With his Aliens spiritual sequel sidelined until the completion and release in theaters of Ridley Scott's Prometheus follow-up Alien: Covenant, South African writer/director Neill Blomkamp is now teasing an entirely new and mysterious project.
Blomkamp's untitled Aliens sequel would
have seen the return of Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley and Michael Biehn as
Cpl. Dwayne Hicks, as well as Newt, presumably.
As for Scott's Alien
prequel, it is the second installment in a prequel trilogy that began with Prometheus — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science
fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of
the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think
is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole
inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of
the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Opening in theaters on August 4, 2017, Alien: Covenant also stars Katherine
Waterston, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Billy Crudup, Carmen Ejogo, Callie
Hernandez, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Benjamin Rigby, and Alexander England.
