Neill Blomkamp No Longer Working On Alien 5

Neil Blomkamp, who had been working on a direct sequel to James Cameron’s Aliens which came out in 1986, has lost his passion regarding the film and is backing out of moving forward with it.

During an interview with JoBlo, Blokamp elaborated on his current thinking and the decision step away from the project.

“Yeah, I mean, I wish I could share more, but obviously Fox owns it” Blokamp explained.

“It’s just an unfortunate thing. I speak to Sigourney [Weaver] about it sometimes. At this point, it’s kinda like the fire that was burning within me to make that is gone. Stepping outside of even the legal kind of studio-based politics I just feel like its time has come and gone.

So, yeah…I think no. And I say that really reluctantly, because I cannot state how much of a fan of Sigourney I am and how much of a fan I am of Alien and Aliens and the idea of doing a sequel to James Cameron’s film is amazing on all levels. But, there’s a point at which when you’re years into it you have to move on. So, I think that has happened to me.”

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like ‘Alien 5’ is happening anytime soon, if at all.
