Neill Blomkamp is Officially Taking on an Alien Sequel!

Neill Blomkamp director of District 9 and Elysium made huge waves last month within the circles of movie lovers, when he posted a series of concept art designs for a new film in the 20th Century Fox’s Alien franchise. Artwork was unofficial but that’s what he said:

“So I think it’s officially my next film,”

At this point it’s uncertain precisely what route the new film will take or if Signourney Weaver will be returning to the franchise.

20th Century Fox has since confirmed the news, clarifying that this is, indeed, a sequel to the original Alien franchise and not the Prometheus sequel currently set for release March 4, 2016.
