As they say in the Alien films, “In space, no one can hear you scream.” But we’re screaming on the inside right now, because it looks like director Neill Blomkamp’s highly anticipated take on Alien 5 is never going to happen. And that’s the latest word coming from the original Alien director, Ridley Scott.

While speaking with the French site Allocine in support of the upcoming prequel, Alien: Covenant, Scott seemed to indicate that Blomkamp’s Alien 5 never made it very far into development before Scott’s plans came to the forefront of the franchise. AVP Galaxy posted an English translation of Scott’s remarks, which attributed these quotes to the director: “I think [Blomkamp’s film] will never see the light… There was never a scenario, just an idea that evolved into a pitch of ten pages. I had to participate as a producer but it did not go any further because [20th Century] Fox decided that [they] did not want to do it. I had already done Prometheus and worked on Covenant.”
