I wonder if this is something Weaver and him were attempting to throw together after collaborating on Chappie.

I really hope they can pull it off.

I'd watch this a hundred times in a heartbeat if they nailed it. Blomkamp can make a great film (great looking, great action) if he's got a good script, and Weaver... she's fucking Sigourney Weaver.

 

[neptunes]

It's just concept art guys, the artist probably used Ripley as a reference. It could have been anyone

sounds ultra likely actually

 

[FStop7]

I would really like to have seen a Blomkamp Alien film. We've gotten to see Ridley, Cameron, Fincher, and Jeunet. For better or worse.

 

[The Power Of Snap]

the alien series DESPERATELY needs to let go of the ripley character. i mean, christ.

 

[Dalek]

Oh man. How did i not know anything about this?

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Those little Master Chief helmets made me annoyed yet again that the Jackson-produced/Bomkamp-directed Halo film never ended up happening. All those props Weta created for those ODST shorts Blomkamp did were amazing.

All of those live action shorts from the Halo 3 marketing campaign were fucking god-tier.

 

[Violet_0]

He had me until

WAT.

 

[Gleethor]

After playing Isolation, I need more Alien.

 

[strobogo]

After playing Isolation, I need more Alien.

I'm sure you could play Euro Door Opener Simulator 2 and get your fill.

 

[Xiaoki]

..... I'm glad they canned it if this is where it was going

Where were they going with it? Hard to tell what they were going to do based off one image with little context.

Also, whatever direction they did take would most likely be a step in the right direction for the Alien franchise.

Definitely would have been better than Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, AVP, AVP Requiem and Prometheus.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Wtf? I know it's concept art but weird using those characters. Hicks is dead, and so is Ripley. Guess they never let that get in the way of some potential $$, though.

Clones, baby.

 

[Technosteve]

Halo

 

[Akahige]

Ripley again, I'll pass

I dunno man but seeing Sigourney Weaver back....

Is that Michael Biehn???

!!! Alright I would have watched.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Clones, baby.

That old chestnut

 

[Chance Hale]

Clones, baby.

The sassy clone from Resurrection is still alive, please bring her back <3

 

[BLACKLAC]

Terrible.

 

[How About No]

I dunno man but seeing Sigourney Weaver back....

Is that Michael Biehn???

That sure is. Tho now I mostly associate him with Rex Power Colt after Blood Dragon.

Now, as much as I'd love to see this reunion, it would likely be a huge disappointment and ruin the Alien franchise again forever. Again.

Spoiler

Again.

 

[kingocfs]

It wasn't that bad.

It kinda was.

 

[watershed]

Old Ripley and mutant Hicks make this movie seem laughable. Xenosuit Ripley even more so.

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Clones, baby.

The movie timeline would be after Aliens and not after Prometheus then...

Or maybe Hicks was an android! Twist time!

 

[zma1013]

Wtf? I know it's concept art but weird using those characters. Hicks is dead, and so is Ripley. Guess they never let that get in the way of some potential $$, though.

In the future, they send back clone-Ripley to save Ripley and Hicks and now Hicks does all the things Ripley did and Ripley does all the things Hicks did and see it's funny because they are saying and doing each other's stuff and it's clever because it's like, "Remember this scene from your favorite movie? Well it's here too only now it's different, but still similar but we just played musical chairs with the actors and their roles. Oh, and the whole timeline is changed so now we can do whatever we want blah blah blah." Hollywood give me a job.

That's "Acid Scarred Hicks" to you.

 

[ezekial45]

Looks awesome. The Xeno suit looks a bit dorky, but I dig the concept.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Checked out at Blomkamp.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I'm just trying to process this still.

Seems like it would have been a sequel to Aliens and Prometheus, and would retcon Alien 3 and Resurrection out of existence.

Yeah, I want to see this movie. I really want another good Alien movie.

 

[How About No]

Of course if they totally ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection I wouldn't even be mad...

 

[Drifters]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU7UUUUUUUU


Dammit why can't we have nice things?

 

[Choomp]

Wow what this would've been cool. I mean Blomkamp certainly has his limits but his normal aesthetic is usually pretty nice, I would've liked to have seen something with Alien

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Checked out at Blomkamp.

But Hicks...

 

[Elitist1945]

WHAT. This looks fucking awesome!

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Yeah not feeling that Ripley/Xeno hybrid.

That's sounds like something that would of came from Alien Resurrection.

 

[watershed]

I wonder if someone else is still making this movie or if it was scrapped all together.

 

[Rydeen]

If this retconned Alien 3 and Resurrection as these concept pieces seem to hint at, I'd be okay with it. Looks like a lot of ideas from William Gibson's abandoned Alien 3 treatment.

 

[Gleethor]

Ya'll forget that Alien 3 (DC) is secretly the best Alien film.

Fincher is not-so-secretly more talented than Ridley or Cameron too

 

[Akahige]

Yeah not feeling that Ripley/Xeno hybrid.

That's sounds like something that would of came from Alien Resurrection.

It's a helmet, I thought the same thing when scrolling down that she breed into a Alien.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

These pictures give me the game sequel feeling. More of what they loved last time, but bigger, not much attempt to risk it with weird outside elements.

 

[Askherserenity]

What!? Aw man. Not sure how to feel. Concept art looks great though.

 

[ezekial45]

I suppose if this movie was in the works, than Fox might be reconsidering the follow up to Prometheus?

 

[raindoc]

"Even lift, do you?"

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Seeing headquarters in every pics... Looks like the whole movie would have been there? lol

 

[pants]

"Even lift, do you?"

"You're right, I can smell the garlic"

 

[Toa TAK]

Even if it did turn out to be trash like Prometheus, I'm still really interested in seeing where this could've gone.

 

[Tookay]

It's just concept art guys, the artist probably used Ripley as a reference. It could have been anyone

Seeing how this series has leaned on Ripley like a crutch for four films, I doubt it.

 

[Heretic]

Master Chief!?

 

[KissVibes]

Woo Boy, Aliens sure did ruin a great film.

 

[Jarmel]

I never knew I wanted this until just now*

*assuming he wasn't doing the scripts

 

[How About No]

Kinda reminds of that one Alien 3 script that was pretty much Hicks and Bishop being bros on an alien-infested space station. Just a little.

 

[Sub_Level]

Looks like they got the derelict ship and created a sort of rainforest reserve for the creature.

Ripley and cyborg Hicks then hatch a plan to blow everything up, with Ripley eventually needing to pilot the ship at some point.

Sounds fun. Shame it was canned.
