District 9 and Elysium director Neill Blomkamp revealed concept art for a new Alien sequel he was working on for shit and giggles. Blomkamp describes the images as “a mental stroll into the world Ridley Scott created” on his Instagram, but those hankering for a proper Alien movie are besides themselves.

Blomkamp writes on Instagram:

Was working on this. Don’t think I am anymore. Love it though. Woulda rocked. This has nothing to do with the studio. I just feel like I might do something else instead. In which case why not show some work. They didn’t really even know I was working on it.

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was a fine sci-fi film, but a major boner-killer for fans of the Alien franchise expecting an equal amount of thrills and mythology. The concept art Blomkamp was working on suggests something that could be far more exciting and epic… and sees the return of Ellen Ripley and Corporal Hicks.
