Following in the footsteps of yesterday’s massively exciting news that Neill Blomkamp is officially directing an Alien film for 20th Century Fox is yet another thrilling bit of information, which should be music to your Xenomorph-loving ears. Read on for the latest!
It has now been 100% confirmed that Alien director Ridley Scott will be producing Blomkamp’s installment in the enduring franchise, which is based on various pieces of concept art he recently worked up on his own time. But that’s not all.
Not only will Scott be producing but it’s being said that Blomkamp’s unnamed Alien film will take place directly following the events of Prometheus 2, which Scott is currently working on. The first Prometheus was loosely tied to the Alien franchise, and it looks like that connection will soon become stronger than ever.
Of course, Prometheus 2 hasn’t even begun filming yet, so those looking forward to seeing what Blomkamp does with the iconic property have quite a long wait ahead of them. But we’ll do our best to make that wait as easy on you as possible, by keeping tabs on this developing project.
In the meantime, check out Blomkamp’s concept art below, offering a peek at his vision for what’s being (unofficially) referred to as Alien 5!
