District 9 director Neill Blomkamp allegedly took to Twitter just a few hours ago and posted some astonishing photos, pictures that show he was working on an unauthorized Alien film! The photos show beautifully drawn/illustrated images that show an older Ripley as well as the return of Corporal Hicks, who was played by Michael Biehn in Aliens. Also present is an Alien Queen, Weyland Yutani headquarters, and the original Engineer ship from Planet LV-426 encased in a gigantic warehouse!
There is a gallery of images below as well as the tweets from Blomkamp, although it should be noted that this twitter account is NOT verified.
“Ps this has nothing to do with the studio. I just feel like I might do something else instead. In which case why not show some work,” said the account. “They didn’t really even know I was working on it ha.”
It should be noted that fan craze can help campaign a film – just see Deadpool over at FOX. If this truly is Blomkamp’s account, well, hype can only help.
Blomkamp’s next film is Chappie, a film about a robot that gains its own intelligence and emotions. It will be released March 6th.
