Are we taking bets that it's in South Africa?

It'll probably have a name as well.
Seriously, this is highly intriguing.

I'm excited but not expecting a masterpiece. Just an Aliens movie with more action and better cinematography than Prometheus seems like a reasonable expectation.
It can't do no worse than Snoozetheus.
good one.But seriously, re-read the title. It's Neill Blomkamp's film. NEILL. BLOMKAMP's.

District 9 was great and Eylisium's cinematography wasn't the problem so much as Fatt Damon.
Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards. (and Weaver and Biehn to sign up)
Brometheus may be a terrible film, but the cinematography is awesome (minus the usual modern color filters).
Skott's a master of technical stuff, his movies always has great visuals.
Now Blomkamp... What was perfect for D9 turned painfully annoying and tasteless for something as hollywoodie and dumb as Eylisium. If this is what he's gonna do with ALIENS then I'm can't expect it to be a good looking movie.
The artwork is what has me excited for this.
It feels very expanded universe. Much like how the comics and the early video games (not the newer s****y ones) took the aesthetic of the films, but then went into different directions and environments with it. Bring it on.

Variety picked up the story. They say it will be set "years after the Prometheus sequel." Still more reference to it being a continuation of the prequels instead of ALIENS. Hmmm.

What the ****. Did they manage to miss all the art work showing Ripley and Hicks which was the very raison-d'etre for most people caring about this whole damn thing?
And if they have dropped that whole concept then ''what the hell are we talkin' about this forrrrr'', why get us excited about one thing but greenlight something else entirely.
Did Fox think that his artwork conveyed the right "mood" but then commissioned him to follow up on Scott's work instead? Man I hope not. Hopefully we hear something from Sigourney or Biehn soon.
Well, that makes sense. If the Prometheus films are indirect prequels, then of course something with actual Xenomorphs will take place later. I don't know that it would necessarily have ties with the Prometheus franchise; not even Ridley Scott seems to know where those films are going, plot-wise.

This is a great news for people who collect alien merchandise. I hope HT and Sideshow will make more Maquette based on this film.
From that article
Don't use the word franchise, don't even imply further movies. Just make one good film FFS. It doesn't need to be the start of a new trilogy. That hasn't been working out too well for Terminator, has it.

Are you on the square?
Ugh, I hope not!
