The next time the Hudson character showed up was during the video game version of Aliens developed by Gearbox officially titled “Aliens: Colonial Marines.”
Hudson was shown in the game to have been taken to the Xenomorph’s nest located near the reactor on LV-426. But the game has since been dissed and rebuked by the fans of the “Alien” franchise, claiming that its storyline is totally out of whack from the movie franchise.
But regardless of how Hudson turns out to be, it would be up to the producers and the production team of the upcoming “Alien 5” if they want to cast Bill Paxton to the movie or not. But given his interest and his connections with both Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn, Paxton clearly has a shot on being part of the film.
Paxton has also remained very active in science fiction films of late. He recently starred with Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise in the movie “Edge of Tomorrow.” He certainly has the acting talent and charisma to get his iconic character, Hudson, another shot of outer-space experience with the Xenomorphs.
Neill Blomkamp earlier made a pronouncement that he wants “Alien 5” to be like the genetic sibling of the first two “Alien” films. He said that it should be “Alien,” “Aliens,” and then the fifth film.
