Neill Blomkamp has a history with Alien.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One-time Alien 5 director shuts down any conversation surrounding the scrapped Alien film in an interview. The first Alien movie was released in 1979 to massive acclaim, spawning the sequel Aliens in 1986. Since then, Alien has become a franchise with four installments in the main series and multiple spinoffs and prequels, including Alien vs. Predator and Prometheus.
In a recent interview with Uproxx, Blomkamp was asked questions about Gran Turismo, and the director's response led to some comparisons to his directorial feature debut District 9. Questions then shifted to the sci-fi movie's impact on the director's career and whether the early success proved consequential. Blomkamp gave a short response before requesting to move on. The interviewer then mentioned Blomkamp’s production design for Alien 5.
Following District 9’s success, Blomkamp released Alien 5 production concept art online in 2015 with the implication that he would take on an Alien sequel as his next project. 20th Century Fox confirmed the news, and Blomkamp’s Alien 5 was tentatively slated for a 2017 release. Unfortunately, Blomkamp’s Alien 5 was later cancelled by Fox due to the disappointing Alien: Covenant reception and has yet to be revived.
