While Ridley Scott was expanding the universe “Alien“controversial films”Prometheus“and”Alien: Covenant“, director of fantastic action films”District 9“and”A robot named Chappy” Neil Blomkamp hatched the idea of creating a direct sequel “Strangers” James Cameron… However, his plans were not destined to come true, since the film company 20th Century Fox decided to entrust the development of the franchise to the director of the original tape.
However, thanks to the published French artist Geoffroy Thorens concept art, we can at least take a look at what could have awaited us in Blomkamp’s failed painting.
As seen in the images, in the fifth installment of the cult horror franchise, fans would have expected the return of Ellen Ripley, performed by Sigourney Weaver and unceremoniously murdered between the second and third films of Corporal Hicks, played Michael Bean… Also, concept art allows you to look at a group of heavily armed mercenaries, an android and, of course, the Aliens themselves.
Recall that at the moment the company Disney, 20th Century Studios and Hulu are developing a series in the “Aliens” universe, the showrunner of which is Noah Hawley, known for his work on TV series “Fargo“and”Legion“.
