"During the March 17, 2012, WonderCon, Scott stated that the film leaves many questions unanswered, and that these could be answered in a sequel, saying "If we're lucky, there'll be a second part. It does leave you with some nice open questions." Asked if a sequel would be a direct prequel to Alien, Lindelof said "if we’re fortunate enough to do a sequel... it will tangentialize even further away from the original Alien." In June 2012, Lindelof stated that while plot elements were deliberately left unresolved so that they could be answered in a sequel, he and Scott thoroughly discussed what should be resolved so that Prometheus could stand alone, as a sequel was not guaranteed. Further detailing his sequel concept, Scott stated that it would follow Shaw to her next destination, "because if it is paradise, paradise can not be what you think it is. Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous." Lindelof cast doubt on his participation stating "if [Scott] wants me to be involved in something, that would be hard to say no to. At the same time, I do feel like [Prometheus] might benefit from a fresh voice or a fresh take or a fresh thought." Scott has stated that an additional film would be required to bridge the gap between the Prometheus sequel and the original Alien."

In your opinion how would you feel if the Prometheus sequels got a new writer instead of Lindelof? How would that freshen the scope of the Prometheus storyline?
Knowing that Ridley Scott has stated that an additional 1 or 2 films to Prometheus would be needed to fill in the "gap" between Prometheus and Alien, what would be the best way in going about that? In what direction do you think FOX should go in order to make Prometheus a successful film series and storyline to Alien?
