Untitled Alien Resurrection sequels

There were supposed to be sequels to Alien Resurrection. Sometime after the release of Alien: Resurrection, Joss Whedon had written a script for Alien 5 where the story took place on Earth.

Plot
Unknown. They would likely be taking place on Earth.

Why They Were Cancelled

 * 1) Alien Resurrection wasn't well-received by critics, audience or fans alike like Alien 3, although Resurrection does have a critical improvement over the third film.
 * 2) In addition, the sequels were cancelled after Resurrection underperformed at the box-office.
 * 3) Sigourney Weaver was not interested in the setting for the films, but has remained open to reprising her role as Ellen Ripley for a fifth installment on the condition that she likes the story.

Results

 * Alien Resurrection is the first (and only) Resurrection movie to be released and both of the sequels for Resurrection were ultimately abandoned.
 * The crossover series arrived in 2004 with Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem in 2007. Both films were not well-received by critics or audiences.
 * It spawned two prequels to the Alien films that were directed by Ridley Scott which were Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

Trivia

 * James Cameron had been collaborating on the plot for a fifth Alien film with another writer.
