Sigourney Weaver surprises students after an encore performance of viral 'Alien' play.
A New Jersey high school was remade into the starship Nostromo one more time Friday night -- and its most famous crew member dropped in for a surprise visit.
The drama club only had enough money to put the production on for two nights in March, but the director of the film, Ridley Scott, ponied up $5,000 after the performance went viral.One of those in attendance: Sigourney Weaver, who starred as protagonist Ellen Ripley in the film. "Our one girl that plays Ripley was just hugging her, she couldn't believe it," the play's director, Perfecto Cuervo, said."It was great. It was pretty awesome; it's just a great validation of what we did today."
When the original production grabbed the internet's attention a month ago, both Weaver and Scott sent their well wishes.
