Blomkamp recently spoke about the actress Weaver and her return for the role of Ripley. He said, "[Sigourney] knows about it and part of it was just inspired by speaking to her on set when we were filming 'Chappie,' and getting her thoughts on 'Alien' and what she thought of the movies that came after 'Aliens' and what she felt about Ripley and what was incomplete for her about Ripley. There was so much fuel in what she was telling me."
However, there has yet to be more news on the upcoming film. It was reported that Ridley Scott will be the one directing the prequel movie for the "Alien" franchise. The prequel will be called "Alien Paradise Lost." Ridley Scott was recently involved in the film "The Martian," which was released last month.
"Alien 5" and "Alien Paradise Lost" have yet to receive a release date.
