Ellen Ripley famously strapped herself into a Power Loader to kick the Queen Alien’s ass in Aliens, and it seemed that Sigourney Weaver was going to take things to a whole new level in Neill Blomkamp‘s planned sequel to the film, which of course never ended up seeing the light of day. Various pieces of early concept art have suggested that Ripley was going to be wearing some sort of Xenomorph disguise in the unmade movie, and we’ve got another look at that Xenomorph suit courtesy of more concept art shared by Geoffroy Thoorens this week.
What we know of Blomkamp’s vision is that it would’ve brought Sigourney Weaver back as Ellen Ripley alongside Michael Biehn as Corporal Hicks, with previously unearthed concept art showing everything from Ripley and a scarred-up Hicks reuniting to Ripley wearing the aforementioned disguise. Apparently, there was even going to be a four-armed Xenomorph.
Newt, who was unceremoniously killed off between the events of Aliens and Alien 3, was also set to return in Blomkamp’s once-planned movie, at one point titled Alien: Red Harvest. The plan was to retcon all the films in the franchise beyond Aliens, but of course 20th Century Fox ultimately decided to give the franchise back to original director Ridley Scott instead.
Check out the latest batch of concept art below, which comes courtesy of Geoffroy Thoorens (@djahal) over on Instagram. In one of the drawings we’re presumably looking at Ripley taking the fight to a four-armed Xenomorph while wearing her own Xenomorph suit, while another shows a mysterious worm-like creature entering a man’s body through his stomach…
Thanks to the website AvP Galaxy for the heads up!
