I found the following here......[url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news/prometheus-sequel-slated-for-20142015-release_1381807]contactmusic.com[/url].....and it contains information that makes the sequel look interesting in a way that only reading Ridley's qoutes will relate.... [b]Damon Lindelof - Prometheus Sequel Slated For 2014/2015 Release[/b] 02 August 2012 06:02:29 AM The 'Prometheus' sequel is set for a 2014 or 2015 release. The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the blockbuster is being actively pursued by studio Fox but co-writer Damon Lindelof may not be available to work on it due to scheduling conflicts. Fox told The Hollywood Reporter: ''[Sir Ridley Scott and Fox] are actively pushing ahead with a follow-up,'' and looking to a 2014 or 2015 release. Ridley has previously hinted at the name for the sequel which is expected to again feature Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace. When discussing what he envisages in the second movie, he referenced the film's original working title, 'Paradise', suggesting it will be used next time. He said: ''From the very beginning, I was working from a premise that lent itself to a sequel. ''I really don't want to meet God in the first one. I want to leave it open to Shaw saying, 'I don't want to go back to where I came from. I want to go where they came from.' ''I'd love to explore where [Dr. Shaw] goes next and what does she do when she gets there because if it is paradise, paradise can't be what you think it is.'' The director views paradise in his movie as ''sinister and ominous''. He added: ''Because [the Engineers] are such aggressive f*****s. I always had it in there that the God-like creature that you will see actually is not so nice, and is certainly not God.''

Ty for posting Craig! Yeah, looks pretty straight foreward. It will be Shaw and David going to meet more Engineers, etc. I really don't know why people assume Blade Runner will have anything to do with this movie LOL!

People just won't let the wished for [i]Bladerunner[/i] connection go. I don't get it either. One thing does hold true...In all of Ridley's Sci-Fi, there's a constant theme concerning aritifical life and what it is to be human....so, I think people just assume a connection as much as they hope for one. I'm more interested in these Ridley qoutes right now: ''I really don't want to meet God in the first one. I want to leave it open to Shaw saying, 'I don't want to go back to where I came from. I want to go where they came from.' The director views paradise in his movie as ''sinister and ominous''. He added: ''Because [the Engineers] are such aggressive f*****s. I always had it in there that the God-like creature that you will see actually is not so nice, and is certainly not God.''

To: Fan base Prometheus Franchise From: Weyland Corporation Visual Entertainment and Propaganda Unit We would like to thank our ever growing fan-base for their continued support of the Prometheus / Alien franchise. We endeavor to provide quality entertainment, with thrills and spills a plenty. We will increase the size and proportion of all Engineers in the forth coming movie. We will lock down the most talented group of writers this side of Pluto, and finally we will make sure that Sir Ridley Scott is alive and possibly reintegrated into a David 9 chassis for the duration of the film staff: Weyland Corporation Entertainment Mars Division

The Prometheus/Blade Runner connection is only apparant in the back of some minds simply because they want to be a linage of Androids/Replicants to have a 'genisis' of sorts from a common technological point and cross-pollination of franchises. Certain elemnts of Blade Runner DNA to inspire Prometheus and perhaps the reverse could be true and have Prometheus hints and refernces of technology-that-wil be in Balde Runner. Its possible that Ridley Scott may subtly reference his own franchises in very light hints, nothing more. Who knows, we'll see.

Hm. Well, that sounds just fabulous... All very nice and everything but, without prejudice, I do remember, quite well, buying into a tremendous amount of similar-sounding, silky, honeyed, words - to do with this-and-that, and, such-and-such - as Mr. Scott tenderly ladled them all down into my unsuspecting ear-hole: and not so very long ago, either.....only, to my surprise, I did find myself coming to know a different Reality in a darkened Picture House, one fine day - and, when I left that place, I was in a very unhappy frame of mind... When I take everything together, I believe I'll just wait, this time - before I allow myself to believe that any old, "Wow", talk is necessarily a promise of anything much - just because it is Mr. Scott, who said so: I'm afraid he's lost that Wild-card, as far as I'm concerned.

This is actually old news came out about the same time the film did - they are recycling : [url=http://www.totalfilm.com/news/ridley-scott-talks-prometheus-sequel]http://www.totalfilm.com/news/ridley-scott-talks-prometheus-sequel[/url] this stuff is very similar to the mountains of madness [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Mountains_of_Madness]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Mountains_of_Madness[/url] which is why gilmero decided not to make it for now...

Maybe Scott's quote of a 'civilization doing very uncivilized things' (meant for Prometheus - hey, already filmed or storyboarded?) will be in the next film and will up the scare ante a bit. I really hope he and a new writer/team can pull out all the stops and make a truly frightening God/apparition on a par or even surpassing the original Alien. There are so many wonderful possibilities out there now about this becoing a new franchise and where it could go in the right hands. A more lengthy film would do with possibly Spaihts penning a convincing outline for a good start. Last, but not least, just a hint at the evolution of the Alien and eggs and - hopefully - more Gigeresque imagery. I would like, finally, to see the Necronomicon or at least a close cousin, on the big screen in all it's perverse glory.

I'd prefer a 'good movie' to 'another franchise created'. We can only hope - everything inverse crossed.
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...

You're dead right FreePlanet, 'franchise' is A horrible parlance that's rubbed off on me over the last decade or so. Ditch that. Chapter then, let's call it a chapter.

[img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/ridley_scott_alien.jpg[/img] I thought for a long time ago in Prometheus had parallels with "In the Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft... with a trip [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/normal_20111222_teasertrailer13.jpg[/img] ancient structures [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/prometheus-movie-photos.jpg[/img] Alien Gods [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/Space-Jockey-Prometheus.jpg[/img] monsters [img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/trilobite_defeating_engineer.jpg[/img] And my final question was ... is there anything worse and scary that Engineers and monsters?

Yer they even got 'Elder Things' in it above the engineer type race - it will be interesting how similar it eventually is in the next part/s . Quote from it: "The Elder Things first came to Earth shortly after the Moon was pulled loose from the planet and were the creators of life." And there's other stuff anyway we shall see...

Well good news no Lindelof ;) Yes it would seem that he is going to follow where Shaw and David go. And thats why we never saw the Elders in Prometheus i recon Ridley left them out to be shown in Prometheus 2. We dont know for sure what Ridleys aim is, what i read from the comments is that by God Like Creatures he refers to the Engineer Race, and by saying he did not want to see them in Prometheus means he only wants to show us just the one. So yes the speculation that many had that the Engineers could well be servants or clones could well be whats going on. The question is did the Elders create the Engineers in their image to perform tasks for them, as it appears in the story board and deleted scene that the Sacrificial Engineer while looking like the Elders; had a more physical body he looked larger more heavier built as if designed for a purpose as opposed to the smaller enigmatic and frail look of the Elders. Do the Engineers get old eventually like the Elders and so are they the same? Or are the Engineers a work force race created by the Elders to undertake a number of physical tasks and labors and to set off on missions that would require danger and physical strength. I do think the story of the Engineers, Elders and Mankind is more closer to that of the Anunaki and Iggi and Humans.
