Amazing news.

Rumors are it will disregard the terrible Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection as noncanonical and will pick up after James Cameron's 1986 Aliens. Which means: Ripley, Hicks, and Newt are still alive.

Aliens is my favorite movie of all time and Alien 3 my most hated movie ever, so this is unbelievably awesome news for me. I also really like Blomkamp as a director. This will also stand alone from the awful Prometheus stuff.

District 9 was a great movie. I don't typically like Sci fi either.

I do like Sci Fi but I too was impressed with the movie

District 9 was incredible. I really hope that story gets continued, but I can't imagine it topping the original.

I liked Prometheus. I walked into it with zero expectation and believe it fulfilled its duty as an entertaining offshoot.

Confirmed it will take place after James Cameron's Aliens and ignore the other movies.

Will Segourney Weaver's reconstructed breasts be displayed? Asking for a friend.
