Neill Blomkamp Teases Photos And Concept Art From ‘Alien’ Project That Never Was
Neill Blomkamphas already given us an alien movie, but it seems he could have also given us anAlienmovie. TheDistrict 9director posted some very interesting pictures from an Alien project he was working on at one point but has since left. The trove of images include illustrations of an older Ripley and a scarred-up Hicks, concept art of a Weyland-Yutani building, a photo of a xenomorph model, and much more. See all the Neill Blomkamp Alien material after the jump.
The Neill BlomkampAlienphotoswere accompanied by tweets from an unverified account.
Ps this has nothing to do with the studio. I just feel like I might do something else instead. In which case why not show some work-

They didn’t really even know I was working on it ha
Blomkamp doesn’t say what theAlienproject was, so it’s possible it wasn’t a movie but a video game or comic book or something else entirely. (He did spend time working with Sigourney Weaver, onChappie, so perhaps they had conversations that led to these designs.)
Whatever it is, he doesn’t seem to be working on it anymore. It’s too bad — just think of all the fun Blomkamp could have had stomping around in this world.
While theAlienproject — whatever it was — is kaput, Blomkamp does have a different movie opening this year. HisChappie, about a robot who gains sentience, opensMarch 6.
