Are there any infos about the budget and the rating yet? Plus or minus 100 mio? PG13 or R?

No word but given Blomkamp's track record I'd be very surprised if it wasn't rated R.

I'd estimate that the budget would be between $110 million to $130 million. Unlikely that an R-rated movie would get more than that.

QuoteDistrict 9 and Elysium helmer Neill Blomkamp made headlines last month when he posted a series of concept art designs for a new film in the 20th Century Fox's Alien franchise. Although the filmmaker admitted that the designs were unofficial, he hinted that he'd be more than happy to take on such a project. Today, Blomkamp posted a new image with a message that should make Alien franchise fans pretty happy!

"So I think it's officially my next film," he writes!

At this point it's uncertain precisely what route the new film will take or if Signourney Weaver (whose Ellen Ripley was featured in the concept designs) will be returning to the franchise.

"[Sigourney] knows about it," Blomkamp told ComingSoon.net last week, "and part of it was just inspired by speaking to her on set when we were filming 'Chappie,' and getting her thoughts on 'Alien' and what she thought of the movies that came after 'Aliens' and what she felt about Ripley and what was incomplete for her about Ripley. There was so much fuel in what she was telling me."

You can read more about Blomkamp's thoughts on the new project right here and check back for further information as soon as it becomes available!

Blomkamp's latest, Chappie, also stars Weaver and lands in theaters March 6!

UPDATE: Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN movie will take place AFTER the events of PROMETHEUS 2. Ridley Scott is producing BOTH

Prometheus Sequel is STILL happening.
Not really 20 century fox has not confirmed it so if they don't confirm it, it will not happen.

DoomRulz

Deductive reasoning tells us otherwise. If it is indeed taking place after Prommy 2, and Alien V is greenlit which we know it is, that means Prommy 2 is happening.

Blomkamp was forced to change one aspect of the script because it interferred with Prometurd 2. So yeah.

Cool, far more stoked for Prom 2 than Alien 5.

HuDaFuK

Honestly, I'm really more interested in Shane Black's Predator movie right now.

Corporal Hicks

It's a bit of a polarized position at the minute. It's quite interesting. Can't wait to see more details on all projects.

DoomRulz

I'm optimistic. Then again, I seem to be one of the few who liked Prometheus.

Just part of the silent majority in fact.

Prometheus is one of the best sci-fi films of all time.  Seriously.  Which film asks the questions it did?  OT, I know...

It looks like one of the best sci-fi films of all time. It aspires to be one of the best sci-fi films of all time. I can see where some would say it's up there. It's damn great, but comes up short in the follow through.

I wish they had been granted the budget for that 3rd act so we didn't have to sit through a stretched out 2nd that just sort of ends with a conclusion that feels like it was invented by a couple guys over pizza who just had to come up with something.

It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on
