Future of the series - Prometheus' Sequel(s) - Ideas, Expectations & Desires

@ Prehnility hmmm but do we?

lol man some of these comments crack me up makes you realize why literally any old film can become someones favorite... And caenorhabhditis - it is true that this film is so shaky in its foundations that I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened later on! But due to the fact that Damon said she was not an Android in an interview I think that ones about wrapped up!

aaaand ridley said there may be two so :P (blows raspberry)

As I said nothing surprises me any more about this film if that is true...there could be a giant pair of bollocks that turn out to be the engineers home planet in part 2 and I would sit there in the cinema and think - yep!

lmao visualising giant eerie grey testicle shaped planet

@caenor I'm pretty sure Lindelof already confirmed that in an interview.

Shaw won't re-assemble David because in Ridley Scott's words, "she knows then he'll be deadly". The first leg of [u]Prometheus 2[/u] may be all aboard Shaw's juggernaut, as she explores it (maybe at her peril), and learns what she can. If she is wise, she'll ask David to teach her as much as he can about how to read and speak their language ahead of time, and she should try to learn as much as she can from their computers and holograms. There may be more sleeping engineers aboard, or other monsters lurking in other forms of stasis or hibernation. The trip to the engineers' home world could take a very long time, even centuries or millenia. LV-223 was only app. 35 light years from Earth, which in space terms is right nextdoor. Even if the engineers' home world was "a little far away", it could be something like 500 light years distant. Of course, though, how long the trip takes depends on the speed of the juggernaut. It is very likely to be much faster than the Prometheus, but all-in-all the trip is more likely to be very long than anything short. Eventually, Shaw will need to enter hyper-sleep, so the navigational computers will need to be programmed to take her where she wants to go. This will bring her into unique danger because it means she'll be unconscious, with David at least being awake. Say the ship is intercepted en-route and boarded by engineer security forces near their system. They find David and re-assemble him, and he tells them whatever he wants about himself and Shaw. They take them both to a space station for study, and from the get-go Shaw loses her huge juggernaut and is at their mercy. The engineers might not be hostile to David, as the one who tore his head off was. Let's say David speaks on her behalf, though, and convinces them to answer her questions and even take her to their home world so she can see it. Then we get to see it as an audience, and hear their answers which are likely "we don't know what you're talking about". The bases on LV-223 seemed long abandoned, even forgotten. It's doubtdul Earth or its inhabitants have any importance to the engineers of their home world, assuming they have a living civilization and everything there isn't in ruins or abandoned too. The engineers may give Shaw permission to visit as a tourist basically, and the movie encompasses several conversations she gets into with them, and ultimately they point her in the direction of their historians who may know more.

It might be an interesting subplot for the original ship (Alien, Aliens) to be made operational.

At some point in the series, I believe Shaw is going to be presented with some sort of philosophical or moral choice. Like Charlie was asked "what would you be willing to do?" and was eventually sacrificed for "the greater good" (albeit unwillingly by David) I think Shaw will be asked the same thing by the Engineers. I believe the engineers value self-sacrifice... hold that idea in high regard. I think that Shaw will be given the answers she seeks, and in return will be asked to sacrifice herself for humanity. She will sacrifice herself to save mankind - similar to what JC did 2000 years prior. Edit: After thinking a little more about this... perhaps Shaw will be THEIR (the engineers) savior in some way. Sacrificed to the Xeno. Sacrificed to take the Xeno to its highest level of evolution. She is the chosen one etc. Perhaps the Engineers are in the midst of civial war. When Shaw arrives at "Paradise" it is war-torn and ravaged. She sacrifices herself to end the conflict, thus saving humanity and the Engineers.

I have to concurr with a few of the members on here that the xeno experiment was NOT a WMD. Logically that would take too long even with thousands of vases filled with xeno microorganisms. Humans have technologically advanced enought be able to survive that since these xenos are vulnerable to fire, bullets, bombs and other killing devices we have on Earth. It just doesn't make sense on a lot of levels. I think the purpose of those vases was simply to experiment with the xenos on an Earth human planet and see what happens. I have more ideas on Paradise on my page as a discussion topic titled 'Paradise' if anyone wants to read my general ideas on the subject.

wiki cut and paste mythos so... it'd be interesting if the master race were ascended to semi-corporeal beings... actually no ... that would be like indiana jones 4 which is shit. probably best if the master race were all gone and the engineers (who i assume are clones) were left fighting their programming and resorted to civil war. that, or if the masters were a darkly comedic bunch of heavily drugged and sedated biomechanical buffons [url=http://lcart3.narod.ru/image/fantasy/giger/ot/hr_giger_acrowley.jpg].[/url] - like the junkies out of the pc game 'darkseed' (plus qualities of the 'dementors' from harry potter - fallen gods - their only kicks they get out of stupidly long life-spans are seeding planets in silly ways to see what idiotic results they come up with. i mean not as obvious as 'mars attacks' but a similar reaction to human nobility and morality - just piss funny to a higher evolved (and more importantly ; more powerful) species. again, would be played out as horror more than comedy. also the engineers 'worship' of the xenomorph proper would be a bit of a passing phase, fad or in-joke to the masters. so in apparent opposite to the above quote; shaw and david find absolute darkness and absolute representation of Satan manifested as a senate of evil beings. shaw and david are kept alive out of entertainments sake. their saving points are davids unreadability for being android (computers are like a lost antiquity to the masters) and liz shaws passionate human mind - which is unpredictable and loud to the masters. she figures out how to actively fuck their heads up as david executes an escape plan. different idea if nought else really hope they dont make 'indiana jones 4 in space' because that would be shit to the power of shit. if they made shaw and david play out 'smokey and the bandit in space' it would be win to the power of win.

The main challenge going forward (as I see it) is Shaw. First of all, is her character's quest our quest? By way of example remember Ripley's mission in Alien? To stay alive, kill the Alien, and get the hell OUT OF THERE! We could all get on board with that. Shaw on the other hand is in search of God. And where God lives. Uh, do we really want that represented on film? How in the heck are they going to pull that off? Frankly, Shaw (for me) is a dead end. Going to where "they" are isn't necessarily unappealing, but making that place the endgame for the film is just asking for disaster. I think there's more potential with David. And perhaps going back and forth between David and Weyland (a younger Weyland, moving up through time telling his story) would have some traction. If I was writing the script I'd stay clear of Dr. Shaw. That's so obvious and tired a character it's not even funny. And there's another issue. Do they get there straight away? For my money (and I'm no movie exec) I'd make it as damn difficult as possible for them to get "there". I'd get there, but probably only in the last minute. The movie exec in me says big bucks - get people talking about Prometheus 3. Probably the most obvious thing to do is have some sort of technical issue with the ship, find safe harbor on a planet in between, there be some connection to the Engineers, the Xenomorphs, and the Humans. I know the "outpost" bit is worn, but perhaps they could go a different route. Maybe instead of a planet it's a deserted ship. A bigger, mother ship - kind of like the one in the beginning of Prometheus.

Hi World!!!! This is a awesome site!!! Thanks for unite us, this is like a big Alien Family. Well i am from P.R. and like my username said: I am a Huge Alien Fan and i will write my ideas from a Prometheus Paradise Sequel. First of all Fox can bring the entire production to Puerto Rico (U.S. Territory) we have big spaces, privacy, good professional local film industry and tax cut for filming here. Sorry for those who gonna read this and can't understand my writing in this language. Are you ready???? Ok this is my point of view for a sequel for maybe 2015. The film will start with the crash of the engineer ship in the paradise sea. The old Gods (our makers) try to find the ship and they rescue Shaw and David. Then in other chapter: The Wayland Corporation capture the emergency alert ( the technology its good but this form of communication in space still very slow) from the special room of Meredith Vickers (six month later) and the Shaw warning message that nobody had to get back to the origin of the signal (planet) because there's only death. But the Son of Charles Bishop Weyland (actor: Cillian Murphy) still want to know what happen to his uncle Peter and cousin Meredith. This is when Cillian remember his childhood with his father (actors: Lance Henriksen and Guy Pearse talk about the future of the company and their dream of funding intelligent life in space. Cillian knows that he is in charge but still want to know the facts of what happen in that planet and he command a rescue mission. Next Chapter: Shaw is very ill by the accident and also by the stomach injuries that happen in LV-223. She can talk but had trouble because the planet oxygen is harsh to her. David its the center of the attention and his knowledge of the history of human kind and language he can translate all the thing that Shaw and the God are saying and asking. Next Chapter: The Ship is already in planet LV-223 and the military/scientific crew wake up: (actress Gina Carano-Doctor in Medicine and co-pilot/ actor Jung Ji-Hoon (Rain) the Chief Pilot and robot specialist (someone had to fix David) but have military training in their past. The Military Crew: ( actor Sam Rockwell is the military in charge he's the captain and associate from Cillian Murphy agenda, this man is serious but also a crazy villain (He only care about money) the second man in charge is actor Gerard Butler, he is in charge of the ground "tactics" battlefield and actor LL Cool J is the expert in bombing operations. The thing is to find the ship room that its making the signal and find David. But the only thing that they find is chaos and death. Most of the entire military crew ( actors-extras) are death or in real pain because they find the queen nest and some nasty things happen. The thing is that Cillian Murphy know that the probability of fund his uncle and cousin are remote and the only thing that matter is to find David because he knows what happen to them and also because he is the true owner of the Wayland Corporations but he never came out of the ship. Most of the crew things that he is a robot. Next Chapter: Back in paradise the Gods are know thinking about desist to kill us all and taking the earth by the force. Shaw is very bad, she also can't eat the only thing that she is taking is water. Next Chapter: the military find another engineer ship but this also have a big surprise!! THE QUEEN-MOTHER...and its a brutal sequence of action between the military and the beast. They succeed by killing her but in that precise moment when the ship began to bornout because of the acid blood the enginner wakes up from hypersleep and he try to escape from the military and starts the engine and the military run out inmidietly from the ship. The enginner began to escape form the planet but at the same time a xenomorph began to get out from his chest and he crash in the LV-226. The next chapter: Shaw try to escape from the Gods temple because David said to her that they most leave and survive because the Gods are going to try to save their species and also because humans are not good with their future home. David sacrifice his life form because he know understand that any life in dangerous try to survive but sometimes with a deadly method. Next Chapter: the military crew is almost gone and only Gina, Rain, Gerard, LL Cool J and Cillian survived. Sam Rockwell is kill by the queen mother that he try to neutralized. Cellian a person you lost he's father by some creature in 2004 is know clear that he is the true owner of the company and the only way that he can capitalized his company is to capture and make this creature the most powerfull weapon in earth, so he without any emotion abandons the planet in a secret ship for extreme emergencies. So he return to earth, but the remain military crew knows that the ship are contaminated because Sam Rockwell expose the scientific crew to a xenomorph and the ship recognized the strange life-form and they explote the ship with the help of LL Cool J bombing stuff. The next chapter: Shaw escape from the temple and she run outside and try to take another ship but she don't succeed because of the terrible atmosphere and lack of oxygen in the planet. The Gods take her and started a ceremony to kill her. She said: it doesn't matter what happen to me because earth its a place that no matter who will win's it still be a place of sacrifice for preserve life. This is when David stop the ceremony to said her final word and then they desist to kill her. She is in a kind of strange bed in the middle of the Gods and they are trying to heal her. They told David that they are know not going to kill us but she is the key for their new method of survive in earth. She is now a Queen between them. Next Chapter: The military crew find another engineer ship and the surprise is that Rain is a robot for second generation. He can command the ship and they decide like Shaw to go to the engineer planet because theirs no way that life continued if that kind of species try again to survive. And they blew up the entire planet and are now into their way to the Gods planet to find more answers or battle. Next Chapter Shaw die because she don't survive the hostile environment of the planet but David still among they as the Human child from a Queen God. The FINAL CHAPTER!!! The military crew arrive into the planet but they crash into the sea and they all die in their hypersleep chamber. But this is not the movie end, they really don't drown themselves into the strange water, they die because the ship had all the time the weapon that the engineer make for us. And the finally the irony cycle its near to his end, the entire God planet get infected by the water of "life" that they drink. This is the end...but if the director wants to tease little more the fans: he finally film the moment when Cillian Murphy command a humanoid robot with a hidden agenda to the cargo ship USCSS Nostromo. The END....

i like the idea of having cilian murphy and some crew going to lv233 to find out what happened to the prometheus crew but much as i like Gerard Butler and LL Cool J i dont see that happening lol, i think at some point(probably right at the end of the third and last movie) it would be good if an unexpected positive side-effect of her horrendous experiences is that shaw finds love again and that she can have normal children maybe shes an ancestor of Lt. Ripley? and the reveal of the name could come in the closing moments the way we found out john blake was robin at the end of TDKR...

scrap all that - get gerard butler his own 'aliens' film as the captain of 'sparta company' space marines where they kill heaps of xenos defending some outpost... and as a twist to the audience - they actually win! (best action sequence in the film uses the original 'sparta remix' as its soundtrack)

Ok nevermind... I would change Gerard Butler for Timothy Olyphan and Ll Cool J for Amaury Nolasco. Now i think is more believable! And also i had to clear out that Cillian Murphy it had to be the grandson of Charles Bishop Weyland and that's because if he is his son it would be to old in the year 2091 or 2092. Thank you for reading!

oh it's simple to see where the series logically goes. Shaw and David find the "engineers" home planet to find them in a civil war. There are a faction of creative - peace loving "engineers" and warrior "engineers". The big disagreement between the to is the creation, diffusion and use of life similar to their own - around the universe. You start drawing interesting parallels between ying and yang, good and bad, the value of life YOU create (cloning), it continues the topic of souls (do they exist), it also makes david's presence noteworthy - he's an artificial life form. are we (humans) more like david to the engineers or are we equal to the engineers? NOW comes the hard part... working the monsters back into the script. WELL! someone possibly the warrior class "engineer" that tried to kill shaw is in hot pursuit. but he's a mutated version of the engineers! and guess what he spawned back up! oh shit! i'm available for hire! ;-)
