Can't wait to see how they continue this story.

Best way...

opens with the end of Prom, and david "Waking up" back on a ship, doing a sort of Hard Reboot to his systems.. He "dreamed" the whole movie Prometheus, as a machine weylend gains interest...subtle, but just continue from there with the rest of the movie.

[Snaku]

Cannot wait. The hate this movie receives is absurd.

[Speedymanic]

Can't wait to see how they continue this story.

Yup. My main concern is how they'll introduce more humans into the plot. Will the message Shaw leaves behind on the planet draw in some marines/rescue party and in turn create the more common Xeno we see in the Alien movies or will they keep the focus on Shaw, David and the SJ. I'd prefer the latter.

[Danielsan]

I loved Prometheus so I'm on board with more sci-fi thrillers from Ridley. That said, I still can't believe that anyone approved that god damn scene with Elizabeth and Meredith running away from a rolling spaceship. It was simply beyond stupid.

[Sub_Level]

I suspect that

- We will see Yutani Company or Weyland-Yutani merged.

- We will see more of the xenomorph, including eggs and facehuggers

- We will see space jockey interaction between human and engineer that goes beyond a physical altercation.

[Tom_Cody]

My most absolute most anticipated movie. Can't wait to see what the Engineer homeworld (a.k.a heaven/hell) looks like. I will also look forward to the further adventures of Shaw's child.

[Hindle]

Why even bother? Although Lindelof not being involved gives a little bit of hope.

[twinturbo2]

Prometheus had great visuals, but kind of meh everything else. I'd be interested to see where they go with the series with a new writer.

With the way it ended, I totally get this.

[Messypandas]

I wanna see Giger hell Ridley. Don't puss out again

[Phat Michael]

2nd best movie of the year after avengers..cant wait for this. such a truly beautiful film and concept.

[Jake McLargeHuge]

Well, they did make it pretty clear near the beginning that LOST was a Sci-Fi/fantasy show, and as soon as the Smoke Monster was introduced mid-first-season, you kind of have to stop expecting scientific answers and accept "magic." If you didn't prepare yourself for the supernatural once that kind of crap started hitting the fan, then I'm sorry but you only have yourself to blame for being let down.

There's a marked difference between supernatural and magic. Besides a lack of internal logic during key moments and dangling plot threads that are never resolved can't be chalked up to magic. That's fine if a lot of people accept it at face value, but it's silly to dismiss people who were unsatisfied.

[Ken Masters]

:( Worst movie of the decade so far. Maybe it'll be less of a shit-fest without Lindehof.

After watching Amazing Spiderman yesterday, I'd have to disagree with you

[The Outsider]

Sounds good. Dumping Lindelof is great news.

I think a sequel could be something great, especially if they attempt to explain some of the shit that went down in the first one.

I do wish Prometheus was a one-off direct prequel, but more Rapace and Fassbender will do.

Side note: Since we've already used Elba, does this mean we get JGL to play someone in a sequel?

[Phat Michael]

stop quoting him.dude its.clearly just a troll post looking for attention.

That's fine if a lot of people accept it at face value, but it's silly to dismiss people who were unsatisfied.

The unresolved plot threads can in part be chalked up to the writer's strike of 2007-2008, which cut Season 4 down to only 14 episodes out of the planned 26, meaning that had to cut several corners in regards to many arcs (such as Kevin Johnson) and dismiss some threads entirely. I'm sorry if I came off as flippant or dismissive, but I do feel that there was a threshold of disbelief that one must cross in order to truly enjoy this show.

[JaseC]

Pretty much my reaction when I read the last two words of the thread title.

[twinturbo2]

I've only seen five movies so far this year, and if I had to rank 'em, they'd go...

Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D > Ted > Hunger Games > 21 Jump Street > Prometheus

I'm just so burned out on superhero movies, so I skipped The Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man and Dark Knight Rises.

[Dennis]

lmao, Ridley throwing Lindelof under the bus.

[m0ngo]

I don't know which to be more excited about, that there is going to be a sequel or that lindelof won't be involved... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

[Busty]

A Prometheus 2? Pffft. Believe it when I see it.

A sequel (that will almost certainly be more expensive) to a film that made a little over $300m at the WW box office and is generally considered a dud?

Suuuuuuure Fox will make a sequel.

I don't know anyone (apart from some dooods on the Internet who don't know any better) who thought this film was passable let alone actually any good.

This has 'Superman Returns sequel' return all over if you ask me.

[Exterminieren]

A sequel to a movie that was made on the (relative) cheap, with tax breaks, that made an impressive amount of profit, particularly for an R-Rated movie, in a franchise that does excellent DVD business on top?

Quality concerns aside, I see little reason why they wouldn't.

[Busty]

Though Lindelof has a sizeable share of the blame (and rightly so) for Prometheus I don't understand why Ridley Scott escapes such criticism.

As the director he is the 'captain of the ship' and ultimately responsible for it's course and performance. Replacing the writer is all well and good but ultimate blame lies at Scott's feet and getting a new writer isn't going to solve the core problem that is Scott and his general poor standards.

As I said time and again before this film's release this Ridley Scott is a LONG way from being anywhere near the director that made Blade Runner or Alien. A long way.

A sequel to a movie that was made on the (relative) cheap, with tax breaks, that made an impressive amount of profit, particularly for an R-Rated movie, in a franchise that does excellent DVD business on top? Quality concerns aside, I see little reason why they wouldn't.

Utterly incorrect.

[dc89]

I'll go see it.

[EulaCapra]

We should've raged if this movie didn't have a sequel. Such a waste of film otherwise if it stood alone.

And bah, Theron was wasted playing a one-off character. Ugh.

[a secret-boss]

just it in theaters this weekend.

really enjoyed. looking forward to the sequel

[y2dvd]

Didn't enjoy Prometheus as much as I wanted to but I'm interested in a sequel.

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

What if...Prom2theus turns out bad...even without Lindelof?

[Exterminieren]

Utterly incorrect.

OK, impressive might be overstating the case somewhat, but the UK tax breaks ensured that it's turned a decent amount of profit at the very least; certainly enough for a sequel to be viable.

[Mercury Fred]

After watching Amazing Spiderman yesterday, I'd have to disagree with you

Ha! Amazing Spiderman was terrible as well (really loved Sally Field's dreadlock wig though).

[Phoenician_Viking]

Prometheus was disappointing, but far from awful. Calling it "the worst" of anything is just baseless hyperbole.

As far as i am concerned it´s much worse than Transformers ROTF, for the reason that i knew what i get when i watch transformers, and i expected a lot, a lot better from Prometheus. Prometheus Is definitely and by far the most disappointing movie in the last decade as far as i am concerned.

[Houston3000]

Bullshit. Have you really forgotten about 'gems' like Battleshits, Terminator Salvation, Predators, Where the Wild Things Are, Paranormal Activity 1, 2, 3, Final Destination, The Debt, Real Steel, Priest, Devil, The Last Airbender, The Happening, Alien Resurrection, Sky Kids, Green lantern, Ghost Rider 1 and 2, Van Helsing, Origins: Wolverine, X3...I could go on, but I feel I've made my point.

You're kidding, right?

Going by your list... Predators, all three Paranormal Activities, at least half of the Final Destination movies, Alien Resurrection, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine were at least a few dozen times more entertaining (not even saying they're great movies) than slugging through the terribly boring and plot-hole filled Prometheus, it ended up being neither cerebral, scary, nor exciting. Anything in the story that had the slightest hint at giving you something interesting or intriguing to think about was completely dashed.

The only films on your list that even come close to being as terrible as Prometheus was are the Shyamalan films. That being said I'd probably rewatch The Happening before I'd sit through Prometheus again.

[ScraftyDevil]

Maybe so, but disappointing =/= bad. For those of us who went in witj our expectations low, it was a suitably enjoyable film. ROTF has worse writing, worse cinematography, and much, much worse acting. I can't even see how you could argue that it's better.

I could argue it´s better due that it did not disappoint me, and there were no plot holes in the movie.

[ScraftyDevil]

You can't judge a film's quality by your own expectations. If I go into, say, The Expendables 2 thinking it's going to be horrible and it turns out I was right, does that make it a good film just because it did not betray my expectations? Just because you liked ROTF and hated Prometheus doesn't mean that the former is a good film and the latter isn't.

As for ROTF having no plot holes... Did you and I see the same crummy movie?

[pringles]

Cannot wait. The hate this movie receives is absurd.

Agreed. I think it should have been longer (hopefully an extended cut comes) but fantastic movie nonetheless. I saw it 3 times in cinemas and I'll be there Day 1 for Prometheus 2.

[Garcia el Gringo]

I wonder if Ridley is going to try to top the c-section. What a twisted scene that was.

I loved Prometheus, flaws and all, but I probably won't be as easy on the sequel. Make it quality, Scott. I'm excited. :)

[paul187]

This thread is rage inducing. I fucking loved Prometheus and I can't wait for a sequel. Was really worried we wouldn't get one.

[Neuromancer]

I'd rather he make The Forever War but I assume that project is dead and buried. What a pity.

[Hindle]

They're best off making it stand alone and getting rid of the Alien connection imo.

[Endo Punk]

I'm all for a sequel to Prometheus instead of a Blade runner follow up. That film should never be touched it's perfect. Besides I really like Prometheus and want to see what becomes of the characters, hopefully Scott doesn't go all Aliens up its arse. The last thing I want Prometheus to turn into is another generic Alien wars.

[Ushojax]

If there is a sequel I expect it will be much closer to a traditional Alien movie. Audiences didn't give a crap about the ponderous bilge from Prometheus, they won't be back for more of the same.

[Mercury Fred]

High-five.

[params7]

As somebody already said, the problem is Ripley Scott himself. He's pulling an M Night Shyamalan on us..just on a much lengthier scale where M Night lost his magic after 2 movies or so.

[SUPREME1]

Keep Fassbender, ditch Lindelof? Add one more clutch actor and baby you got a stew going

Just started watching Arrested Development with my wife, about 15 episodes in.

[Jake McLargeHuge]

No worries. Some storylines do deserve some slack(Walt, Eko, etc), but you'd have to imagine that the people who had enjoyed the show up until the last few seasons had already made it past that threshold. I myself made similar arguments up until season 4 when things started getting really baffling to me. I just think there are plenty of legitimate issues to have with the show outside of suspension of disbelief. Lindelof and Cuse did themselves no favors when they at one point said everything had a scientific base/answer.

Ugh. I can fully understand why people had issues with the movie but willfully ignorant comments like this just make my blood boil.

The OT and the spoiler thread combined for about 12,000 posts. Does that really indicate that the film offered nothing "interesting or intriguing to think about"?

Did they really say that? I guess they kind of shot themselves in the foot right out of the gate. I'm a proud owner of the LOST Encyclopedia (which provides answers to pretty much every question I had), so I guess I'm not really in a position to try to change the opinions of people who didn't like the show.

[GrumpyAlien]

Good news for me. I absolutely loved Prometheus and would gladly see a sequel. LOL at the worst movie of the last decade hyperbole.
