Paradise Movie Filmed In Advance

I know this has been discussed from alternate angles already. But, it just occurred to me recently that maybe the evidence to support our theory has been in front of us all along. That theory being, that Prometheus' sequel is in fact titled "PARADISE" and that is was filmed alongside Prometheus all in one go. Let's recap: 1 - Security for Prometheus' filming was very strict. Not much got out. What did get leaked was quickly removed. 2- For a good year, the film was untitled, going by "Alien Prequel" for ages until about 2 years back, the official title "PROMETHEUS" was revealed to the public. 3- Later on, we learned that the "original title" of Prometheus was "PARADISE" before being renamed to Prometheus, relatively last-minute. Okay, point #3 doesn't site well with me. Why change the name last minute? And if it was last minute, WHY did we see set photos of some "Clapboards" or "Movie Markers" entitled with PARADISE? That means they were filming with Paradise as being their working title... Yet, wouldn't the name change take place before the filming begins? Doesn't that occur in the scripting stage? Now, I'm not very knowledgeable about these processes as some of you might be, and I do realize that the "Return of the Jedi" was named that even after filming wrapped up, but still. Seems odd to me. Also, in various other threads supporting this theory - some filming locations were never seen int he film. It seems silly to me, that Ridley had full scale model sets built for Prometheus, which could be re-used in Paradise - only to have them torn down, to be rebuilt at a later time when filming for Paradise begins. This to me seems like a waste of time, money and effort - something studios are not fond of doing. It's all about efficient use of time, space and resources and with movies like AVATAR and MAD MAX sequels being filmed simultaneously, it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case with Paradise as well. So, all this being said and with supporting discussions by other members which can be found in these forums, it is certainly possible that part of, if not all of Paradise was already filmed and ready for "relaunch" sometime soon. Could it be 10.11.12? Personally, I doubt it. As Prometheus will not have hit every country by that time yet it would seem silly, marketing wise. Some need to wait quite a while before seeing Prometheus to begin with. But will we get a teaser trailer perhaps? Maybe. Anything is possible. Maybe a link to Paradise can be found in the collector's edition BluRay - who knows. But it certainly raises some questions. Any thoughts on this? Any theories to add? Post them below.

If the sequel is also rushed in plot like the prometheus movie then I doubt if it will even manage to stay in theaters for a week or so.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

My thoughts regarding the 3 months filming in Spain, the production sets for Prometheus and Juggernaut, the plot for Prometheus 2 and the entire acting crew, production/filming crew keeping everything hush-hush is this: Surely P2 story will be mostly about the trip to the Engineers home-world on the Juggernaut w/Shaw, David, perhaps 4 sleeping engineers and a Deacon or 2. The entire plot location will be similar to Alien, 90% of that story takes place on the Nostromo, hence 90% of the P2 plot takes place on the Juggernaut. Also in the artwork of Prometheus, the ship Magellan looks like there are 2 large cylinder type drums mounted on bottom of the ship in front of the elevator controlled cargo bay. Those 2 drums I’d think are weapon cylinders, perhaps containing missiles. As a note, Ferdinand Magellan was an explorer in 1519 to 1522 w/a fleet of 5 ships, the flag ship Trinidad, the San Antonio, the Conception, the Santiago, and the Victoria.... The Magellan spacecraft/space probe was used to radar map Venus in 1989.... So perhaps a interstellar ship called Magellan will be the other part of the story in P2, hence the production/filming set of Prometheus can be re-used for the Magellan ship... So my best guess, the plot consist of the Juggernaut in route to the Engineer’s home-world, Deacon is terrorizing the crew, including the Engineers on the Juggernaut. The Magellan ship arrives to LV-223 to only find out they need to now track down Shaw after finding out that there is only death at LV-223. Even Vickers might even be in P2, if she survived being crush, hey it’s Hollywood, anything and everything is possible. Did I mention that I bet that P2 is already been completed, I guess that was the point I was trying to make in the first place BTW I mentioned awhile back that I believed P2 was already completed or near completion at the time I posted back in mid June....
I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo....

fader, unless I'm sorely mistaken (and I could be) the 'second Juggernaut' took off before DEACON was born. Right? Anyway, there's no guarantee that Shaw/David are on that second juggernaut that left LV-223

First off...it has been said since the beginning of this grand adventure we are on that there would be two films "Right!". There has been no information to public release that they are not going to be making a second film. After watching Pro-method us 3 X a cliffhanger...I would say most peoples disappointment is that we want to see more cause certainly there is more to see! It will be interesting what is released with the DVD and the most painfully/suspiciously delayed Aliens Colonial Marines game.

@ freeplanet and joeyjoe The point I am trying to make is that certainly there will be some plot point of Shaw and David traveling in the Juggernaut, and with the Juggernaut set already in place during the making of Prometheus, one would have to think a good portion of P2 may have been already filmed along with the filming Prometheus. The other point is the drawings of the Magellan ship, that the interior of the Magellan ship would most likely be identical to the Prometheus ship, which that set was already in place, so using the same set to film the interior of Magellan ship could easily take place while filming Prometheus. And that’s if the Magellan ship is in P2, who knows? Alien movie was all about the xeno being on the Nostromo, it’s my assumption that P2 will be primarily about the travels of Shaw and David with a story that parallels w/Alien so to speak. For the moment who knows what is on the Juggernaut ship that Shaw and David took.... Engineers...?, Deacons...? Xenos...? Who knows? it's simply just my assumption

They probably filmed only part of the next movie before they tore down the set with the Space Jockey chair, cargo hold, etc... I mean, how much of the movie (Paradise) can be inside the Juggernaut Shaw and David8 took off in? Probably not too much, I'd think.

@ Fader, The Magellan was the name for the humans ship before its name was changed to Prometheus, as explained in the Art of Prometheus book.
