** January 19th 1998 - Movie News/Rumours **

Golden Globe Awards 1998 - Click here to read a complete breakdown of the things that happened in last nights show. Personally, I liked what Ving Rhames did.

Box Office - "Titanic'' raised $29.2 million at the weekend box office as it entered its second month at the top of the rankings, according to studio estimates. Since its Dec. 19 release, ''Titanic'' has earned about $236 million in North America, according to distributor Paramount Pictures. Second place at the weekend box office went to the Matt Damon psychological drama ''Good Will Hunting.'' Denzel Washington's supernatural thriller "Fallen'' opened in third and tied with "As Good As It Gets.'' They were followed by the new action-adventure film ''Hard Rain.''

Alien: 5 - The Unofficial, Norwegian Alien: 5 Site just got an E-Mail from a Fox insider the other day, here's a few things he had to say about Alien: 5 [ Thanks to Christian Fowler ]

"LV-426 IS NOT THE ALIEN HOMEWORLD! The alien eggs were there because a derelict alien space vessel crashed due to its pilot being infected by the alien parasite. All these rumours about returning to LV-426 are FALSE. And in the closing note by this site's creator, all my friend had to say was..."exactly".

The BISHOP rumor is TRUE, but just remember... until the script gets the 'greenlight' all of this could mean nothing. Christmas '98 is a pipe dream since the script isn't even finished and nothing's been started yet . More than likely Alien 5 will be in theatres between early Summer and Fall 1999, depending on where The First Star Wars will be placed. Alien 6 will be out sometime in the year 2000 or early 2001.

Alien 5 and 6 may be filmed back-to-back like the Star Wars prequels. Sigourney Weaver DOES NOT plan to direct Alien 5. The Sulaco rumor is totally FALSE!!!! Fox does not plan on covering old ground. This is definite FanBoy speculation. Fans have been waiting for two things to happen in the series and thay plan to give the fans what they want - ALIEN 5: Set on Earth, and ALIEN 6: On the Alien Homeworld. There is no discussion of an Alien 7. Michael Biehn WILL NOT be returning as Hicks, nor Bill Paxton as Hudson. New ground, remember?"
