A year can’t go by without rumors swirling of what direction the future of the Alien franchise is heading. There have been starts and stalls for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, which would be a direct sequel to Aliens, Sir Ridley Scott’s assurances that he’d make more Xenomorph films if/when the Disney purchase of Fox happens, and of […]

With James Cameron returning to the classic science fiction franchise of Terminator (albeit as producer), it makes sense that folks would start asking him about Alien again, right? Specifically, the long-talked-about but eventually scrapped Alien 5 from Neill Blomkamp. Reportedly, Blomkamp’s film would have been a direct sequel to Aliens, complete with Ripely, Newt, and Hicks returning. Sir Ridley Scott sort of […]

In 2018, there was a lot of chatter about a possible Robocop revisit, that would in truth be way more of a direct sequel than anyone thought possible. Justin Rhodes (co-writer of Tim Miller’s The Terminator sequel) was reportedly rewriting a script that Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner originally wrote as a direct sequel to Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 Robocop film. This script reportedly picks up […]

The long-gestating saga of an Alien film from Neill Blomkamp continues, with yet-another quote from Ellen Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. Perhaps you’ll recall when a few years ago, Weaver revealed the plans (at the time) for a direct Aliens sequel that Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) was reportedly working on. It sounded amazing; picking up right after the dropship leaves […]

While plans for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien film came and went (boo, because we really wanted his direct Aliens sequel with grown up Newt), it looks like the filmmaker will be bringing his flavor to another existing science fiction franchise. It would appear that Bloomkamp, along with original Robocop writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, who will be producing and executive producing the feature, […]

Director Neill Blomkamp has made some pretty impactful films.  District 9 showed us another side of what a science fiction film could be, and started pointing to the very real posibility of a Blomkamp Alien picture. Unfortunately, hopes and dreams of his direct-to-Aliens sequel were dashed when Sir Ridley Scott stepped back in and swooped up the franchise […]

If you are a fan of the 1979 sci fi masterpiece Alien, then you more than likely know Ellen Ripley. Here is what she has to say about the upcoming film.

If you are a fan of the 1979 classic sci fi horror masterpiece Alien, then you more than likely know who Ellen Ripley is.  Sigourney Weaver brought the character to life in Ridley Scott’s first entry into the film series, reprised the role in James Cameron’s 1982 follow-up Aliens, and again in two more chapters. It’s […]

Neill Blomkamp is for sure making a new Alien movie.  Fox is producing it, and Sigourney Weaver wants to come back as Ripley. That is about all we know for sure thus far, aside from that amazing concept art of Neill’s.  BUT, thanks to this recent interview with both Blomkamp and Weaver, it appears this […]

Remember that set of AMAZING concept art we showed you from the Alien movie that never was?  Well, we might need to rethink that now, guys. Neill had this to say today via instagram: http://instagram.com/p/zQwEQ0qhBq/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=photo   “[Sigourney] knows about it,” Blomkamp says, “and part of it was just inspired by speaking to her on set when we […]
