Neill Blomkamp recently took to Twitter in order to address a fan question about Alien 5, the movie he was going to make before Ridley Scott decided that he finally wanted to make his Prometheus sequel, which we now know as Alien: Covenant.
After Prometheus brought director Ridley Scott back to the series he created, he is now making a proper prequel with Alien: Covenant.
Blomkamp had a draft of the script completed and everything seemed in place, but then things fell apart when Ridley Scott started working on Alien: Covenant.
As exciting as that is, there is still a lot of hope among fans for District 9 director Neill Blomkamp’s proposed Alien 5.
