Ridley Scott's Next Film Is...

There is a lot to cover in remaining movies...

These are some few points that could but may not be covered..

More History of Weyland Industries...

How did the Derelict get to LV 426 and why?

What is the connection to Mural/Xeno and Goo?

These are questions that could well be answered that may need answering to some degree.

Regarding Paradise...

Does David and Shaw get to Paradise and what to they find, and if there are any Engineers or Elders how to they react and then what consequences does that have for Earth.

If there is little left or non then do we find out why?

Does Shaw get her answers to why we was created and why then to be Destroyed?

Do we see why the Engineers visited us in the past (assuming the Cave Paintings and other clues was left after interaction with Engineers).

Do we find out the true Agenda of the Engineers and their Hierarchy, and why they never came back to Earth or LV 223.

Regarding LV 223...

Does some Human Mission to find out/recover Prometheus take place?

Do they detect Shaws SOS and then send in some Marines or Androids first?

Do they detect the LV 426 signal on route and investigate?

How long does it take for such mission to get to LV 223 and then by then...

a) What becomes of the Hammerpedes and Deacon?

b) What becomes of the Goo left on the floor?

c) Does the leakage kick start some kind of Teraforming, or is LV 223 to remain as Baron as it was in Prometheus.

If there are other Temples which seems to be the case, do they get explored too and what is found?

David said there are many Juggernaughts surely that means more than the Two we saw in Prometheus, what is on board?

What becomes of LV 223?  As surely by the time of Alien there has to be nothing left (Destroyed) as otherwise why go to all the hassle to go to LV 426, when LV 223 holds more rewards/treasure.

Regarding the Xeno...

Do we find out the Xeno Orgins, what came first the Xeno the Egg or the Goo. (Urns)?

Do we find out the connection between the Xeno and the Mural and the Creature in the Frescos and the Xeno/Deacon and Engineers?

Do we find out if LV 223 is where the Xeno originated from and why?

Do we find the true purpose for the Xeno, or other experiments that led to the Xeno or came from it?

Regarding Engineers on LV 223...

Do we find out more about what happened on LV 223, the connection with the Engineers and the Mural and Urns and what really was there Plan.

Do we find out where they got there Bio Tech from, and the Juggernaught ships etc ? (as the Elders and Sacrifice scenes show us they never seemed to have that back then).

Do we find out if there is some conflict between these Engineers and Paradise ones?

Regarding Weyland Yutani....

Do we see or get clues as to how this company formed, i.e is one of the companies in major trouble after the events of Prometheus/Prometheus Part/3 or what ever.

Who runs Weyland Industries with Vickers Dead and Peter Weyland?

Do get shown more of Yutani and what they are all about?

Regarding Androids....

Do we get to see more David 8s, looks like it?

But do we get to see reasons why Bishop said early models was twitchy?

Weyland files indicate there are a lot and i mean tons of Androids in service, is that the case by the time of Alien, as everyone on board is not happy to know Ash is a Android so they must came to a point that Androids was not to be trusted or proved a failure.

Do we get to see what Yutani Androids/Robots are like as well they could not use the realistic patents that make Weyland Androids so Human.

And finally what becomes of our beloved David 8 from Prometheus?

@123Engineer...

Your post made me think about a good point....

Surely maybe by now or when they are finishing off the draft for Part 2 they would know if they would be making a part 3 and where its going.

When Prometheus was made it was left kind of open, left it open for a number of things to be explored. Rildey even felt the movie could stand as a stand alone movie if no sequels came about but that it lent to having one.

My point being that surely Fox would want to either finish most stuff off with the 2nd movie or set it up for a 3rd and know what is do be done in that.

As they can not have Part 2 be left with open ending or unanswered questions that would hint to the need for a Part 3 and then end up not making a Part 3 if say Part 2 did worse than Part 1 and thus Fox decide its not worth doing another movie in the franchise.

That would be a bummer...

so i would think they would rougly know where they are going and what things related to by post before that they will answer and explore and what they will not.

I have a feeling regarding your main last point, that the movie will try and give some depth and more Sci Fi/Space Oddesy and say Mountains of Madness feel in the next movie and how deep would depend if they are going to Paradise, or just LV 223.

I feel a movie that goes to Paradise will give us a Alien feeling to it more than Aliens.

I feel a movie that goes to LV 223 will have a more Aliens vibe to it but not on the scale of Aliens.

Or they could go for something that is neither like a Alien movie, or Aliens.

When you think of it Alien 3 was more of a kind of back to Alien way of things, and Alien R was more of a Aliens flick, and i would assume the Sequel to Prometheus will touch up between those two styles...

So more Alieny than Aliens but less Aliens than Aliens if you know what i mean?

Yeah.. you're kind of right. I can indeed imagine a Prometheus sequel which is like Aliens but it is very unlikely after Fox said that it will be more Alien-y. It would be a horror if the sequel would be a bummer and if they put  their whole plans for the franchise off... 

Which director would you suggest if Ridley Scott can't direct Prometheus 2?

Clint Eastwood....Rrright!?

Just please NOT JJ Abrams!

Well when they said more Alieny...

Its a open comment, as it could refer to a movie with more connection to the Xeno, than more vague like Prometheus was as after Lindeloff came on board the plan was to tone down Alien/Xeno elements of Spaights draft that was too Alieny.

I am sure that Prometheus has a lot of critics and a lot was at the lack of Alieny elements in the movie, disapointment we never got answers and also how the Deacon looked (which when you understand how the Goo works and the events that led to it you understand why it does not look like a Xeno).

So maybe Fox think more money is to be had by making the sequel more Alieny in that way, also there are rumours that Ridley was very happy with Spaights draft.

But then again the term Alieny could also mean the vibe and feel that Alien gave which was a Horror movie, now the reason Alien had that element was because the crew of the Nostramo was not trained and so they was up against a Alien Lifeform that could use the ship enviroment to its advantage picking the crew off one by one, and the crew did not have Military Training or Weapons to deal with such a threat.

We basically got the same tense feeling we got from another masterpeice The Thing (1982).

Alien 3 tried to go that kind of route also...

However if we assume the 2nd movie will be about a recovery mission then i am sure they would take protective procautions on a rescue mission and if it involves more than one David 8, then  i am not sure how they Alien Horror Element would work as it would surely have to be about the Lone Deacon, and Hammerpedes, but no soon as any crew go down and get infected with Goo then we are going to have a lot of Monsters on the go.

So i am not sure it would give us the same effect as Alien, but yes could be same effect as a movie such as Alien 3 or even The Thing if you know what i mean.

Goddamnit, if ALL THIS is true, I'm really pissed off. Why the bloody f#^k would he and the studio abandon Prometheus 2 (or worse yet, hand it off to someone else) to work on some Mars movie instead? Again, I am a sucker for Mars movies and will likely look forward to it no matter who does it, but that doesn't change the fact that Mars movies are NEVER a good investment and Prometheus was. Prometheus needs to be done by Ridley. It's his direction and imagination that makes it so great.

I'm really pissed off. We need to start a petition to 20th Century Fox. Hand the Mars movie over to someone else and MAKE Ridley do Prometheus 2... he seemed so excited about it, too...  what the $#^@ %^&#$@$ $@^ @#$^&^

I feel your pain, Leech. It's like a prolonged withdrawl. But hey, we gotta "stay frosty", ha ha. 

"Stay frosty"?? It's been like 96 degrees outside... haha

Stay frosty is a line from Aliens, I think.

If Ridley can't do it, i want Michael Mann to do it, but then again, there's more chance of me coppin off with Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole lol

Does that mean we get a full CGI Movie with Actors being Voice Overs lol

BigDave; Do you mean Michael Bay?

Michael Mann made 'HEAT' staring De Niro and Pacino.

'MANHUNTER' the film that introduced us to Hannibal Lectar.

'LAST OF THE MOHICANS.'

'THE AVIATOR.'

'THE INSIDER.'

'ALI.' etc

He's one of the best director/Producers out there, but he doesn't get the credit he rightly deserves. Unfortunately, he's never done a Sci-Fi film (i think,) but i think he'd do an amazing job!

The Martian's release date has been moved up! It'll hit multiplexes in November 2015 now. https://twitter.com/boxofficemojo/status/495306049604161537

Well, if another director is chosen, then for my money I would like for it to be Christopher Nolan. The man knows how to put together a story, and would do a fine job as director. Besides, for his work on Batman Begins, he was heavily influenced by Blade Runner. I really think the movie would be in great hands, and would be a great success.

I, too, wonder who could take command of the film in case Scott bails.

I'd like a director able to create an alien atmosphere, a dense sense of the otherwordly and deliberate pacing. Not someone who shoots chaotically, without bothering to organize all aspects of the frame. A person who knows how to build dread and suspense and awe-inspiring moments.

Who could do it?

Duncan Jones. Caradog W. James. Christian Alvart. Guillermo Del Toro (possibly too high-profile for this now). Gareth Edwards. Matt Reeves.
