Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, talks about his concept images and thoughts of an Alien movie he was secretly working on – Gabriel Lorden of Philadelphia, Pa.

The Alien science-fiction horror series has been up and down in public opinion and popularity ever since James Cameron version in 1986 but District 9 director, Neill Blomkamp has expressed interest in stepping and saving it. Blomkamp posted almost a dozen images on Instagram yesterday depicting an Alien film he had been working on without the knowledge and/or approval of FOX. It seems that Blomkamp’s depiction would take place after Aliens by virtue of the image including the films main stars, Ripley and Kicks but in a world where the series films have never been made.

Also, the images seem to portray another look inside the corrupt Weyland Corporation and Ripley sporting what looks like a organic Xenomorph suit similar to the concept used in District 9.

However, it doesn’t seem live Blomkamp’s vision of the film will be in production any time soon. Blomkamp stated on Instagram that he loves the concept but he doesn’t think that hes going to be working on it any longer. “Woulda rocked,” Blomkamp writes. “Was a mental stroll into the world Ridley Scott created.” An unverified Twitter account related to Blomkamp elaborated, stating, “I just feel like I might do something else instead.” The good news for anyone hoping to see this movie made is that Blomkamp isn’t stopping because the studio made him. Actually, he doesn’t believe the studio knew he was actually working on it as he tells one commenter on Instagram: “Fox never said no.”

ALIEN V Updated #1 – Posted by Gabriel Lorden

Ridley Scott brought the Xenomorph to the big screen in his film Alien in 1979. James Cameron took over for the sequel Aliens, ramping up the action and introducing Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) to Colonial Marine Corporal Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) and Rebecca “Newt” Jordan (Carrie Henn), a child who survived an alien attack on her distant remote colony.

Biehn has been rumored to reprise the role in Alien V, joining Sigourney Weaver in director Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming entry in the Alien series. The character was thought to be dead at the beginning of Alien III, when the escape ship carrying himself, Ripley and Newt crashes and Ripley is pronounced the only survivor. That decision has long been derided for ending Hicks’ story too abruptly, and the concept art released by Blomkamp seems to confirm the director agrees: Hicks’ story isn’t over.

ALIEN V Updated #2 – Posted by Gabriel Lorden

Presently, no release date is set for Blomkamp’s Alien 5 however the plot for the film will take place well after the events of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and its sequel and closer to the timeline between Aliens and Alien 3. Therefore, Neill Blomkamp Alien movie will act as a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1979 Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens.

Also, it is confirmed that Sigourney Weaver will reprise her role as Ellen Ripley and Michael Biehn will reprise his role as Cpl. Dwayne Hicks.

Alien and Prometheus director Ridley Scott will executive produce both films.
