Scott not in Director's seat for Paradise?

What gets me is that there's enough people going to see the 100th Underworld or Resident Evil but not enough to guaruntee 2 Prometheus sequels. It's just bonkers. As far as possible directors BESIDES Scott, I've posted a few very in-depth thoughts on my candidates in this thread... [url]http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/9412[/url] ...as well as some other threads about the topic. I would love to get into an in depth conversation about potential directors if anyone's interested.

Quote=Patient Leech... [b]" but you can see that the title of this thread tends to catch one's attention. It's no wonder our imaginations ran wild with it. So yes, please, always supply a link, especially when it has such massive implications like this."[/b] Link supplied. BTW...Not to be a prick, as I enjoy your posts very much Leech, but there is a big, fat question mark at the end of the topic title lol.

But apparently you're just SICK like that!! :-P [quote][b]What gets me is that there's enough people going to see the 100th Underworld or Resident Evil but not enough to guaruntee 2 Prometheus sequels.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the budget of P2 cut down a bit. Not that he overdid it with P1 (cuz the production is perfect) and special effects never once overwhelmed the story, but to help guarantee another film it might be worth it.

Only way I would be interested is if he directed.

Just to hopefully put the final nail or two in the coffin for this theory: remember that quote from the Fox studio president of production, Emma Watts? [url=http://www.metro.co.uk/film/907145-prometheus-sequel-confirmed-with-fassbender-and-rapace-signed-up]"Ridley is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can't rush it."[/url] No way is P2 anyone's film but Ridley's.

I just checked out the IMDB website for Ridley Scott. For Prometheus it says he is listed as Producer. When you click on the link..it come to the familar Promethues home page and says Ridley Scott dierector etc. etc. FOr Prometheus 2 it has himas Producer also. The Prometheus 2 page of course if full of ????. I am not sure why IMDB would list him as Producer for Prometheus but I am hopefully this is nothing more than some error. Ridley has said he wants to Direct the next movies. BTW: I knwi he is 74 but he is a pretty vigorous guy. I think he will bemaking movies into his 80's. It what defines him.

ridley being listed as a producer for P2 is not an issue and is more than likely accurate (he directed prometheus and was listed as one of the producers as well). I would be shocked if ridley wasnt a member of the producing team for P2 (i believe ms. watts is executive producer?). Hopefully, like most other facets of the P2 production at this time, ridley not being slotted as director of P2 is just a matter of incomplete information. Leech mentioned the most important and positive piece of info we have right now and thats ms watts' comment concerning both ridley's excitement towards the sequel and, by way of saying things the way she did, ms. watts' endorsement of ridley as the go to man regarding the construction of P2. Im going to try and remain hopeful. I gotta believe ridley is going to finish his work.
