London, December 28  Hollywood's first female action hero Sigourney Weaver has been in talks with director Ridley Scott to reprise her role for a fifth `Alien' film.

The two-time Oscar nominee, who first appeared in as Lt Ellen Ripley in the movie in 1979, confessed she would not mind returning as a pensioner, reports the Sun.

She said: "I would definitely do another Alien film if I had a director like Ridley Scott and we had a good idea. Ridley is enthusiastic about it. If it happened, I would be happy."

She continued: "It really didn't bother me being 50 and I don't think it will at 60 either. I really feel good every time I start a new decade.

"I think: `There could be another ten years ahead and I wonder what they will bring?' The only thing that does bother me is how quickly time passes; the years are racing by."

She added: "I always think it's important to keep going, at whatever age you are, at something which interests you." (ANI)
