    At this point I'd settle for a graphic novel of Niel Blookamps version of the film he's had in mind. Using the talented artist of the image's shown with story and details would be a great experience for the masses.

      If that really was the idea, it may be a good thing it never saw the light of day - but it sounds quite plausible because that would be a way to make the story look a little like District 9: and movies that end up looking like different variations of District 9 are all Blomkamp seems interested in making.

      Even if, let’s say, the direction, the acting and the effects were good, what concept in this suggests that the writing would be good? Because it seems like the most generic idea for an Alien film: evil company does things, things go wrong, hero has to save the day, the end. Without mentioning silly stuff like the xenomorph suit, there’s very little that makes this a promising film, even less if you consider how heavy of a weight it would be carrying by having Ripley and Hicks back into the series, feels like it would be another The Force Awakens.

      I think they were going for more of a "hopeless" vibe in Alien 3 and having both Hicks and especially Newt (a child the saving of whom was a major driving force of Aliens) and even Bishop who Ripley has to euthanize to stop his suffering lays the foundation for that. I believe it was also intended at the time that Alien 3 was going to be the final movie in the franchise, but obviously it's a very lucrative one so they found a way of working around Ripley having been disintegrated in the foundry at the end of 3.
      I remember having a grudging respect for the movie, but feeling emotionally wiped after seeing it the first time. So I certainly wouldn't have minded a retrenching of the story arc with this movie.

    From a variety of Ridley interviews from the start of Prometheus announcement onwards, it’s clear that he (no doubt with the help of Damon Lindelof) had done a fair bit of revisionism and now considered Alien and Blade Runner universes one and the same.
    From that point onwards anything made from either franchise would need to be based on that premise. You can see how Prometheus, Covenant, BR 2049 and all the subsequent potential sequels/prequels/spin-offs Scott has discussed since come from that specific Ridley concept. Hence no room for Blomkamp’s particular take on the story and characters.
    Much as I love Ridley’s early films, I do think what he’s doing with this IP is cynical, possibly egocentric, definitely stubborn, and probably financially motivated - the cinematic equivalent of “no one but me can play with my toys in my sandbox, unless you play my game.”
    The man’s well into his 80s now - there’s no way we’re getting another “endorsed” film from either franchise in his lifetime. Luckily, Blomkamp is only early 40s, so we might yet see his version, albeit with some Ripley digital de-aging. Depends if Scott’s kids have a say in it, as Ridley loves a nice bit of nepotism.

    To build off your idea that the drones wouldn't be able to tell the difference, maybe the xenomorph biomech suit was a way for the workers/scientists to work within an artificial hive to harvest that weird substance and whatever else they needed.

      Egos in Hollyweird are why Blomkamp will be lucky if he gets a chance to enter a feature length "Capture Fluke" at the Sundance Film Fest. If Directors like R. Scott have anything to say about Blomkamp then he won't make one red cent in Highlywild. He makes the rest look like slackers, and most of them are pretty decent to damn good, and Blomkamp still blows them away. In that So Cal-ish industry, talent and youth get squashed with haste.

    To be honest, after seeing these artworks and the story they imply, im happy that this project did not came to be. Its seems the story is not that much different from the abysmal Alien 4 and its own far-fetched plot. As to James Cameron´s comment..., he also considered Terminator Dark Fate´s story to be "brilliant" and gave it his blessing........ And that movie may not be as abysmal as Terminator 3 or Genysis.....but i think its clear that Cameron was more flattering than being truly objective there aswell.

      Yeah, feels like Blomkamp just took Gibson script and made a few changes to have Ripley in the main spotlight. People don’t seem to get that making this movie just for the sake of bringing back classic characters wouldn’t make it a good film. There’s almost no horror implications coming off of this story, and none that we haven’t seen before at any platform, from games to comics. What made the first 3 Alien movies a big deal is that each one introduced a new concept, people didn’t know what the Alien was in the first, people didn’t know how the Alien was born in the second and people didn’t know why the Alien was so dangerous in the third. This doesn’t seem to have anything to bring to the table except the obvious “why evil corporations shouldn’t get what they want”.
