HA!!!

[gaarg]

I still think those jockey pale fellows were done really good and fitted perfectly in the alien universe.

[GORDO]

wut? they ruined a cool alien design for no reason and made the alien an albino weightlifter.

[gaarg]

It was something different and quite bold if nothing else. Those other aliens from before had other purposes in other movies. I liked that.

Fox have confirmed that they’re “actively pushing ahead” with a sequel to Prometheus.

Ridley Scott is staying on board, and not handing off in an Alien-Aliens fashion, but the studio are speaking to new writers about joining him. This, they have told The Hollywood Reporter, is not because Damon Lindelof dropped the ball last time and drew huge amounts of ire from the critics and fans, but simply because “he might not be available.”

Okay, I’ll buy it. For now. He’s just too busy… with something.

Lindelof has said, several times, that he worked out and pitched a concept for the next film. It’s not clear if this core idea will remain in play, or if they’ll swap to another story line. Presumably this will depend on Scott, and how capricious he might be feeling.

Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are already contracted to appear in the sequel – it’s likely they signed on at the same times as agreeing to appear in the first film. I’m glad David is coming back because he was definitely the most interesting thin in the first film.

The studio say that we can expect the film in 2014 or 2015. This would mean, I assume, that production would take place in 2013 or 2014. Could Scott’s slate really read The Counselor – Blade Runner sequel – Prometheus sequel? Seems a little lacking in variety.

Let’s see how things develop here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this film just slip down the back of the sofa at some point.

They're looking for new writers, because Lindelof "might not be available"

uh oh here comes that rumor again that Lindelof's upcoming Brad Bird project 1954 is Star Wars Episode VIII. IT almost makes sense now, Prometheus was probably his biggest paycheck yet.

I usually facepalm immediately with most sequels...however I feel like Prometheus almost requires one to redeem itself....would love to able to look back on the first one and say "Ahh....so that's why (forced plot mechanism) happened."

He's the perfect choice to continue the prequels' legacy of narrative incoherence .

[J3FF3R00]

Wow. People are still talking about this p.o.s.?

Dear god no.

My favorite part is where the trilobite orally rapes the engineer; such violent lifecycles these creatures have. I sometimes fantasize about the trilobite having grabbed and incestuously impregnated Dr. Shaw instead creating a sort of genetic/evolutionary feedback loop... So hot.

This was great and did much to clear things up for me.

i think it's totally understandable why, it's a scifi movie made by Ridley Scott. It's a prequel to one of the best horror movies of all time. It used great ideas that with different execution and planning could have made a very good film.

 

If it was simply just a shit film with no redeeming qualities you wouldn't have what you described. It's frustrating that with all these elements we still had such a poorly written script and dialogue where the characters felt wooden based on probably what was a really decent/creative story treatment originally.
