Sources close to the sequel have told Bloody Disgusting that the studio and (Ridley) Scott are literally “freaking out” over how to continue the story of Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), and are taking pitches from basically anyone who can crack the story*.
OK, while i feel ILX would have a lot to offer them on this, this story seems kind of like a bunch of nonsense. Would it really be that big of a problem? Or, like, worse than the problems plaguing the movie they just made?
Was hoping the URL indicated an article titled "Is The Prometheus Sequel Stalled Out Just Because Nobody Wants To See A Sequel To Prometheus?"

how do you do a movie with an ending where they're like "we're going to the alien planet now, look out for the sequel!" and not have any idea how to do the sequel, i just can't

just make it about going to the alien planet and fighting more of those dudes, how hard is it
Would be cool if ridley scott is just faking writer's block to avoid making this movie.

There are so many ways to continue this story, to varying degrees of bullshit.

I just don't get how, after this movie, which sucked and makes no sense, they'd be stumped with a follow-up. Here are some other ideas that would be just as good:
Charlize survived and develops a rapport with the alien
-girl survivor turns into a space giraffe, aliens put her in a zoo
-Alien morphs into a human and runs for president
-God intervenes, is impregnated by alien, gives birth to alien god
-Survivor ship lands on Mars, finds the planet is already populated by an army of Davids, who have been terrforming Mars and carving out rivers. And alien falls into the river, turning it into an alien river. Then we find out this was centuries ago, and Mars is an infected alien planet, but contemporary earth was interested in going to Mars, but oh no! don't go to Mars, it is an alien planet ruled by an alien god! Turn back! No! Agggghhhh!

let's go straight to the source:
The Engineer lies motionless. Is he DEAD?NO. He moves now. Slow at first -- an ACCIDENT VICTIM...but finally manages to SIT UP. HE PULLS OFF HIS DAMAGEDHELMET, puts his hand to his TEMPLE --BLOOD. The God is actually HURT.And this makes him ANGRYHe rises to his FULL HEIGHT NOW, FEET STRIDING PAST DAVID’SHEAD as The Engineer approaches a CONSOLE -- A combination ofWAVES AND SNAPS ACTIVATES --AN EXTERIOR VIDEO ARRAYA 360 DEGREE VIEW of the area OUTSIDE OF THE JUGGERNAUT. Wesee the SETTING SUN. The flaming WRECKAGE of the MAGELLAN.But most IMPORTANTLY?We see a PERSON. Walking away from the ship. Tiny in thevastness of the desert -- But now the Engineer ZOOMS IN. Andthere’s no mistaking who it is --SHAWAnd as we look into the Engineer’s DARK, DARK EYES as he SEESHER... Perhaps the only survivor of the ship that has KNOCKEDHIM FROM THE HEAVENS, WE SMASH TOEXT. PLANET, CRASH SITE, VICKERS’ MODULE - DUSK

also: atmosphere inside ship was normalized to earth's atmosphere, humans could breathe, etc. - but all the space jockeys wore their elephant suits, except fro the gray dude, who didn't need it.

One of the pre-Lindelof drafts of the script by John Speihts leaked right around the time the movie came out on dvd. It was actually pretty good. A bit too prequel-y, but it had a lot of cool scenes and ideas. Plus it actually made sense.
Lindelof really deserves every ounce of shit he's gotten

Good premise for a sequel imo, humanity outfits a space expedition to tackle the ultimate mysteries of life itself the motives of the characters in Prometheus
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 02:09 (ten years ago) link
what about "vengeful creator species returns to Earth to hunt down and crush everybody responsible for Prometheus?"

running the 'experiments' on the head was really stupid too
the equivalent being, like
*find perfectly preserved mammoth head in frozen siberian tundra*
*stick a hot electric needle into it just to see what happens*

The head thing was also one of the dumbest allusions to the original Alien. It'd been cool if they'd tried to recreate the kinda-obvious cut between the mannequin head and Ian Holm covered in milky goo.

Is there talk of a follow up being in production or anything? Or was it considered too much of a disaster? Seemed to be deliberately setting itself up for a sequel.Have to go and see another to see if its as good/bad as this.
