Neill Blomkamp revealed through a couple of tweets that he was working on an Alien film.

He is no longer working on it, and if the concept art is to be believed, it was to star Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn.

While he makes it clear that he is no longer attached, he doesn't say the project is dead - just that his involvement is over.

Being an absolutely rabid fan of the franchise, I am both excited to see further instalments and disappointed to see him leave (my guess is still that he will be joining the upcoming Star Wars flicks).

Thoughts? Anyone you would like to see take over for Blomkamp?
