20th Century Fox has closed a deal with director Neill Blomkamp to develop a new “Alien” movie, sources confirm.

The untitled sci-fi project is separate from “Prometheus 2,” which Fox is still making with Ridley Scott.

Blomkamp, who directed “District 9″ and the upcoming Sony feature “Chappie,” had been teasing the project in recent months but said the extra-terrestrial reboot was likely abandoned. It was supposed to star “Alien” veteran Sigourney Weaver.

But on Wednesday Blomkamp confirmed the tentpole was back on track at Fox.

It seems like Neill Blomkamp's Alien sequel isn't happening at all.

Despite the announcement of Alien 5, as well as positive word from lead star Sigourney Weaver, the franchise's creator, Sir Ridley Scott, has poured cold water over the entire project.

“There was never a script. It was an idea that evolved from, I believe, a ten-page pitch, and I was meant to be part of the producers on that. It didn’t evolve.
