Interesting. Could just be the author's supposition from having done some Internet research without consulting her. No relevant supporting quotes.

I'd love to see Blomkamp make an 'ALIENS' movie; but it would have to be a significant departure from the current proposal.
Nobody knows what the proposal even involves. There haven't been any verified leaks, outside of Weaver mentioning she felt the way which it initially brings back Ripley/Hicks was somehow innovative.
So long as the end result is fun and entertaining, I'm willing to give it a chance. Certainly, Blomkamp's been the only potential helmer of an '
Alien' film, in a very long time, to reinforce how important returning Giger's psychosexuality is to the series, instead of just wanting them to stomp around and eat folks for cheap, predictable scares. That and the fact he's said he'd be actively aiming to present it in the visual style of '
Alien Isolation', makes me very interested to see what he could deliver.
Could be crap, like any project could, but still definitely has potential.
