After 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...

Hopefully, there will be no call for Alan Smithee!

Peter Jackson and Ridley Scott for me they would do very well.... If not then i dont think JJ Abrahams is all that bad...

I think RS has a long term plan, so let it play out

Duncan Jones is good (very good), but he's very into that "this is not actually what you think it is" thing and I'm not sure how that would work for something like this. The (traditional) Alien Universe is about "you can't believe this is as bad as it actually seems, and then it gets worse." Those are very different to me. Of course, I haven't seen [i]Prometheus[/i] yet.

@Spacyfreak [i]"cant remember any good film by spielberg"[/i] What drugs are you on? Jaws Close Encounters of the Third Kind ET All of the Indiana Jones movies (w/ Lucas) Jurassic Park Jurassic Park: The Lost World Saving Private Ryan I'm just going to stop there... I could go on and on and on. You are nuts! Now, for an Alien universe movie... no way! No Spielberg. I'd be interested in seeing any of the following directors: James Cameron Christopher Nolan Darren Aronofsky Zack Snyder I mean really, most directors could do a GOOD job but it truly all comes down to the story... the screenplay/script is the key element. We need STRONG writers and narrative visionaries for the director to work with.

I'd maybe throw Matt Reeves into the mix after 'Cloverfield' and 'Let Me In'??

If not RS then Joss Whedon.

@spacyfreak: i have been championing Chris Cunningham to direct the sequel (if there is to be one) ever since the live chat with Scott waaaaaay back in December of last year personally, i feel Cunningham is the ONLY one who could really punch thru, and give us ALIEN loyalist' the severely wanted stark and disturbing film i have been wanting for almost 30+ years now all the rest if the "popular sci-fi / fantasy" directors will just not do if not Ridley Scott himself for the sequel - - then P L E A S E give Cunningham his fair shot at a sequel for this great looking new film

I still think CHRIS CUNNINHAM as director of a great sci-fi movie would be a real BANG .. a bang we had not for so many many years in sci-fi history. Really looking forward to some great cunningham full-size movie. Watch and hear THIS... DO I HAVE TO SAY MORE? http://www.chriscunningham.com/

Chris Nolan/ Peter Jackson?! I suspect that in the next few months we will realise why the cinema cut turned out the way it did, and who is to blame: Lindelof/ Ridley/ Fox....? Melkor [url= http://benjitaylorwins.wordpress.com]My review here!!![/url]

@ spacyfreak Fincher did not write the film, he just directed, and did *#! awesome job of it im opinion, all of it's flaws were down to the CG department and writers, aside from the Alien perspective shots, anyway.. My preferences to direct, in order: Chris Cunningham David Fincher Ridley Scott (If he goes back to film school)

Well, I was hoping Ridley can do another sequel for PROMETHEUS, my second opinion choice will be James Cameron, as he knows how to get the audience attention of bringing into a new world.

My choice is my favorite director, Alfonso Cuaron. Hes the master of brutal beauty! With him the film would have a grand, big feeling about it while being down to Earth and straightforward, without any holes.
