About the Movie “Alien 5”
The plot of the movie? How much money has Neill made off of his earlier films so far this year, as compared with how much he’d probably have been able to make if Disney hadn’t bought 20th Century Fox and canceled all of their plans for future franchise installments that weren’t tied into existing intellectual properties already owned by Marvel Comics or Disney itself.

What aspects of his new film make it a good horror flick for adults who still enjoy watching sci-fi/horror shows or movies; meant for kids ages 17+ based on their level of maturity; when they watch these types of things? with friends or family members.
“Alien 5” Renewal Status Updates
As per the director, the movie is completely dead, as in off the filming process. Therefore, it is unlikely to be ever made.
The main reason being, Sigourney Weaver wanted his movie to shoot and be released first, namely “Prometheus 2”. Hence, once this movie is released, there are chances of Alien 5.
“Alien 5” Release Date Predictions
As per the director, it seems that after extensive talks with Sigourney Weaver, his movie will never be released. Once this news was out in the open, there were rumors of the Prometheus sequel, which would bring about its release. However, as said by Neill himself – The alien saga has taken a backseat and might not come up for some time now.
Sigourney’s role in Prometheus proved to be very crucial, according to Neill, who felt that her character deserved respect; hence he dropped the idea of including Ripley again into an active battle against aliens on earth or any other planet altogether!
Since there are no plans for making another film following Ridley Scott’s prequel, Neill Blomkamp’s work on Alien – Xeno has been completely scrapped.
Neill was looking forward to the second part of his “Alien” saga, from a script that he had written by himself and even went ahead; with casting some big names, such as Sigourney Weaver herself! However, this movie never saw the light of day because it seemed that Fox wasn’t interested in making another film, or at least not anytime soon again, since Prometheus did bad business but good enough for them to reconsider; going through with Neill’s project.
Howsoever, the point being we do not have a release date for the movie.
“Alien 5” Potential Plot Details and Storyline
Neill Blomkamp said he had written a script for “Alien,” and Neill stated that the story is set after the events of James Cameron’s classic sequel, Aliens.
It would have been great to see Neill working on this project, but it seems like Fox wasn’t interested in making another movie in this franchise just yet, or at least not anytime soon since “Prometheus” did bad business numbers.
What we do know about Neill’s idea was that Sigourney Weaver would come back as Ripley, and Michael Biehn (who played Hicks in ‘Aliens’) might reprise his role, which means we could meet Newt again! However, where does Neill want to take us with his storyline?
