Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 06, 2020, 07:58:41 AMFrom Blomkamp's comments it would seem to because of Scott's involvement. My own guess is that a big reason would be Fox felt uncomfortable bankrolling 2 Alien films at once.

My own guess is that a big reason would be Fox felt uncomfortable bankrolling 2 Alien films at once.For what its it's worth, there was at least some limited degree of communication between the two parties. Scott was aware of what Blomkamp was doing, and only asked Blomkamp to change one thing because it would have contradicted what his story was doing.
Quote"They seemed really into it and Ridley came on as producer and then it just unraveled."---------"It's very difficult to speak about on several levels because Ridley created Alien. It was something that inspired me deeply. I got into film because of it. Everything that happened with my script and with the way the film collapsed – it's hard to talk about it without it seeming like I'm bashing him which is like one of my idols to get into film. It's a super strange psychological place but films go down in Hollywood all the time. That's just essentially, I think, what happened and it sucks for me...It's not that it sucks for Sigourney, it's not going to make any difference to her, but I think she really did like the story because it allowed Ripley to...it really felt like a cool third film."
