February 22, 2015 by Neil Calloway

This week Neil Calloway is wary of Neill Blomkamp’s Alien film… When Neill Blomkamp released some of the artwork for his proposed Alien film, I was impressed – concept art for science fiction films is often better than the films themselves – and mentally filed it in my “great unmade films” drawer.
