[url=http://collider.com/ridley-scott-alien-prequel-blade-runner-hero-complex-film-festival/31898/]Here's[/url] one early article.... AND [url=http://screenrant.com/two-alien-prequels-in-3d-rob-56119/]HERE'S[/url] an even better one... And there's plenty more floating about on the net. Look..... my point is, I remember when they "were" official 'Alien Prequels' and they weren't trying to hide it, for starters.... ALSO, it was extremely odd that outta nowhere they reversed their idea and went against their initial announcement and declared that not only were they not prequels anymore but then they were only referring to one movie instead of 'movies'..... But, what happened in the process that turned them from two movies into one? .... You know what I think?.... I think their are still TWO movies.... and with all these early 'spoilers' about the ending being, well..... "abrupt" ... I think, just like Sir Ridley & Company were adamant about 'Prometheus' "not being an Alien prequel, but yet it most obviously is..... I'm willing to bet that there's a bunch more footage waiting to be cut for part 2.... They're no strangers to BS'ing us about this movie..... why would an already planned and filmed 'part 2' be so different?..... We all know Ridley is budget conscious about his film making..... Shooting two movies on the same budget is the ultimate way to to do just that...... especially when Scott's been eluding to the 'prometheus sequel' in the press already...... Think about it.... then tell me how insane this idea really is.

@Shambhala..... I'm betting on probably a combination of possibility 1 & 2..... I think a little too highly of Sir Ridley to let Lindleloff (or whatever his name) allow his creative material go to 'shit infamy' with a flat ending...

@Blood.... he's already in pre-production for [i]THE COUNSLER[/i] and also mentioned he's in the creative phase for 'Blade Runner Sequel'....... "Right Away" means: I already have the footage and all's I gotta do is edit it..... I'm almost certain of it now.....

Interesting, and there are 3 possibilities: -Prometheus is the prequel to the prequel. -The starting point of a spin-off with a sequel in parallel. -Or will be a mystery forever (I personally hope not, no more Lost please!)

I'm saying they filmed the WHOLE movie...... AND they planned it from the get-go..... they just hoped the initial two movie announcement would just fizzle away after they denounced 'Prometheus' as a actual 'Alien Prequel'.... I'm calling them out now

I'd be interested how he managed that in the time frame, but it's possible for sure! Very cool idea, hope you're right!

What you just said makes a lot of sense. The money and time that it took to make and put up those elaborate sets we see in the clips, is time consuming. Why would he have to go through all of that again to make the second movie, when he could do it all at once now. I'm not saying that they filmed the whole movie( Promethues 2) as they were filming Prometheus itself. Maybe they just filmed some of the second movie.

I'm sure there will be a sequel but I doubt they already filmed shots for it.

Really.... think about it...... It's actually more logical than "insane"..... That was the publicly announced plan to begin with.... It's a HUGE waste of money to do one at a time if you are serious about doing the sequel..... He has the movie 'The Counsler' then 'Blade Runner' prequel......when exactly do you think he'll get back around to filming "Prometheus 2"??? Ridley Scott said and i qoute "I'm already wondering what i'm gonna do for prometheus 2".... Sounds like he's fucking with us, honeslty...... like he already freaking knows what the hell he's 'gonna do'..... Good one Sir

I think the studio wants this, but will wait to see the box office return first. I would expect to see "The counselor" then the BladeRunner movie then if all goes well a 2nd film in the prometheus saga. im thinking two to 3 years away. Keep in mind R.S. is over 70.

I'd like to believe that theory, but I'm not sure that they could keep a lid on that type of information. I do hope a sequel happens soner rather than later, while there is still some renewed interest in Ridley's Alien franchise.

I think this has to be the most unlikely theory I've read on here (and that's saying something).

Nonsense. This never happened...although you will get some sizeable easter eggs in the blue ray Im sure For those that have seen it will tell you....how would you shoot the sequel when youve run out of characters? Why would it be shot in exactly the same locations using the same set designs? This aint LOTR where you have the same set of characters running through all 3 films

Maybe they are using a lot of flash sequences. To the Prometheus crew which will be needed in the next film.
