Neill Blomkamp Says He Thinks An ALIEN Movie "Is Officially My Next Film"

I was just sitting here thinking about Prometheus again, because even though it's deeply flawed, that movie still has images that stick with me. But now it appears that a new entry into the Alien mythology is coming soon, and it's not Prometheus 2 - well, not yet, anyway. This is one that fans of the franchise should be super excited about.

District 9 director Neill Blomkamp released a bunch of concept art from an abandoned Alien project he'd been developing early this year, and then just last week mentioned that he might actually make a movie based on those designs if he felt up to it. Well now it appears that he's feeling up to it and has had some conversations with the folks at 20th Century Fox, because he just put the following image on Instagram with a telling caption:

Um... So I think it's officially my next film. #alien

This is excellent news, and I can't wait to see what he does with the property! We'll keep you updated with more information as it becomes available, but this should be a happy day for Alien fans everywhere.
