I think an even better idea than Blomkamp's film (unless his story is better which I don't really know), would be adapt the best parts of Mark Verheiden's original Aliens comics in an epic film, featuring Ripley, Hicks and Newt, leading up to an all out Alien infestation on earth, and subsequent nuclear holocaust.
Subsequently, a Netflix series could be made about living on earth in the future under that infestation. It should feel like a zombie film a little, in that people are living in small tribes, and always in fear of the Aliens. In the background, there would be orchestrated military machinations happening on space ships and space stations (Luna?) as plans are laid out to retake earth. General Hicks would be running that of course. That could be a dynamite series!
