[quote]Prometheus sequel is officially happening
EntertainmentMoviesNews
In a suspiciously low-key fashion, Fox has confirmed that this year’s
hyped science fiction smash hit, Prometheus, will indeed have a sequel.
The Ridley Scott is-it-or-is-it-not prequel to Alien that grossed over
$303 million worldwide will air its follow-up in 2014, with Scott, Noomi
Rapace and Michael Fassbender commited to continuing the cinematic
legacy.
Screenwriter Damon Lindelof, however, will not work on the project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox’s president of production Emma
Watts has emphasized that audiences must remain patient for the
peroration as the studio and ““Ridley [Scott] is incredibly excited
about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can’t rush it.”
Interestingly, Watts has overseen sequels from both the X-Men and Planet
of the Apes franchises (take that as you will) and word on the web is
that after part two, viewers can expect an epic third instalment. [/quote]
Of course it says "word on the web." I don't know exactly what that means, but it seems to be a "take it with a grain of salt" statement. But I think this is a strong possibility. Maybe they'll even film two films back to back. Who knows.
Also bluray.com seems very positive on Prometheus in general. Not that I wouldn't expect that, but I think it's inhabited more by real movie fans and less by bitter elitist super nerds and movie flaming trolls like certain other websites that shall remain nameless.
