Earlier this year, Neill Blomkamp released a set of concept art he’d created for a potential Alien 5<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>on his Instagram<\/a> account (pics via Bloody Disgusting<\/a>).<\/p>\n Speaking to Collider<\/a>, Blomkamp clarified why he’d done this, and whether or not a movie was actually on the cards.<\/p>\n “There was a reason,” he said. “I wanted to make that film. I still may make that film. [Laughs] It may happen. But I did it on my own time. Like when Chappie<\/i><\/strong> was winding down in post and I had available time, I started to work on it. It was also from talking to Sigourney [Weaver] during the making of this. I mean, I asked her about Alien<\/i><\/strong> all the time. Alien<\/i><\/strong> and Aliens<\/i><\/strong> are my favorite films.<\/p>\n “So I genuinely wanted to make that film, I came up with the story, I came up with way<\/i> more art than I put out and I never officially spoke to Fox about it, but Fox wanted to make it. So, I kind of touched on it and I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t know if I was just gonna go leave directing for a whole bunch of time and then I was like, ‘I might as well put some art out.’ But I may make it. I don’t know. That’s where it stands.”<\/p>\n It’s interesting to see that Blomkamp isn’t ruling anything out, and that Fox are apparently keen to get an Alien 5<\/em> <\/strong>going. We’d love to see Weaver back as Ripley and the concept of a Blomkamp Alien<\/em><\/strong> movie is definitely exciting. If it really is up to Blomkamp, we’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n Chappie<\/em> is released in UK cinemas 6 March.
