Last night "District 9" director Neill Blomkamp announced that he'll be directing the next "Alien" film. Meanwhile, the star of "Alien," Sigourney Weaver, was on "The Tonight Show" to plug Blomkamp's upcoming sci-fi film "Chappie," which she stars in.

Host Jimmy Fallon asked about the potential of a Blomkamp-directed "Alien" sequel (and Questlove looked hopeful).
