Another Director for PROMETHEUS 2?

Promethian Man
MemberOvomorphJune 06, 20122995 Views46 RepliesAfter all the criticisms being leveled at Prometheus, and also if we follow the pattern of the 'Alien' franchise, could the sequel benefit from another visionary director?
Like a Guillermo Del Toro, etc. , etc.
What do you guys think? Maybe they could clear up the plot holes and really take things to the next level...

Please no, not him, he'll make the whole thing gothic fairytale.
Im happy with RS doing it just fine

I'll hope that there's not the director of Alien 3. If there is a other i'll choose James carmon.

@Chr1s,
The only reason I pose this is because how reasonable is it to assume that Ridely will do more than produce and oversee Part 2, because he has so many other things on his upcoming slate.
Maybe, they'll now allow Carl Rinsch to direct it, now that he's got '47 Ronin' under his belt...

@The Lone Gunwoman,
I'd love to see what David Cronenberg would do, but as the Hollywood machine is all about the money, if they can't entice Ridley back, they'll go for some other, blockbuster-type director...
Maybe Andrew Stanton could do good coming off the back of John Carter?
( Actually, that choice would negate my whole notion of choosing someone for their dollar value - but leaving JC aside, Stanton has a great track record... )

Well, there is a bunch of GREAT directors round...
my VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY FAVOURITE would be...
CHRIS CUNNINGHAM!
This man is maybe the ONLY ONE with REALLY SICK, WIRED visions.

That would be a genius, imaginative, and bold choice!!
Let's put the word out to make it so...!!

[size=200]CHRIS CUNNINGHAM! WHO THE HELL ELSE??????[/size]
New directors for a new generation...
CANT WAIT to see the FIRST FAT SciFi-MOVIE of CHRIS CUNNINGHAM!

Stanton has a very BIG negative balance in his SciFi account right now as far as the Studios are concerned. He'll be fine if he goes back to Emeryville.
I could totally get into an Engineer Homeworld done by either Del Toro or David Fincher. He's a good director. A3 three was just an utter KlvsterPhvck all around. I don't think it was totally his fault.
BUT, this is what[u] I want to believe[/u]. I want to believe that there are two more films that Ridley genuinely wants to make.
1. A revisiting of Blade Runner (on his own terms)
2. The revealing of the truths/realities behind the Engineers
I believe that these are territories that are truly interesting to him personally.
I think (hope, dream) that #2 above might be a film like [i]Blade Runner[/i], that is NOT necessarily a commercial success at the time of its release, because there is MORE THERE than a commercial audience would/could appreciate in its own timeframe. BUT, in order to get 100million+ to make it with his very lofty, discriminating stylistic requirements, I think he needs a commercial success again in that 'universe' under his belt to pay for it. And, I also hope, with every finger that crossable crossed, that [i]Prometheus[/i] will do that for him.

Other possible choices...
- David Lynch
Like most of his movies, but dont know if this man would/could fit to alien universe.. i think for lynch WHOLE REAL LIFE is a plain DREAM... LSD head
- Cronenberg
Hmm.. he had his best times.. loved NAKED LUNCH... but thats some years ago.
- James Cameron
Must say - Aliens was a REAL masterpiece. Perfect timing, perfect screenplay. Ok, much armee blah but it was REALLY fantastic. Cant imagine doing anything better on Aliens. Still love it after all these years..
- Steven Spielberg
Oh, just kidding! Spielberg could be hired by DISNEY ... cant remember any good film by spielberg.. AI was .. hmm dont know... to childish?
Super8 was really CRAP. Crap that you forget an hour after leaving the cinema.
- David Finsher
No.. had his chance on Aliens3. WAs not tooo bad... but dont know why the movie was THAT SERIOUS. And the idea with prison planet was not special at all, dont know what he wanted to tell us with that movie...
June 06, 2012
HELL NO!!!!!!
The question in itself is dumb - who is the best creator for the idea, created by Riedley Scott............................................? WTF?

...by the way..
i simply dont know if i can trust RIDLEY SCOTT.... he is getting old.
Sure, brilliant man, but that was some years ago, and i saw him beeing brilliant just in TWO (2) movies - alien and bladerunner.
The rest is more or less CRAP!
He did so many things that simply can not be forgiven
- G.I. Jane - Jesus Christ, how sick must he have been doing such a crap..
- Working with russel crowe for so long time
- robin hood .. ROBIN HOOD! ARRGHH!!
- Gladiator - oh how i hate this boring movie. You have seen BenHur? THATS a movie!

HAS to be Ridley to ensure the continuity of mood.
Otherwise Christopher Nolan. After The Dark Knight/Inception he can be relied on to twist the idea and push it where others cant imagine. David Lynch had his foray into sci/fi with Dune. He wont get burnt again.

Yo, "should have to be ridley"...
but...
BUT....
should i wait another 2 years to have another "lindelof shit-crap-script" right before my eyes? When watching "LOST" sometimes i allways thought ".. oh what an a..hole to make you curious without EVER EVER EVER giving you some answer.. just EMPTY BLAH....
Lindelof was my biggest fear according to prometheus - and i CAN believe my feelings, unfortunatelly!
