Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN 5 Is On Hold Due To Ridley Scott's ALIEN: PARADISE LOST

When it was announced that Ridley Scott was moving forward with Prometheus 2, and had about 3 more Prometheus films planned, we all wondered what was to happen with Neill Blomkamp‘s Alien 5.

Many of you may not find this news to pleasing, but Chappie director Neill Blomkamp, via Twitter, has confirmed that Alien 5 has been put on hold, seemingly due to scheduling conflicts with Ridley Scott’s Alien: Paradise Lost.

Check out Blomkamp's tweet below.


With this revealed, this leads us to wonder just how long will we have to wait to see Ripley and Hick's next alien-filled adventure. And with Ridley Scott announcing that he has over 3 more "Prometheus" films planned after Prometheus 2, will we have to wait until that barrage of movies is done, or will we get the film in between their cinematic debuts?

Whatever happens, I'm sure we'll receive an official statement from both Ridley and Blomkamp discussing regarding the topic very soon. Until then, it seems as if Blomkamp (as said in the tweet), will be working on other projects. What do you think about this? Share your thoughts about this news in the comment section below!


Alien: Paradise Lost is set to star Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace, and is currently slated to hit theaters May 30, 2017.

I'm fine with this, I'd rather get Prometheus 2 right now and wait on Alien 5.

Good. Scott had a great film this year. Neil while I love District 9, Elyisum was meh and we all know how bad Crappie was.

I seriously hope Fox reconsider the direction they're taking this new Alien movie, if Blomhack isn't good enough to come with an original idea instead just erase the best alien movie (Alien 3 -Assembly Cut-) in favor of fanfiction then he doesn't deserve to be part of the Alien franchise.

I would like WB to get him to make Martian Manhunter for the DCEU. With how well he made the Prawn in D9 I can't help but imagine him making the Martians great too.

I'm excited for both ALIEN 5 and PROMETHEUS 2 (aka ALIEN: PARADISE LOST). Hopefully, they make ALIEN 5 after PROMETHEUS 2, as that would be better than waiting until after PROMETHEUS 4.
