Okay, so everyone has been pretty sure Prometheus' sequel will be titled Paradise from the start, but still it was speculation.

UPDATE (Nov. 16th, 2015) The title has been confirmed as Alien: Covenant today by 20th Century Fox!

interesting. HOWEVER, it looks as though the domain was registered in nov. of 2010 and that registration could potentially expire next month (correct me if im wrong...i could totally be wrong). That says to me that the abovementioned domain (paradise-movie.com) was probably grabbed up when the working title of prometheus was paradise. In case they went with "paradise" as a film title, they would have the appropriate domain etc. The domain could have nothing to do with the potential sequel??

Joeyjoe, I think you're right about the Created On and Expires On dates, but work is slavery, war is profit, religion (or Science) is mind control and bills are how you're governed, kept quiet. Mortgage, car, taxes, economies, empire - this cannot equate with Freedom (on any planet).

@[b]joeyjoe[/b], It is certainly possible! However, with the recent influence of the title "Paradise" in the deleted scenes, I'm sure Fox won't just leave it. Unless they plan to simply continue with the Weyland site - which would make sense. Who knows, I thought it was interesting regardless. :)

Custodian, exactly what i mean, hell is a place for the suffering a place with selfishness, greed pain , you make money and the government take part of it away even before you receive it even after working your ass off, what i'm saying is that is how slaves are treated with little or no care just like us, we have to suffer to make a living, it's all about controls like empires Custodian said

why do you think they call space 'the heavens" or"where the gods lye" or "home to the gods" so Prometheus Paradise makes a shit load of sense

[b]DAVIS[/b], you also bring up a good point! Last updated this past June, interesting as well! I know most domains can be set for "Auto-renew" by the registrar, as for companies not to forget to pay the bill. So it is probably what Fox has done with this. Talk about planning ahead though if this is the case! But [b]onuris[/b], I like that idea, yeah, I think "[b]Prometheus: Paradise[/b]" would be a cool title, instead of just "Paradise", don't you think? Then the third sequel could be "Prometheus: _____" to maintain the series' connotation.

Ah, but also remember Onuris, Prometheus was more than just the name of the ship, it was the entire underlying mythology behind the plot. I think to keep the Prometheus connotation would be a wise decision, personally. Keeps average joe film goers in the loop when the trailer comes out and also continues on with the mythology where Prometheus left off.

basically there are only two options....either ridley and co. have KNOWN they were going to be doing a sequel from the beginning or the domain in question has nothing to do with a sequel (paradise=prometheus). Im hoping for the former, but am doubtful.

chris, i totally agree with you, but Prometheus was actually a titan in greek mythology, what i' m saying is that they have discovered prometheus and there connection between religion and science but, know they want to discover "paradise" or "Heaven" or even where the "gods" lye Prometheus believed in sacrifice for creation, according to the movie they have met there maker,but know there wanna know where it or they came from. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Prometheus?s=t

Quick question on mythology: was (then) the [i]Garden of Eden[/i] NOT the first time such an event had been set in motion but the RESULT of a pre-cleansing, in potentially a series of pre-cleansings. Get rid of the old to create the new?

Yes. I thought the original working title was Paradise. Having said that, Paradise would be a great title for a follow-up IMO. Simple, to-the-point and... deceptive.

Deceptive, yes. Paradise implies exactly that. From what we know of what paradise will turn out to be, not. Therefore, a deception.

Well was Prometheus not originally going to be called Paradise prior to they started shooting the movie, and Lindelof came on board and Prometheus was instead used? Also Ridley had said that he always felt Prometheus would lend itself to a sequel and it appears he plans there to be 2 sequels so maybe Paradise and the 3rd, something related to Hell?

i agree Big Dave, but ZZplural haven't you been reading the previous comment, technically where in hell, it's no point to call a movie paradise if it's going to be about hell, the star are so post so be Heavens remember, that is where they are trying to go hens PARADISE, if that is even what it is going to be called

@onuris, Depends on from whose perspective paradise is perceived. It may very well be that the Paradise encountered in the sequel is a paradise for the Engineers/other beings, but a Hell for others (re: Shaw, whatever other human cast we see). Re: stars, some perceive them as the heavens, but in a very technical sense, they are their own flavor of hell. Get too close to one and bam, you're insta-toast--immolated at an atomic level and all that fun stuff. Atoms to atoms, stardust to stardust. :)

Paradise is the project name for Scott since more than 2 years. But it is also on of the most used name in cinema and TV movies. So i really doubt that it will be the next movie name ^^

I believe I read quite a while ago that when the alien prequel was in its infancy the film wasent going to have any human characters in it so it will be interesting to see if we do have a sequel set on the engineers world with no humans in it.paradise sounds like a good title but I'm not sure fox would use paradise as a title from a cut scene.now everyone dont get impatient and get Ridley and fox to rush a sequel lol we want the next film to be as fresh as prometheus I want them to take their time with it.ive seen too many rushed crap follow ons the last couple of years.

I rember a couple of years ago when the alien prequel was being toyed around with ideas about the film being set on the engineers world with no humans in it at all.so it could be an old title but you never know Ridley might make another film with that title I'm hopeing the next film is as fresh as prometheus and that they don't rush and make a crap one.

The problem is that site for checking the domain can't be counted on. I checked my site to see what it comes up with. The Registrant/Contact information is listed in Canada. I am in the US.

PARADISE is o.k., but not as charged with history as Prometheus, since it is an abstraction. Now, Paradiso comes with all kinds of good baggage.

Custodian recently proposed the name EDEN, although for a different film that Custodian is craving. Would be cool, though. Hey unclefunbuckets, any connection to uncle fun in Chicago?

I don't know. Paradise is just... predictable ! And the 2 movie should not be, far from what whe could imagine and as dark that whe just want to going under the seat in to the cinema room. And by corollary, to the same plan intelligent. Not like and Alien Vs Predator who's just design for express what we want to see, and not what the director can do !

The sequel should be titled "Pandora", not "Paradise". Naming it 'Pandora' would keep the title in tune with the greek mytholgical theme already there. And besides, in the original greek myth stories, Pandora and Prometheus are connected. It was because of Prometheus that Pandora was given her famous "pandora's box", the one that let out untold horrors on all of humanity. That is a pretty good analogy for the sequel film. We left off with David and Shaw flying off to look for mankinds creators, even though those very same creators tried to destroy mankind. David and Shaw making themselves known to these creators, along with the rest of humanity in the process, is going to cause trouble. Their curiosity is going to unleash a varitable 'pandoras box' of horror and consequences.

I know in a certain scripture says that the garden, which held the forbidden fruit (secret knowledge of eternity)before the time when the Earth and the Sky was as one like a cloud . Then decay! I hope these next few movies hold fast to the more biological surreal representation of HR Gigers style. His biomechanics have ghosts in it's shell, electically alive but decayings and dead at the same time. I miss the derelict and that old giantly morphed skeleton in the pandor Apparatus to another demension of the forbidden, dangerous and completely ALIEN!
