February 26, 2015 by James Garcia

After a debut film like District 9, Neill Blomkamp was likely under a lot of pressure to make a decent follow up. Unfortunately, Elysium was a miss, critically and financially, and didn’t live up to the high expectations that many had placed on the up-and-coming director.

February 26, 2015 by Luke Owen

Based on the leaked concept art for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, which featured Michael Biehn’s Hicks, it was assumed that this new movie would take place in a continuity where only the first two Alien films would not exist due to Hicks being killed off in the opening moments of Alien 3. Well, now that’s been […]

The Calloway Way – Why The New Alien Movie Might Disappoint

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.

Neill Blomkamp discusses his Alien movie, says “there’s a high degree of chance” that he’ll try to get it made

February 11, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Last month, Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) shared some concept art that he’d commissioned for an Alien film that he was quietly developing, which included shots of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and Hicks (Michael Biehn) – the latter of whom (rather disappointingly) never managed to make it to the opening scene of Alien 3 alive. Little […]
