The South African director Neill Blomkamp has revealed concept art for an Alien sequel he has now apparently abandoned.

The Elysium director posted artwork on his Instagram feed on New Year’s Day, showing original star Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn, who played Hicks in Aliens, in mocked-up images from a project Blomkamp said he was no longer working on.

He accompanied a picture of a xenomorph character with a short post that read: “Was working on this. Don’t think I am anymore. Love it though.”

The seven images include a spacecraft, buildings and Weaver in a suit that resembles a xenomorph from the franchise. Blomkamp described the artwork as taking “a mental stroll into the world Ridley Scott created”.
