I don’t think there’s a pair of related movies out there as tonally different as Alien and Aliens. The first film is a tense thriller, an extra-terrestrial horror that has managed to maintain its charm for decades now. And then there’s Aliens, a sequel which swapped the stalker suspense for a high dose of action that was pitch perfect for …

Thanks to Ridley Scott and his indecisiveness about exactly what he wants to do with the Prometheus sequel (that move had like 3 title changes and just as many release date swaps!), we just have to be good little boys and girls and wait for Neill “District 9” Blomkamp to finally give us his Alien movie and thus explain what all that cool concept art was …

It seems the xenomorph-cat is out of the bag. Neill Blomkamp’s still untitled Alien film may be delayed indefinitely thanks to Ridley Scott and his pesky Prometheus plans taking prominence (say that three times fast while drunk!), but that doesn’t mean that we still don’t want to know exactly what the hell it’s supposed to be about. Especially after Neill …

For a brief while it looked like we’d see two movies set in the Alien universe being released in 2017 – Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel, Alien: Paradise Lost, and Neill Blomkamp’s untitled Alien 5 sequel. I’m going with Alien: Re-resurrection: I live, I die, I live again! However last night the South African-born director took to Twitter to inform his …

According to an interview with The Daily Beast, Ridley Scott claims that Neill Blomkamp’s in-development, still-untitled Alien film will be released in 2017. Slip of the tongue? Misprint? While we still know very little about Blomkamp’s film other than the concept art – Is it a sequel? How are some of the characters alive? – the only requisite placed on Blomkamp’s …

It’s been four days since Kervyn told us about the incredible self-produced The Leviathan short, which director Ruairi Robinson said then was essentially a public movie pitch: It’s a big gamble. I think the process of pitching is changing, and showing it to the public first has become a way of getting your toes wet to see if the public responds. …

I don’t envy director Neill Blomkamp right now. Hitting Hollywood hard with District 9, the helmer has had two flops since then in the form of Elysium and Chappie. Now, with his his plans for a fifth Alien film he’s got to juggle not only some high fan expectations, but a franchise that hasn’t seen a proper sequel for close to …

Here’s the problem with reaching the top: The only place left to go is down. Thus appears to be the lot in life for Neill Blomkamp, the visionary South African born filmmaker who made the most high-flying of debuts with the “fooking prawns” of District 9 a few years ago. His followup, Elysium, with its subtle-as-cancer soapboxing and paper-thin characters, …
