 Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/411255-neill-blomkamp-is-officially-taking-on-an-alien-sequelQuote: District 9 and Elysium helmer Neill Blomkamp made headlines last month when he posted a series of concept art designs for a new film in the 20th Century Fox’s Alien franchise. Although the filmmaker admitted that the designs were unofficial, he hinted that he’d be more than happy to take on such a project. Today, Blomkamp posted a new image with a message that should make Alien franchise fans pretty happy!
“So I think it’s officially my next film,” he writes!
At this point it’s uncertain precisely what route the new film will take or if Signourney Weaver (whose Ellen Ripley was featured in the concept designs) will be returning to the franchise.
“[Sigourney] knows about it,” Blomkamp told ComingSoon.net last week, “and part of it was just inspired by speaking to her on set when we were filming ‘Chappie,’ and getting her thoughts on ‘Alien’ and what she thought of the movies that came after ‘Aliens’ and what she felt about Ripley and what was incomplete for her about Ripley. There was so much fuel in what she was telling me.”
You can read more about Blomkamp’s thoughts on the new project right here and check back for further information as soon as it becomes available!
Blomkamp’s latest, Chappie, also stars Weaver and lands in theaters March 6!

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! Screw Prometheus 2, I'll take a new canon Alien film any day. Blompkamp can go either way, but it'll at least have a very interesting style to it. Weaver might be too old to play Ripley now or the Ripley clone, but her involvement either way will interesting.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! I am fine with this as long as it does not impact the Prometheus sequel.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! Can't wait for this film to be set in the same ultra dystopian world of District 9, Elysium, and Chappie.

And the aliens will become an Afrikaans-flavored metaphor for a social cause. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! Blomkamp's Alien sequel is now on-hold, and Prometheus 2 is going to be next.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! That's what you get when Chappie and The Martian are released in the same year. Not surprising.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! That Chappie was an underperformer at the BO and amongst critics where as Martian is the opposite - thus I suspect the studio would have thought better to utilise Ridley coming off a hot film (not that it guarantees anything really) over Blomkamp coming off two disappointing films in a row.
Just my hunch.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! Dam though, I really wish Ridley wasn't going out of his way to delay this film. The way he sulks, his paradise film could be delayed forever and we could still see this film popping up. This is the SWTFA or DOFP film everyone wants and Ridley knows his film is fucked if it comes after it.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! I'd rather a film that's trying to do something new than a fanwank rehash of one that already exists.

Re: Blompkamp to make a new Alien sequel! Me too, I'm sure it'll be fucking terrible; but his last two films have already been worse than any alien film.

Let's be fair, Scott hasn't "done something" in 20+ years. And Prometheus is easily the biggest hack Job of his career. And the worst of the series, even predator 2 in the expanded universe was better. _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun. Chippy wrote: I want to live vicariously through you, Thegun!
