Reveries inspired by Blomkamp's Alien 5 project
but nothing to do with it

leading from


Blomkamp's photo



a) Pustules filled with Aliens
Ever since Neill Blomkamp posted the photo of a room with a television screen, a model of the power loader and various photos from Alien and images of pieces of artwork by Giger on the wall, I thought about biomechanoids swarming in clusters so that one sees all connected together in a single environment and one can not where one alien begins and another finishes and thought how perhaps this could be accomplished with special effects, and then, I imagines one of Giger's landscapes of flesh and pustules and how one of the pustules ripped open and there inside were the alien creatures compressed together, and the Colonial Marines armed with guns and perhaps exoskeleton suits are looking in to the masses of aliens that perhaps lie there dormant ready to slowly wake up as in James Cameron's Aliens movie. Perhaps I am thinking about the original cocoon concept about how if a piece of the growth was broken off, lots of maggots would pour out of the segment.

b) Further exoskeleton thoughts
Perhaps the exoskeleton suits would be something like the ones from Halo since Blomkamp had been working on a movie adaption of that and it looked as if there was one made in Korea in a recent piece of artwork he put on the internet or indeed perhaps just a cluster of yellow Power Loaders all tangled together so that one can not see where one begins and the other end. The non functionality of it all would interest me even more.

c) Previous thoughts
Previously when I had reveries connected with Bloomkamp making the film, he told his story about Alien being played on the video feed at his childhood family's holiday apartment and I started to imagine that the new Alien 5 must be connected with the videotape horror movies (See Ghosts In The VCR at dreaming about Alien meets Ringu = Aliengu) and also when the news that he would be making Alien 5 was announced, I drew a picture of an alien pretending to be the robot hero from the movie Chappie. (see Alien 5: "Big Chappie")
