any director get his hands on it, as shown in the abominable alien resurrection, which raped the trilogy so much by making it a silly cartoonstyle flick with no atmosphere,realistic-ness or seriousness in it at all.
The only approach to the Alien franchise that would get me excited now, would be that they reach earth and spawn like crazy creating more hell on earth, resulting in some huge ultimate battle that would evaporate mankind forever.

the others were r? ok maybe, but his statement sounds like he wanted to top it, so it sounds quite good
i can imagine a lot more sex and splatter, without loosing the creepy touch and becoming ridicoulous...
but only if it gets a mixture between the first two films...
like a spaceships gets a emegency call from a station on a planet and nobody knows about anything, so itll be completely new to everybody in that movie...
+ a cave embedded in the planet that is full of the creepiest ever
btw does anyone know the aliens vs predator comic? very nice combination i would say
for those who dont know...: predators let aliens breed on some planet to have a hunt later...
in that comic a human colony gets between those two space races

no not like that, but real dark and sober without a happy ending. I dreamed some lovely scary scenes of Aliens on earth once, but a movie can never top that :P
