Director of the upcoming Alien sequel, Alien 5, Neill Blomkamp has just released a fresh piece of Alien 5 concept artwork featuring both Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and Cpl. Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) in some kind of warehouse. The two characters are face-to-face with a (what we're assuming to be) a Yutani security / military officer. Were Ripley and Hicks rescued from the Sulacco? This new piece raises so many questions.
Speculation aside, Blomkamp added the tagline "#Alien going very well. Love this project"
What do you think is happening in this new piece of concept art? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
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.
