Another week, another Alien short. This week's short Alien: Ore follows are a team of platinum ore miners on the commercial mining colony Bowens Landing. Written and directed by Kailey and Sam Spear, and starring Mikela Jay, Tara Pratt, Dalj Brar, Steven Siller, Ambrose Gardener, Theresa Wong, Alexandra Quipse, Julie Boersema, Bola Omodara, Calder Stewart, and Christian Lagasse, Alien: Ore feels reminiscent of the working class, blue-collar aesthetic seen in Alien and Aliens.

Next Friday will be Alien Day. The fandom is already prepared to celebrate 40 years of the Alien franchise, but will Twentieth Century Fox have a surprise in store for Alien Fans - only time will tell.

Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 project was inevitably canceled following the merger between 20th Century Fox and Disney. Blomkamp had hoped to revive characters Hicks and Ripley for a new film, rewriting the Alien timeline, chalking up Alien 3 and Resurrection to mere bad dreams. Studio executives decided to can the project and instead took the franchise in a new direction, tapping Fede Alvarez to direct Alien: Romulus.

Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 is indefinitely shelved.
