Ridley Scott And Sigourney Weaver Give Plenty Of Praise ‘Alien’ High School Play That Went Viral
By Ethan Anderton/March 28, 2019 4:00 pm EST
First up, Ridley Scott wrote a letter to the North Bergen High School students who put on the play. He wrote (via Deadline):
Limitations often produce the best results because imagination and determination can surpass any shortfalls and determine the way forward – ALWAYS.
“My hat comes off to all of you for your creativity, imagination, and determination to produce such an ambitious show.
“Self-sufficiency is what this country was largely based upon with its immigrant population coming in to a New World and working TOGETHER.
This is maybe the biggest lesson for ALL OF YOU, and your future plans — stay with this determination, and this spirit in everything you do, and you will succeed — let nothing put you off — or set you back.
Thank you for doing ‘Alien’. I felt very complimented.”
Even better is that Scott Free is sending them a bit of financing to do an encore performance of the play too. You can see a scan of the letter over at Deadline. But as we said, Scott wasn’t the only one who wanted to give praise.
Sigourney Weaver created a reaction video to what has been revealed from the play so far. In it, she says:
Check out a collection of images and footage from the play, including their initial promo for it, right here:
“I saw a bit of your production of Alien, and it looked incredible. You put so much heart and soul into that. The alien, I must say, looked very real to me. I just wanted to send our compliments. Not only from me but from James Cameron and the original screenwriter, Walter Hill. We all want to say bravo. Well done.”
