So what's happening to that Blade Runner sequel then?

[Fenderputty]

That being said I'd probably rewatch The Happening before I'd sit through Prometheus again.

This is straight insanity talking.

Prometheus was enjoyable for me so I'm excited for the next. It wasn't the greatest movie, but the hyperbole in here is pretty amazing.

[Mondriaan]

Isn't it still too early to tell whether or not Lindelof will be involved in the next movie?

I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of a sequel. The way Prometheus went about asking the really big questions was done in only the most hamhanded way possible, so I'm not sure if they should even bother trying to answer those questions.

It seems like it might be a better approach to make the sequel about a berserking. post-human angel of death wreaking havoc on the Engineers' home world and make it a straight action/horror.

The alleged '4th' phase of the Alien cycle would be interesting:

[Erigu]

Scott is a massive part of the problem.

Agreed.

What an awful article.

Yep, Lost apologists are a funny bunch.

Lindelof is good at writing characters.

Oh, he really isn't.

has Lindelof even put out a solid, contained film script yet? Maybe he should just stick to TV?

Maybe he should find another line of work.

Why even bother?

How I feel, pretty much... Can't we just forget that movie was made?

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"?

Er... A bunch of those posts were discussing how inept the movie was, so...

[GhaleonEB]

I can't get myself to be excited about this news until I know who the writer is, and whether Scott is interested in telling a story rather than "asking questions".

And also, creating a series of events that build on one another, with developments that are not discarded, and characters who behave semi-logically.

[DieH@rd]

Fox is pushing for a 2014/15 release. They're looking for new writers, because Lindelof "might not be available" :lol :lol

Lindelof will be busy writing the blade runner sequel

[3N16MA]

Is the guy from Powder also coming back?

[Alfarif]

PROMETHEUS 2 "So why did you create us? Answer me because I'm telling you to!" ".....nigga get the fuck out my face" *kills her, goes on to fuck up Earth* THE END

Fuck this is hilarious. I've been laughing for ten minutes now.

[Shalashaska161]

Prometheus was pretty bad but I'm still open for a sequel. If only because I want another pretty big budget sci-fi movie.

[Scullibundo]

Get Alex Garland to write this shit.

[ciridesu]

Figures, thank god Lindehof fucked off though

Prometheus had to be the biggest anti-hype movie of the last few years, jeez it blew my mind towards the end

Honestly not sure what to think though, I don't really have any faith in a sequel either as the whole project failed and seemingly no-one had any clue of the type of movie they should have made.

[1138]

Get Alex Garland to write this shit.

But what about all the people who want a good third act?

[Secret Fawful]

They're looking for new writers, because Lindelof "might not be available" :lol :lol

Should've never hired that hack in the first place.

[KAOS]

Please no Lindelost get Gary Whitta to do it.

[Solo]

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"?

At least half of those posts are discussing how dumb the movie is.

[Scullibundo]

But what about all the people who want a good third act?

What about them?

[jett]

Ah fuck, spend your time more wisely Ridley.

[SirButterstick]

Can't wait to regret bringing a girl to this movie, too. Bring it on.

Ha ha. Rules of Attraction and Training Day were my regrets.

[alphaNoid]

Please no Lindelost get Gary Whitta to do it.

Then Gary can talk to the GAF elite and get this shit done right.

[Darknessbear]

Sweet. I was told it was bad by so many, that my hype was negative. I loved it... can't wait to see more. So many cool designs in the movie!

The writing was bad to me though...

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Worst $10 I've spent in awhile. If I could go back in time, I'd tell myself to save the money and wait for the dvd to rent.

[Kunan]

Really? This thread has made it 4.5 hours without a title edit to remove the spoilers?

;~;

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Lindelof not huh? Fuck yea GAF, mistake realized. Hoping it can be redeemed with a sequel.

[jett]

Really? This thread has made it 4.5 hours without a title edit to remove the spoilers? ;~;

*shrugs*

[Scullibundo]

LOL! Now that you mention it, it is a pretty inconsiderate thread title.

[Solo]

Wait, what's the spoiler? I see no mention of space flutes....

[1138]

What about them?

I actually love Sunshine, best sci-fi movie of the millennia

[DanteFox]

Awesome. Prometheus is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Can't wait.

[Scullibundo]

I actually love Sunshine, best sci-fi movie of the millennia

Garland wrote the book, not the screenplay for The Beach. :)

[bone_and_sinew]

I'm looking forward to it, haters be damned.

[ViewtifulJC]

The Beach didn't have a good ANY act. It didn't have the chance to go to shit like Sunshine somehow did; it was there from the very beginning.

You take that back right now.

Fuck you, Richard! Fuck you!

[strafer]

Let Martin Cambell direct it.

[Robot Pants]

Honestly, now that lindehof is gone, just remake the movie how it should have been the first time. Ill go see it again. Hell ill see it 10 times and buy it on bluray

[Cousteau]

This needs the writing talent of Sir George Lucas attached to it.

[Demoncarnotaur]

Im definitely looking forward to it, it really felt Prometheus was built as 'part 1' of a multi-part story. I really feel Ridley has a good story to tell, and I enjoyed Prometheus so I am on board. Tighten up the script this time and I think the movie will perform well.. hell, if the story is tighter it may retroactively improve the general consensus of Prometheus.

Hmmm.. 2014 has the potential of Prometheus 2 and JP4. Please let it happen.

[Pachterballs]

Can't wait for this. Hardly any point debating anything - I think its well covered in the prometheus OT+spoiler threads, so far off

[Mgoblue201]

I didn't care for the idea of a sequel even before the film came out (which I still haven't seen, by the way, so I am not basing my opinion on the perceived quality of the movie). There are future projects that have far more urgent need of Scott's talents, such as The Forever War and Brave New World, and he only has so many more films left in him.

[Phoenix]

I'm hopeful that Hollywood will pull a Spiderman and "re-image"/"redo" the movie all over again as a new origin story.

[Solo]

This needs the writing talent of Sir George Lucas attached to it.

That would be a step up. I can't believe I can say that and have it be true.

[Yenrot]

Was so hyped for Prometheus but due to the tiny amount of 2D screens Fox put out for it, I never did get to see it. Not wanting 3D is purely because I have shitty eyesight, but jesus Fox, at least give us the option.

[Scullibundo]

They should ask Cameron to pump it out while he's busy delaying his much better movies.

[LM4sure]

Meh, at this point I have no interest in a sequel. I was so hyped up for Prometheus but it really let me down. Lindelhof is a terrible writer, but Scott has to bare some of the blame as well. Replace him and hire a decent writer and director and I'm on board. Scott is so hit or miss.

[Dan]

Get Alex Garland to write this shit.

Why waste him on this shit?

[relaxor]

Well this is no surprise. It seems like the first movie really gave us all the 'heavy' stuff all at once, I wonder if they'll try to cram as much half-assed profundity into the sequel.

Alien planet was an advanced prototype of what become the geo-engineered Earth? Xenomorph as Prime Mover, instigator of the Big Bang?

[Scullibundo]

Why waste him on this shit?

Because it's better than him doing Dredd paychecks.

[Dan]

Because it's better than him doing Dredd paychecks.

Psh, that movie's apparently good fun. Prometheus 2 doesn't have a chance at that as long as Ridley Scott is calling the shots. No writer is going to make that decent.

[jett]

Because it's better than him doing Dredd paychecks.

Dredd looks awesome and has gotten surprisingly positive impressions.
