Another Director for PROMETHEUS 2?

Cunningham would likely make something that I would LOVE, but it would never make enough money to justify its own existence and he's young enough that that would be really bad for his career. [i]All is Full of Love[/i] is utterly brilliant as is [i]Windowlicker[/i]. [i]Come to Daddy[/i] is also noteworthy.

@Kirill, The question isn't dumb, as the imaginative choices by the previous commentors demonstrate. As Ridley and other big directors rarely sequelize their own works, it's reasonable to assume another director may take over the next installment.

I propose the candidacy of David Lynch! I am confident that he will be able to create the most gloomy atmosphere of an alien point of absurdity and horror. Especially as he needs to be rehabilitated after the "Dune". Since the film has not turned out not his fault, but because of Dino De Laurentiis stupidity. Of course, if the artist will be painting the HR Giger, and Angelo Badalamenti wrote the music. just imagine!

Of course, David Lynch. He will make the sequel so confusing and bizarre, nobody will be able to criticize it, and it will turn out everything in part one was just a weird dreeeeeeeeam, of Ripley in hyperspaaaaaace, and when she wakes up the statue of Lincoln turns out to be a SPEEZ JOCKURY, then everybody will stand up and sing the nation anthem in honor of Michael FACEBENDER

Oh i am NOT sure if cunningham cares that much on career. He is genius, and does what he wants to do. He does have the vision - and he has the expirience and is able to do it, he was proved in SO MANY little video, and each of them is ORIGINAL and BREATHTAKING. You have NEVER seen something like that before - thats fact. And it is not "only" fresh and never-seen, it really TOUCHS you somewhere in your brain where you would not expect. Movies from the LSD generation... are "different", as reality is "different" from that what we THINK is reality.

I think realistically, we may have to discount the BIG directors such as Cameron, Lynch, Cronenberg, Aronofsky, Fincher, etc. as they would unlikely ( at this stage in their own careers ) sequelize someone else's work ( even if it's Ridley Scott's ). We may be looking at up-and coming directors, or directors who are out there that have shown great potential.

Sorry Duncan jones, off of moon fame.

Duncan Bell?!

Duncan Jones - YES!!! Love thast idea too - A brilliantly imaginative director who could break through onto the blockbuster stage with the right project. I think a Prometheus sequel would give him the chance to excel and at the same time take the inventive leap that perhaps Prometheus lacked. Great choice Slipp_Digby!

Alan Smithee (just in case).

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

Chris Nolan

dig up Alfred Hitchcock !He could do a better Job Dead than most could alive !
