Filmmaker Ridley Scott has been on a mission create a sequel for Prometheus, though his previous commitments to creating the film have been pushed back due to work on Exodus: Gods an Exodus. As the entertainment public remains unaware of where Prometheus 2 will head in terms of direction, and most importantly, will the alien creature be present, the director recently spoke on the development of the film during his promotional rounds for Exodus. According to Scott, the follow-up will be “fresh” and feature a new alien form.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with The Australian:
[Prometheus 2 is] fresh” and “getting away from gods and dragons and shit. If I see one more dragon I’m going to shoot myself. Stop the dragons.” Rather than a dragon, Scott describes his original Alien as “the definitive dragon and he’s a motherf . . ker. The alien’s real which is why it’s probably one of the scariest monsters in film history,” Scott says. “So withPrometheus 2 what I’m trying to do is reintroduce a fresher form of alien in the third act.” The Prometheus “baby” alien was, he concedes, “awfully close to the alien” that tormented Sigourney Weaver. His next one promises to be very different.
Scott is also working on a follow-up for the sci-fi classic Blade Runner. No word yet on when Prometheu s 2 will hit theaters.
