Aparently Blomkamp is directing the new Alien movie . . .

Whether you liked or hated his movies, it’s hard to deny that Neill Blomkamp has a unique style that is applied to whatever he works on. After hitting the big time with District 9, Blomkamp followed that effort up with Elysium, and then Chappie which is out later this year. So what’s next for Blomkamp? At one point, he teased making an Alien movie, before shrugging off such a product. Well it looks like a deal is in place, because Blomkamp will indeed be helming a brand new film set in that horrific universe.

On Instagram, Blomkamp posted some classic H.R. Giger Alien artwork and commented “Um… So I think it’s officially my next film.” According to Variety, Blomkamp has come to an arrangement with 20th Century Fox, to direct a movie that will be completely seperate from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus prequel, which is also getting a sequel.

And it’s going to be a damn good fit. Blomkamp still teased some Alien concept art that he had done last year, just for the hell of it. And its art which looked downright spooky, as it featured Sigourney Weaver dressed up like a Space Jockey, alongside a heavily-scarred Michael Biehn as space marine Hicks. Blomkamp made waves with his idea for refugee aliens in District 9, but seeing those ideas applied to the Alien franchise?

I can’t bloody wait to see what he has in store.

I hope he does a good job, a bit worried about it after watching the trailers for Chappy. . . .
 
Could be good. But seems more in line with the sequel (action) and not so much with the original (horror), which isn't quite the route I'd like them to go.
 
Is he doing an Alien or Aliens film? Personally, I'd like to see him do something a bit slower like Alien, instead of an action title like Aliens.
 
Interesting. I like Blomkamp's movies. Chappie also looks interesting, wasn't aware of the movie until now. Thanks Wyvern:)
 
I really liked the 2 movies of his I saw. But the trailer I saw for Chappy just looks off. Something Number 5 is alive about it without the magic. I will reserve judgement until after I see it.

Alien and Blomkamp sounds like a pretty good mix, but I still think he would have done a great Halo movie!
 
Not a big fan of his concept art and the fact that most of his movies are action-oriented doesn't appeal much to me either, but I'm curious to see what he comes up with. I guess it can't be worse than the AvP movies.

Hey, Sigourney Weaver has an amazing voice. :mad:

She, Sean Connery and Morgan Freeman are at the top of my list of people I'd like to read me bedtime stories.

Dunno so much about Sigourney reading a bedtime story, unless it was something like 50 Shades of Grey ..... if ya know what I mean :D
