In a new interview with IGN, director Ridley Scott reveals more of his plans for the Prometheus franchise - stating he will not only be directing the first sequel, Alien: Paradise Lost, but also the sequel after that as well!
“I’m trying to keep this for myself. I let the other one [Alien] get away from me – I shouldn’t have… I’m trying to re-resurrect the beast and let if off the hook for a while because I’m coming back into the back-end of Alien 1. I’m gradually getting to Alien 1.
Prometheus 2 will start getting shot in February and I’ve already begun now so I know what the script is. Then there will be another one after that and then maybe we’ll back into Alien 1, as to why? Who would make such a dreadful thing?”
Alien: Paradise Lost will begin shooting in Australia in February and will be aiming for a May, 2017 release date! Rumors are that the exact date will be May 30th, 2017, but that is unconfirmed currently.
