Over at UPROXX, Neill Blomkamp gave an interview where he discussed “Gran Turismo,” but when the topic of ‘Alien’ came into the conversation Blomkamp wanted to hear none if it.
It’s hard to define how little I care about what happens with ‘Alien
The interview abruptly ended after that. If you remember, Blomkamp came very close to shooting his “Alien” sequel nearly a decade ago. There even was concept art shown to the public. People were very excited to see what he’d come up with, and this was just a few years after the filmmaker wowed critics and audiences with “District 9.”
However, the ‘Alien’ film completely fell apart, much like Blomkamp’s attempts at reviving “RoboCop” and “Halo.” Now, years later, the filmmaker will clearly shrug off any questions about it.
It’s been a tough road for Blomkamp ever since his “District 9” breakout. His ensuing films, “Elysium,” “Chappie,” “Demonic” and “Gran Turismo” all received mixed reviews from critics. Although, there are definitely some major “Chappie” fans out there, I’ve met plenty of them. They exist.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
