A new Aliens film

AND Neill Blomkamp AND Sigourney Weaver AND Michael Biehn.  I have died and gone to LV-426.

It wasn’t long ago that Neill Blomkamp took to Instagram to post some concept photos of an Alien film he could have been working on and then abandoned. However, it seems the tides have turned in Blomkamp’s favor and, in the past couple of days, news has been rolling in continuously about the South African director directing a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. Not only that, but it seems the rumors are true: Signourney Weaver will be reprising her role as Ripley.



Sky Media was able to get in touch with both Neill Blomkamp and Sigourney Weaver regarding the announcements, and it seems that everything will be moving forward with the idea that Ripley will receive a “proper ending” to her tale. During the talk, Blomkamp hinted to the fact that his film may ignore the continuity of the last two Alien films in the franchise, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection.



“I want this film to feel like it is literally the genetic sibling of ‘Alien.’ So it’s ‘Alien,’ ‘Aliens’ and then this movie.”



Some of the concept art also revealed that Corporal Dwayne Hicks (played by Michael Biehn of Terminator fame) will be in Blomkamp’s film, further alluding that he aims to ignore the last two films. Fans are already sounding off on Twitter about the announcement, and it has been met with positive remarks.

I'm excited. He also stated that he is going to ignore movies 3&4 which made my husband very excited.

I hated the fourth one for the longest time. Haaaaated it. Then I found out it was written by Joss Whedon and suddenly the entire thing made sense to me. I still think it is completely out of place in the series, but I watched it again in the context of it being a JW film and I found it so much more enjoyable.

OMG. This would be so awesome.

I watched Alien for the first time a few months ago. I HATE anything scary-alien related but I would watch a new alien movie. I actually didn't hate Prometheus when DH drug me to the theater to see it.

I didn't hate Prometheus either, and I liked it even more the second time I watched it. I do think it helps to watch Alien so that you know where Prometheus is going. Otherwise some of it can seem random, and the meaning of the ending is lost.
