It's quite obvious.  Alien/Blade Runner shared universe.

I'm not sure its as obvious as all that, but I'm pretty convinced its not just a random quote - he's a bit of a master at making the internet "lose its mind."

[SM]

Now he just has to quote "Just something from a film I like" and launch a thousand conspiracies.

[whiterabbit]

Why does anyone even care what he has to say anyway? I don't bother with twitter or him but last I understand it, he hasn't anything to do with alien now.

[Ingwar]

Dude quotes a film he likes and the Internet loses its mind.

I don't think that we lost our minds. If I'm not mistaken Neil hasn't quoted anything from BR before. It might be random and then it means nothing at all. But It also might be a message. We don't know. That's all.

[SiL]

This is almost embarrassing.

[Corporal Hicks]

Scified seriously asked if that was an Alien reference?

I'm surprised they haven't already ran a story on it and posted it everywhere.

I get why people care.  He was touted to make an Alien flick.

But there's caring and there's caring...

A quote from Blade Runner masking a hidden message to his true believers. It tells them to stay strong for his alien film cometh.

  j/k

He should tweet a quote from Dune just to see what people come up with.

This is almost embarrassing.

Almost as embarrassing as thinking there is a sequel to Blade Runner 2049 when that movie is still deep in post production...

Using a Blade Runner quote to hint at the continued existence of Alien 5 makes sense in Blade Runner was directed by Ridley Scott and as we all know, Ridley Scott is an Executive Producer on Alien 5.  Maybe some kind of agreement or compromise has been reached with Ridley and this is Blomkamp's way of hinting that has occurred.

Those movie do not share the same universe.

[Local Trouble]

He should tweet "X" in the Star Wars font.

There are things that point to them being a shared universe.  SM, your knowledge is needed here.  I would explain but I am on my phone on my way to work.  Citing sources would be difficult to accomplish.

SM is not needed here. He's not an oracle. Both movies do not share the same universe. Period.

Blade Runner Easter Egg in Prometheus doesn't count. It was made just for fun.



Besides, how movie based upon Philip K. Dick novel has anything to do with Alien universe and vice versa? I cannot see any connections.

[Russ]

As above, but the writer admitted he was just having a laugh with it. Still - I've seen more tenuous links than that get some credence
