With Sigourney Weaver and – potentially Michael Biehn – set to reprise the roles of Ripley and Hicks for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien sequel/reboot, it’s now been announced that Carrie Henn will be returning to the Alien universe for the unofficial fan film Alien Identity from director Adam Sonnet.
Henn – who portrayed Newt in 1986’s Aliens and has not appeared on screen since the James Cameron sequel – will play Newt’s mother in a flashback sequence in Identity, with Sonnet’s wife Elle Viane Sonnet starring as the now twenty-something Newt. Henn will also be joined by Ricco Ross, who played the colonial marine Pvt. Robert Frost in Aliens, and will appear as Frost’s brother Richard.
Alien Identity will position Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection as “cryo-sleep nightmares” and will catch up with Newt some 14 years after Aliens. Here’s the brief synopsis…
When given confidential information about her traumatizing youth, deep space colonist Rebecca “Newt” Jorden, must find the courage to face her new found identity.
