Sigourney Weaver says studio was "idiotic" to not support David Fincher's vision on Alien 3

Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien 3.

Alien star Sigourney Weaver has slammed 20th Century Fox for the studio's "idiotic" decision to not support David Fincher's vision while making Alien 3, a movie the director has since distanced himself from.

"I keenly felt the lack of studio support," Weaver said in a new interview with Deadline. "That was a transition moment when studios stopped being about, 'Let’s make great films' and started being about, 'Let’s not lose money.' They had the great idea to put David Fincher aboard for his first film, but then not to support the guy was very idiotic."
