While we're all busy looking ahead towards the release of Ridley Scott's Prometheus follow-up Alien: Covenant and Neill Blomkamp's much talked about Alien sequel, it was nice to switch gears for a little and take a moment to look back at one of the films that started it all, James Cameron's Aliens, which celebrated its 30th anniversary at San Diego Comic-Con 2016.

In addition to the big Hall H panel, Cameron, producer Gale Anne Hurd and stars Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen participated in a press line where we got a little one-on-one time to talk about the passionate fanbase that knows every single line of dialogue and their feelings on where Scott and Blomkamp might take the series. You can check it all out in the video interview at the top of this article and for more San Diego Comic-Con 2016 coverage, click here or browse the links below.

The Aliens 30th Anniversary Limited-Edition Set will be available on Blu-ray & Digital HD September 13th.
