Though Neill Blomkamp has moved on from his Alien 5 project, it would seem James Cameron is not quite ready to let it go! While on the red carpet of Alita: Battle Angel, IGN (via The Terminator Fans) had the chance to ask James Cameron (who produced Alita along with Predators’ Robert Rodriguez) about the upcoming Terminator 6 and Blomkamp’s Alien 5.
IGN: “After Tim takes care of that can you give Neill Blomkamp a call about Aliens please?”
James Cameron: “I’m working on that, yeah.”
Sir Ridley Scott was actually attached to produce Alien 5 with Blomkamp, but Cameron had seen Blomkamp’s script and described it as “gangbusters.” Though far from any form of confirmation, it sounds like Cameron may be stepping up to bat for Blomkamp’s Alien 5 after the project fell apart in 2017.

But Sean Pertwee is expensive, man - what's he to do!
Need to see that again. Wasn't completely satisfied by it when I saw it, but I enjoyed it overall and it had some very interesting ideas. Think it's one of those films that benefits from repeat viewings.
It is.
Excellent Directors, all appropriate.
It would for sure...

It would take the series in exciting new directions...
Watched like 2 minutes of one of his movies once. Was just a bunch of weirdness. Never had a desire to see more. Heard nothing but bad things about his work
With the Xenomorph inexplicably falling in love with the obligatroy self-insert character?
I want David Twohy (Pitch Black, Riddick) or Peter Hyams (Outland, 2010, The Relic).
That's a pretty comprehensive list.
Oh god
Don't be gross.
Or...

Yah, mostly I agree. Mostly.
I am not digging Ripley on the Alien costume.
I like both of these options but I'm very willing to give Neill Blomkamp a chance just for that concept art and Aliens 2 idea.
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Directed By: Denis Villeneuve
I hope he directs an entry someday. Would love for James Cameron to get behind the camera one more time too.
Does he have the juice?
I think thats the one with Hugh Jackman.
Das it.
Enemy has Gyllenhaal as well.
If we ever get to see another alien film in the spirit and quality of the original , it will be because he was involved.

Villenueve is a master.
Agreed. He's a director I'd love to see make an Alien film.

Enemy was brilliant.
It sounds like having a great deal of dismay at not being able to do a poo.
I actually enjoyed Enemy more than his other movies. Maybe I'm weird, but I thought Enemy was almost a perfect movie. Almost. Arrival kind of lost the logic at the end but was otherwise pretty good too. The direction was phenomenal either way.
"Consternation" is the most common form of the word in English, but all of its other variants are totally real.
