It's hard to imagine an Alien movie without Ripley. And I mean Sigourney, not some other actress. if you're going to cast someone else, then leave Ripley out of it, or it would just be weird.
I love the Alien saga and I didn't think Ressurrection sucked. At all. And I don't watch the movies for the aliens only, I watch them for the characters as well. You can't have a bunch of teens running like crazy in front of some bad ass aliens and expect to make a good movie - like what happened in AVP 2. You need strongly built characters.
So... I would go for Sigourny, as Ripley, again. Or if you must change, make it a male character, but cast someone decent and not one of those cheap I've-never-seen-this-guy-before actors.
Anyways this is grrrrreat news, can't wait :)
