Neill Blomkamp’s ALIEN 5 Put on Hold Because of ALIEN: PARADISE LOST

It looks like Neil Blomkamp might not get to make Alien 5 after all. His project has been put on hold in favor of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Paradise Lost. According to Deadline, there’s a chance that Blomkamp might not get to make the movie at all. A lot of people thought this might happen when Scott started pushing Alien: Paradise Lost. Blomkamp confirmed the news on Twitter and said that he will be moving on to other projects.

alien is kinda holding/ pending prometheus 2. So I shall be working on other things… as much as I love the xeno- and Lt ripley

There’s still a chance that Alien 5 could happen, it’s just no longer moving forward at the moment. The rose is definitely off the bloom for Neil Blomkamp. After three films, he has gained a reputation of being a one-trick pony, and being the South African equivalant to M. Night Shyamalan. As much as fans want to see more Ellen Ripley, no one outside of South Africa wants to see ” Alien vs. Die Antwoord.” Since he loves the franchise as much as I, he can direct the fanfic I wrote.
