I don't dislike Blomkamp, I think anyone can make a bad film or two and don't hold with much of the criticism he's received. Blomkamp had a finished script already to go, Scott objected and demanded a rewrite (as ive not seen a script I can't say whether the decision was right or wrong). When a project such as Alien 5 gets put back indefinately its usually a good sign that the producers/studio want to get rid of someone because they know they won't hang about waiting and will certainly move on to other projects. Now Blomkamp has financed the concept pieces himself, he's put a lot into this film and I couldn't see him walking away if the production was to commence within the next 18 to 24 months may be even 3 years. Blomkamp has said he's through with Alien 5, now i'd say that wasn't the reaction of a director who held the confidence of a producer with the status that Scott has...whether there's been a big bust up between Blomkamp and Scott I couldn't say but certainly there was a difference in opinion on the script alone. And you have to remember that Prometheus 2 wasn't even originally intended to be an Alien film but its announced as one at the same time as Alien 5 is put on indefinite hold.
