Check out the following concept art for an Alien movie that Neill Blomkamp was developing.
Blomkamp posted the images on Instagram with mention this was just a side project of his and nothing to do with any movie studio.
It’s possible Blomkamp, the director behind District 9, Elysium and the upcoming Chappie film, may have intended to use the art as a pitch to Fox for a new Alien flick.
Updated: with two more pieces of art. In addition, Blomkamp makes note that maybe he will go back to it.
Plans are underway for a third Ghostbusters film, which will feature an all-female team as well as be a reboot directed by Paul Feig.
Feig previously stated he was open to having the original cast return, but in new roles for the film.
Well, the cast of the original Ghostbusters appeared on the Today Show to promote the new GhostbustersBlu-Ray that is now available, with Al Roker bringing up Ghostbusters 3.
Roker directly asks Bill Murray, “When is there going to be a Ghostbusters 3?”
Murray responds by stating it’s hard to recreate the magic, but hears there will be a female cast.
“It’s really hard to recreate something that was so beautiful. So wonderful,” Murray said. “The studio would like to make a movie and continue the franchise. I hear there is going to be one that is all women.”
“Ghost babes,” Sigourney Weaver interjected.
“Ghost babes. Something like that,” Bill Murray stated.
“Ghostbuster babes,” Weaver added.
Roker then suggested Sigourney Weaver could still be in it with her reaction less than enthusiastic as she rolls her eyes.
Murray then suggested Ernie Hudson could also have a roll, with the cast laughing and Hudson saying, “Go for it. I’m an actor.”

Fox has released the trailer for Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods And Kings, which stars Christian Bale as Moses, Joel Edgerton as Rhamses and Sigourney Weaver as Tuya.
Exodus has a December 12, 2014 release also starring Aaron Paul, Indira Varma, Ben Kingsley, John Turturro and María Valverde.
Synopsis:
From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes the epic adventure “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” the story of one man’s daring courage to take on the might of an empire. Using state-of-the-art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.
While Ridley Scott has been moving backwards with the Prometheus movies (part 2 is in the works), Sigourney Weaver talks about the future of the franchise.
Sigourney Weaver was recently honored at the Hero Complex Film Festival where she discussed the possibility of another Alien movie.
Among other things, she mentions she didn’t want to film two Alien movies back-to-back, and she also says she wasn’t thrilled with the idea of bringing the Aliens to Earth, which is where she suspected it was heading to, and of which Joss Whedon wrote the script for.
I feel after going to a couple of these Comic Cons and meeting so many fans who are so passionate about the series, passionate about Ripley — that there’s more story to tell; but I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think Alien belongs on Earth popping out of a haystack, which is where I was afraid it was going to go. I feel it should take place in the far reaches of the universe where no one in their right mind would go. There are very few filmmakers that I can think of that I would want to entrust this to. But I can think of a couple… I feel there’s a longing in certain groups of fans when I meet them for the story to be finished because we really left it up in the air and I feel a bit badly about that because I was part of that decision making process. I didn’t want to make four and five in a bundle. I think it’s hard to make these films all in a big lump. You need time to sort of let things resonate so I can imagine a situation where we could at least finish telling her story. I think that would be very satisfying at least to me — although I haven’t done anything about it; but I can understand why that could happen and I certainly know young filmmakers who are interested in doing that. So we’ll just have to see what happens.
Out in theaters domestically last week was the spy thriller, The Cold Light of Day, starring new Superman, Henry Cavill, as well as Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver.
While the movie didn’t do all that well at the box office, I hear that at least Henry Cavill’s performance was top notch, so blame the script.
We have almost a year until the Man of Steel debuts, with fans feverishly anticipating new images and video, but while we wait, the Henry Cavill Fan Facebook Page has a new image of Henry Cavill wearing shades.
Stay tuned to Cosmic Book News as more on the Man Of Steel develops.
