Really??? Ya think that they would really change the ending because of a 20 something year old movie? I would really hope not!

They might...but since there are no copyright issues, they shouldn't have to.
It might even be kinda funny for Jack to make some backhanded comment about feeling like he's in some damn James Cameron movie...something like "Unfortunately, taking off and nuking the ship from orbit isn't an option."

They might be afraid that the public will not like it, "I didn't like that movie, I mean, the ending was so similar to Alein! I will tell every one I know not to see that movie."

Let's be realistic, all the heavy love scenes with Kolobati will have the under 40 men showing up in droves, whether they think the end copies Aliens or not.
Seriously though...I can't imagine FPW saying that he was "...happy with the script" (in his Movie-blog) if they eviscerated the ending.
If we are going to see any tampering, my bet is that it will occur at the end of the filming with them shooting multiple endings to "audience test." That's where the real fate of the movie could be decided.

Sorry. I've been lurking on fark.com for too long.
When someone quotes you and just says "This" it means they agree with you.
It comes from the Douglas Adams book So Long and Thanks for All the Fish. There's a scene where Arthur is riding in Fenchurch's brother's Saab with Fenchurch and her brother. She's in the backseat asleep. Her brother, (Russel if I'm not mistaken), is telling Arthur that she's crazy and thinks she's a hedgehog. He goes on to say that if someone thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you give them a mirror and a picture of a hedgehog, and let them sort it out for themselves. At roughly this point, Fenchurch shoots up, wide awake, and says "This." Then she falls back asleep.
Yeah, a long explanation. It probably would have been quicker if I had just said, "I agree with this statement," instead of "This." Ah well. Que sera sera, yes?

Thanx WikiLight...it seems I have forgotten that part of SLATFATF.

This.
I think that if/when (I reckon if) they ever get round to making the RJ movie, they'll change the ending. I don't think they'll do it becasue of any similarity to Aliens, but to make it more cinematic. I doubt RJ will stroll around flamethrowering Rakoshi, that worked well in a novel but would be a bit dul to watch. More fighting and running about, methinks.
