Neill Blomkanp Unveils His New ALIEN Pulse Rifle
"Remember, short, controlled bursts..." Though Ridley Scott maintains his Prometheus sequel, Alien: Paradise Lost, will shoot first, Neill Blomkamp is also forging ahead with his Alien flick. Take a look at one of the updated Pulse Rifles we'll see in the movie..
Though anticipation seems to have stalled somewhat after the lukewarm reception to Chappie, South African director Neill Blomkamp is still working on that Alien movie, and he's posted a new BTS snap to his Instagram account. The Pulse Rifle was introduced in James Cameron's Aliens, and was the weapon of choice for the Colonial Marines in that movie. Obviously military weaponry won't have changed that much for this next installment - which might well wind up being a direct sequel to Aliens, after all - aside from an added RIS (Rail Interface System).
The tentatively titled Alien 5 doesn't have a release date yet, but Alien: Paradise Lost will hit theaters in 2017.
