Los Angeles - Neill Blomkamp thinks Hollywood will give the go-ahead to his take on Alien.
In January, the South African filmmaker released Alien-themed concept art work of Sigourney Weaver - who starred in the original films, as well as Blomkamp's new movie Chappie, and has now revealed that the only obstacle remaining is whether or not he wants to proceed with the plan.
He explained: "Basically, what happened was, when Chappie got heavily into post-production, I could take my foot off the gas a bit."
