When the USCSS Prometheus never returned from its mission to LV-223, the Weyland Corporation was bound to investigate why. In a new interview with Awards Campaign, director Ridley Scott opened up even more about various Alien: Paradise Lost plot details. When asked if Paradise Lost would maintain the same aesthetic as Prometheus, Scott replied by saying:
“It’s going to be it’s own separate thing because they are going to the planet of the Engineers and they are going to see what happened there. It was a disaster, and they will be in that alien craft that takes them there, but with a new group that’s incoming, a new group of travelers in the beginning of the first act.”
A new group of travelers sounds quite interesting, though Scott neglects to expand on who these new travelers will be. We can only assume that it will be a follow-up crew investigating what became of the Prometheus mission. Does this mean a new crew find the crashed Juggernaut on LV-223? Do they give the Deacon a way off-planet? Is a member of Ellen Ripley's family part of this new crew? So many questions need answering and we're just getting started!
Prometheus 2, a.k.a Alien: Paradise Lost will see the return of Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbener as Elizabeth Shaw and David once again as they journey to the Engineer homeworld, but with the mention of this new group, we wonder if the two will cross paths!
