Blomkamp did himself no favours with the concept art he released: Hicks in marine armor, a queen fighting marines, a pulse rifle. It was fan fiction stuff and a retread of Aliens. Ripley's alien suit was something straight out of the Hasbro toys.

Yeah, I dunno how representative it was (hopefully not at all), but that Ripley suit was really cringey.

Blomkamp had some nice ideas but that doesn't make a good movie. Looking at his past movies I'd say he's not the right guy to direct an Alien movie, especially since he probably would've put in some apartheid bullshit and Die Antwoord.

I re-watched Elysium last night and it made me realise that I badly want Blomkamp to direct an Alien movie, but only if someone else writes the script.

Completely predictable and Sharlto Copley does not work as an antagonist.
- But beyond my personal taste, the box office of "Elysium" when compared with its production budget, will be about the same as where "Covenant" will end up after Japan.
- Why would Fox choose a director who is not going to do better than Scott?
As for A5 bringing back Hicks and Newt, imo they are dead.
Unless the Alien franchise has time travel and a multiverse like Star Trek (which it doesn't), then I'm not going to buy into the completely different sequel timeline of A5.
