Ridley Scott wants to do Alien 5!!! Yup, he mentioned it to The Chicago Sun Times:

Alien 5: Ridley Scott commented last week he's been considering a fifth "Alien" film as one of his next projects, now he expanded on those remarks to The Chicago Sun Times - "I'm seriously mulling it over. I think it would be a lot of fun, but the most important thing is to get the story right". Scott however isn't keen on the 'aliens infest Earth' idea saying "Earth would be interesting, and there is talk about it" in a rather bored tone, rather he'd like to explore the idea of their origins: "I say we should go back to where the alien creatures were first found and explain how they were created. No one has ever explained why. I always figured that a battleship carrying bio-mechanical organisms that could be weapons was sent into space with some space jockey who didn't last long". One project its confirmed he is doing is a collaboration with brother Tony Scott on a 3-hour mini-series for the ABC network about one of the worst natural disasters in history - the 1889 Johnstown flood. Thanks to 'FanHalen' & 'Michael'

I got this from http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/020123.htm. It looks like the Sun Times article is down now. Still, exploring the origin of the Aliens sounds pretty sweet. I know I am not remotely as big a fan as you guys, but I do enjoy the first two immensly.

Having Ridley back is second to having Cameron back so that may be good. Can't be any worse that 3 or 4 but I just hope if done it'll be awesome and no letdown.

Well yeah, Cameron would be my first choice as well but I think we can all settle for Ridley. If he does it, I have a hard time thinking he is going to just push out some cheap shit to make a quick buck. He seems to actually care about how his movies do.
