District 9 Part 2 possible hits !

While speaking to The Verge, director Neill Blomkamp revealed that he is planning to make another film set in the same world as his directorial debut “District 9”! When asked if he would make any films connected to his previous work, Blomkamp said the following: “With District 9, I plan on making another film in that world. To go back and work with WETA, and make the film would be cool, but anything that pre-exists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we’re trying here.” Later, Blomkamp gave an update on his proposed “Alien 5” - saying: “I think it’s totally dead, yes. That would be an accurate assumption at this point. It’s sad. I spent a long time working on that, and I feel like it was really pretty awesome. But politically, the way it’s gone now, and the way that it all is — it’s just not going to live. Ridley [Scott] was one of my idols growing up. He’s so talented and he’s made this film that really set me off in a direction. I want to just be as respectful and not go stamping around in this world that he created. I think that if the circumstances were different, and I didn’t feel like I was getting too close to something that he obviously feels a massive personal connection to, that things that may have played out differently. But I did want to be as respectful as possible.” What do you think of Neil Blomkamp’s “Alien 5” being officially dead? Are you looking forward to another film set in the “District 9” universe?
