Neil Blomkamp has confirmed that his sequel “Aliens” is dead by the fault of Ridley Scott

Apparently, this topic can be closed. Actually, this was written in November of 2015, and Ridley Scott managed to bury the project recently. Now Neil Blomkamp himself has acknowledged (in interviews) that his dreams will not come true.

Brief background is that the Creator of the movie “District 9” “Elysium” and “the Robot named Chappy” Blomkamp was developing the film, which could be a direct sequel to “Aliens” by James Cameron; the project was even able to interest the Studio bosses of 20th Century Fox; but then the Creator of the original “Alien” by Ridley Scott come to grips with the sequel to “Prometheus” (and thus a prequel to “Alien”), the film “Alien: Testament”, in connection with the project, Blomkamp was “frozen”.

In the end Scott said “Foreign” Blomkamp:

I think he will never see the light of day. Had no script, just an idea that has developed in a dozen pages. I had to participate as a producer, but it has not moved forward because Fox decided I didn’t want to do it.

According to rumors, “Fox” lost interest in the project after not too successful performance at the box office “Robot named Chappy”. News about the idea of “Stranger” from Blomkamp appeared just before the premiere of “Chappy”, so frail cash charges instantly cool the hot heads at 20th Century Fox and badly shattered their faith in the talents of the Nile.

Whatever it was, and Blomkamp back in business with a new fiction, therefore, gives new interview – confirms as fact that his “Alien” is dead, and what killed the project was Ridley Scott.

I think this project is dead, Yes. At this stage, these words accurately describe the situation. That sadness. I spent a lot of time working on this, and I think it was very impressive. But, if you do the gracious thing, the way it ended, and how it all progressed – the project will not survive.

He also spoke about the role of Ridley Scott in all of this:

Yeh. Ridley was one of the idols of my childhood. He is so talented, he made this movie really showed me my path. I want to show respect and not to trample on the universe that he created. I think that if the circumstances were different, and I wouldn’t have felt that too close to something with which he, apparently, feels a strong personal connection, the case could turn the other way. But I wanted to be respectful.

In General, Mr. Blomkamp turns, that really is in the pan, trying not to say directly that to blame the old man Scott. But, you know, all of these “project is dead” and so on, can only be a good mine at the poor game. Do not forget that “Alien: Testament” poorly acted at the U.S. box office, so the next movies Scott in this series at the moment in question. And it can give a chance Blomkamp to go back to work… Not right now, but in the event of the success of his other project, is likely.
