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." [i]Quote used from Wikipedia.com[/i] 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?

Just something that needs to scare the crap out of everybody....not things jumping out at you or blood and guts so much. I'm talking a visual explanation of what exactly happened with the Engineers that caused so much chaos. No corny character conversations, no corny "fill in this scene just for the hell of it" type creatures. This next movie really needs to prove the point that less is more. Something at the end where we all say, "wow, that really might be what happens to us as humans if we go to far and discover too much." And we all get that sinking feeling that we where just hit with the biggest horror that completely makes sense. Without all the flashy CGI and cool ships or sex references getting in the way. I want to be 6th Sense and The Shinning type freaked out because those movies just don't exist anymore. Sounds too perfect I know but oh well it's late at night and I just wanted to add my two cents.

sounds contradictory. Did Terminator need T2 ? no, it also was able to stand alone. Even Episode I would stand good alone.
