“I met Sigourney on Chappie and I had a different idea for an Alien film I wanted to make.
Although people were excited to see Sigourney Weaver return as Ripley in Neill Blomkamp’s proposed Alien 5, she wasn’t always the lead character in the movie.
In addition to having Weaver reprise her role as Ripley, Blomkamp’s movie was going feature the return of Michael Biehn as Cpl.
I spent about a year working on it with only Sigourney knowing and I hired one really awesome concept artist.
