Prometheus 2 new Alien title revealed

“Yes”, replied Scott when asked by German outlet FilmFutter whether the franchise will directly link up with the Alien series, “but it won’t be in the next one”.

As Sir Ridley Scott prepares for the launch of his enormously satisfying sci-fi flick, The Martian, he’s been talking, mostly to HeyUGuys, about his next movie: the sequel to Prometheus.

Scott previously confirmed in an earlier interview that “Prometheus” installments will have connections to “Alien“, saying, “Yes [it will connect to Alien], but it won’t be in the next one”. “In a way it is “Prometheus 2.’ It’s exactly the same story”, he told the magazine about the title swap”.

This is a reference to the poem Paradise Lost by English poet John Milton which detailed the biblical story of the Fall of Man after the temptation of Adam and Eve. While Scott’s plan is to be at the helm of the other two sequels, Neill Blomkamp’s film “Alien 5” has been bumped off to a later year in 2018. It sounds intellectual, but there’s a similarity to it, and that’s where it stops. The question is, how much will we be left scratching our heads at the end of this one? The shooting will commence in January 2016, but Scott has already hinted that there might be more than one sequel to cover all the unanswered mysteries from the first Prometheus film, according to Screen Crush. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender will be brought back to reprise their roles as Elizabeth Shaw and the android David, respectively. Movie’ goers want both iconic filmmakers to continue producing original work, but neither franchise is worth this type of investment. The Engineers – the alien race behind the “space jockey” in the first Alien movie and the mysterious antagonists of Prometheus – are god-like beings who just-so-happen to create the most unsafe creature in the universe with the Xenomorph. Do you think it makes a lot more sense not to call the sequel Prometheus 2?
