I *think* for Hurt, Stanton, and Matthews, discussions now go to the Executors of their Estates.
I took the Kenner Apone basically as a concession on Neca's part that a movie Alone wasn't coming. I think there's still hope for Drake for a few reasons. Mark Ralston seemed up for it when he was asked about it on Twitter. I think they ran with production on the Kenner version before that though, and since there was a big delay and basically no alien figures released in over a year, they may have began production on that, but didn't want to show it off before the stuff they showed a year ago was made available yet. At least, that's what I'm hoping.
