Neill Blomkamp has spoken about his Alien movie that never made it to the screen –and he thinks 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chappie might have something to with it. 

In 2015, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:District 9 filmmaker was announced to be directing a new Alien movie starring Sigourney Weaver. However, production on the movie n෴ever went ahead as it was put on hold and then canceled in favor of ꦆanother prequel – which was also later canceled.

Chappie, released in 2015, was Blomkamp's third feature film. It follꦰows an AI law enforcement robot (voiced by District 9 star Sharlto Copley) who's captured 🦋by gangsters.

"There’s no coming back from that," he added when asked about a potential future working relationship with Scott. "I’m not gonna work on a film for two🧜 years and have the rug pulled out from underneath me and then go hang out and have beers. It’s exactly why I don’t want to do IP based on other people’s stuff ever again."

Blomkamp's most recent project is the newly released Demonic, a sci-fi horror flick that follows a young woman who's been estranged from her mother. However, when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between the mother and daughter are revealed, terrifying demons are unleashed. He also has a hotly anticipated sequel to District 9 in the w🧸orks.
