Director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) confirmed today via Instagram that his next film will be an Alien sequel for 20th Century Fox. Sources also say that original Alien director Ridley Scott will produce the film.
Blomkamp will develop a script that is set after the Prometheus 2 story. Scott, who helmed the original Alien for Fox in 1979, is also set to direct and produce the Prometheus sequel.
As of now, there is no script for Prometheus 2 or the new Alien film.
Plan on there being much more to come on this in the coming months, so keep it right here at Horror Society because we’ll be following it all the way. The picture below shows Blomkamp’s Alien concept art from his Instagram acct.
