The CBS The Early Show yesterday had a talk with Sigourney Weaver about her thoughts and experiences on doing the computer voice to the film WALL•E. She also says why she thinks that Andrew Stanton hired here with an homage on her role as Ripley in Alien.

You actually made a slight mistake by putting “roll” instead of “role” . Just an observation is all.
Now i’m gonna squeel if I ever watch Alien again. XD
Actually, this isn’t the first time Sigourney Weaver has played a ship’s computer. She played the Planet Express Ship in a Valentine’s episode of Futurama back in 2002. Furthermore, in the 1999 movie Galaxy Quest, she played Gwen DeMarco, whose character, Lt. Tawny Madison, had only one job – to repeat whatever the ship’s computer said. Weaver was cast in Galaxy Quest as a reference to her Alien role, and considered Gwen/Tawny the “anti-Ripley.”
