Alien 5, oh Alien 5….how I wish that you were alive. Bringing thrills and bringing fun, showing Ridley how it’s done. Sigourney Weaver back again, Newt a living next of kin. How I wish this art was real, Covenant had no appeal. Director Neill Blomkamp never got to make his proposed Alien 5 movie, mainly due to Ridley Scott’s current stranglehold on the property. He released drawings online of a Weyland-Yutani warehouse, a grown-up Newt, and Ellen Ripley in some kind of bio-organic weaponized Alien suit. The story told itself and sounded amazing. But while he did attract the attention of Fox for a while, the movie just couldn’t happen. Blomkamp had to dump some of his ideas in a series of short films he released earlier this year, one starring Sigourney.

Wonder how it would have played in the movie plot.

According to sketches the movie would have also brought back Colonel Hicks and a grown-up Newt, thereby retconning their deaths between Aliens and Alien 3. But according to Scott, sketches of Alien 5 are all that exist. Keep in mind since he isn’t personally responsible for this project like he is with his own Alien movies, he doesn’t know everything about it. But his statements sure aren’t optimistic. “I think [the project] will never see the light [of day],” he told the French website Allocine. “There was never a scenario, just an idea that evolved into a pitch of ten pages. I
