Ridley Scott has confirmed that the scripts for both the highly anticipated Prometheus sequel and Blade Runner sequel have been written, completed and green lit. However, Scott also confesses that he's got a lot on his plate for the next few years, by directing the Matt Damon led, Martian for 2015, Ridley hints at the fact that he may be directing the Blade Runner sequel before the Prometheus sequel, which would undoubtedly delay the release of Prometheus 2 which originally had a projected release date of March 4th, 2016.
Regardig the Blade Runner sequel, Ridley remarks:
“It’s written and it’s damn good. Of course it involves Harrison, who is a survivor after all these years—despite the accident. So yes, that will happen.”
...Followed by “That’s the problem, I’ve got a lot of ducks in a row. But they’re all written.” when asked about the status of Prometheus 2.
Of course this doesn't confirm that Prometheus 2 won't be Scott's next project, as those decisions are left to the Studio, not so much the director. Between the two, it seems Prometheus 2 is the sequel most movie goers are interested in, while fans of the iconic Blade Runner are worried that a sequel will only damage the franchise. Regardless of which film comes first, it's reassuring to know that both films are written and have potential.
